Visit Romania!

[Basileos Leandros I]

The Black Sea coast has a warm climate (like Bulgaria)?

It's just a difference of around 100kms between the main resorts, so it's the same climate.

Very warm with constant marine breeze.

(N-am ce zice. Foarte mandrii de tara noastra. Dar daca peisajele sunt minunate si istoria e ceva cu care sa ne mandrim, in prezent nu cred ca merita vizitata caci ar forma o parere mai mult proasta. Parerea mea, n-am scris in engleza ca sa nu dau o impresie proasta "vizitatorilor")
Nice topic, anyway, and it's good that others promote our lands. The documentation is right and the pictures make me want to visit and revisit those places.

Absolutely stunning; I had no idea Romania was such a majestic country; the only thing that I don't think I would like is the snow. On average, how would you describe Romanian spring and summer?

Thank you for the comments.

Spring, it very much depends on what part of the country you are. In the north it's chilly, partly because of the Russian winds coming from the north, and in summer it can be cool, approximately 25 degrees Celsius maximum.

In the south however, particularly if you come to Bucharest, springs are warm and summers are very hot because Bucharest is in the middle of a large flatland (Campia Baragan). It can go up to 35 degrees Celsius, so that's quite hot. The seaside has the same values, except that it has a constant marine breeze due to the Black Sea.

I'd personally prefer to visit Hungary, but your pics of Romania are fantastic as well.

In Romania many people have a horse and a cart instead of a car lol.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

And that's a pic from a very few years ago. Oh, and when the guys from Top Gear came here, they had a car accident with a Romanian with Lamborghini But we have only carts with horses, indeed.

I also want to go to Romania, with my €5 per hour wage I am pretty much a demi-god over there.

Those American films really brainwash people.

Don't worry, I personally think all the sites are more awesome to be seen in spring anyway.

[Psychonaut]

Wow, Romania looks awesome! It's been added to my list of places to go in Europe.

[tavix]

Awesome pictures guys !

Felicitari .

Poor countries tend to have a small very wealthy elite.

I was refering to those farmers in those medieval villages of yours.

Those American films really brainwash people.

Isn't the average wage in Romania like 700 Leu or €170 a month?
I make that kind of money and I work 1.5 day a week doing a some underpaid student job.

You are more than welcome to visit my friend.

Medieval villages, you got that right, many villages in Transylvania preserve their medieval character and traditional medieval buildings which makes them very interesting to visit.

The average wage in Romania, in May 2009, was 1855 Lei, or around 450 Euros/630 US Dollars. It's pointless comparing the Purchasing Power Parity and GDP per capita of a wealthy Western European country to a former Communist bloc Eastern European country.

That being said, it shouldn't prevent you from visiting and enjoying the spectacular sights.

And buying a lot for few money.

[Basileos Leandros I]

Like I said, it shouldn't prevent you from visiting and having a great time.

One would assume going to someplace for vacation where everything is cheap is a great positive.

One word of advice - don't expect it to be as cheap as everyone makes it to be. Bucharest is fairly expensive, especially compared to the rest of the country, and to make a comparison, petrol prices are higher in Romania than Spain, Luxembourg and Poland.

But nevertheless, Romania is cheaper than the rest of Europe.

Ofcourse not, it would be a great thing.

Wow, you live in such a beautiful country! I hope I manage to visit Romania one day

And I think most people actually misunderstood what Borat was all about. It was a movie trying to bring out people's beliefs. If you think what you were laughing at you can even feel sorry for yourself. It was certainly not a racist movie.
