Discover authentic Romania: unforgettable experiences await

Whether you’re a foodie, an adventurer, a seeker of hidden gems, or simply curious about authentic local life, Romania offers experiences that are as diverse as they are memorable.

Here are just a few of the unique things you can do while exploring Romania:

Taste Romania’s delicious food

Traditional Romanian cuisine is an explosion of flavors, with plenty of options for both vegetarians and meat lovers. You should definitely try bulz (cheese and polenta), zacusca, juicy mici, sarmale (cabbage rolls) simmered for hours, and papanasi (special doughnuts).

For the full experience, enjoy these dishes in a variety of local restaurants – from rustic taverns in Transylvania to elegant spots in Bucharest or seaside terraces in Constanța. Every region adds its own twist!

Sip coffee in a salt mine

Imagine sipping freshly brewed coffee 205 meters underground, surrounded by salt and breathing the purest air. Romania’s salt mines, like the Slanic Salt Mine, offer a surreal, relaxing, and truly unique experience — and it’s also the largest salt mine in Europe.

Explore Viscri, the favorite Romanian village of King Charles III

With its cobbled lanes, pastel Saxon houses, and peaceful countryside charm, Viscri offers a timeless escape – one that even royalty couldn’t resist. One of King Charles’s passions is heritage and craftsmanship, and this house was opened to showcase exactly that.

Private tour and exclusive dinner inside Dracula’s Castle

Brave the legends of Transylvania with SpotLynx: stay in a centuries-old castle or a cozy guesthouse near Bran, where history and myth intertwine under the shadow of the Carpathians.

Choose a truly unique experience: a private tour and exclusive dinner inside the castle, or simply enjoy a relaxing lunch at Queen Marie’s Tea House after your visit.

Take a slow ride on a steam train through the mountains

Hop aboard the Mocanita, a narrow-gauge steam train that puffs its way through the scenic forests and valleys of Maramures or Bucovina. It’s like stepping into a storybook.

Join a traditional village celebration

Experience Romania’s folk heart by taking part in seasonal festivals, where locals dress in traditional costumes, play live music, and dance until sunrise. Easter in Bucovina or Christmas in Maramures are truly magical.

Paddle through the wild beauty of the Danube Delta

The Danube Delta is the second-largest river delta in Europe. Board a kayak or a boat and glide silently through one of Europe’s last great wetlands. Spot pelicans, wild horses, and untouched fishing villages as you float through another world.

Relax in Romania’s natural thermal baths

Romania is home to one-third of Europe’s mineral water sources and a wealth of thermal springs. From the healing waters of Băile Felix to the mineral-rich lakes of Sovata, Romania’s thermal spas offer the perfect blend of wellness and nature. Just soak, unwind, and let go!

Discover traditional crafts in Lisa, Brașov

Step into La Valtori, a unique open-air museum where a 19th-century hydraulic installation still processes wool as it did in the 1850s. See the fulling mill in action, explore handmade wool garments, and connect with the resilience and traditions of a mountain village shaped by history.

Learn pottery from a village master in Horezu

Step into a traditional ceramics workshop and shape your own clay piece alongside local artisans who’ve been passing down their craft for generations. Horezu pottery is UNESCO-listed for a reason, and you’ll see (and feel) why.

Every experience in Romania tells a story – and we’re here to help you live it.
