Overview
of Romania
Romania has the wonderful opportunity of offering visitors priceless treasures like: the Danube Delta (the only delta in Europe). Visitors can benefit from services offered by the tourism companies from resorts on the Black Sea, or in the Carpathian Mountains.
Romania is also renowned as an important destination at world level in what concerns the bathing treatment tourism. In addition, we recommend the trips to the Romanian monasteries (many of them are one of a kind monuments in the world).
Last but not least, Romania is the country of Dracula. The famous character, known all around the world, has Romanian roots and a history that attracts many visitors yearly to Romania.

Cultural events are frequently organized in Bucharest - music festivals, open-air concerts, exhibitions, fairs. Romanian theatre is also of high quality, although language may prove a problem for non-Romanian speakers. A variety of theatres offer a good mixture of Romanian and other drama. Cinema theatres display mainly American movies, but European (mostly French) films are also shown, always in original version, with subtitles.
Bucharest enjoys a rich musical tradition, with a variety of concert venues and weekly music programmes. During the season, the National Opera for Opera and Ballet also offers an excellent programme. The Operetta offers good performances of Central European favorites. Many provincial cities also have a symphony orchestra and an opera house.
Bucharest and most other cities also have a number of museums, with impressive vestiges of Romania's
colorful history. The Art Collections Museum and the National History Museum are well worth a visit.
