Some of the most
We can find many astonishing monasteries around Bucharest, most of them built centuries ago by the rulers of the country or local noblemen. Among the most interesting, we can visit monasteries like Snagov, Cernica, Căldărușani, Comana, Pasărea, Sitaru and Țigănești, located 20 to 50 kilometers from the capital. Entrance to most orthodox monasteries is free for everyone, usually being open all day long, although some might have certain requirements.

One of the most prestigious and popular mountain resorts of Romania, Poiana Brașov is the oldest skiing destination in the country and excels in everything, featuring several excellent world class slopes and an extensive ski domain, with a complete and modern cable transportation system and other high quality services. Although considered among the luxury winter destinations of Romania, it offers a lot of advantages and is still quite affordable compared to the ski resorts of western Europe.
