Romania is a very versatile holiday destination. Medieval towns, magnificent castles, mighty fortresses and lonely monasteries, and not least by their unique character the Seven Saxon citadels invite sightseeing. The countryside is also very impressive, especially by wide vist as with various landscapes - from the original Carpathians to the Black Sea.

Contrary to widespread misconception a trip to Romania is not more dangerous than in another European country.To enter simply bring a valid identity card or passport. Money can be exchanged in offices, banks or at automatic exchange machines, in the cities there are plenty of EC-card machines.

On arrival in your own car, you should note that for the Romanian national roads vignette is copulsory - it is best to buy the "Rovinieta" right at the border crossing. The major border crossings are Bors / Oradea and Nadlac / Arad. The main transport routes are usually well developed, but secondary roads are often littered with potholes or without asphalt. For train travelers we recommend the night "Dacia Express" which leaves Vienna for Bucharest daily. The major airports for air travellers are Bucharest (Cheap flights), Sibiu (scheduled flights from Munich and Vienna), Cluj-Napoca (Cheap flight from Dortmund, scheduled flights from various German cities and Vienna) and Targu Mures (Scheduled flights). As the accommodation is usually situated outside of the cities, we recommend arriving by private vehicle or rental car.

The supply situation in Romania is now very good. Along the main transport routes are plenty of gas stations and rest houses. In the larger cities you can find supermarkets, in almost every village there is a small shop, in which you can buy everyday articles.
