Despite a rough political passage in the preceding decades, Romania today offers the visitors the charm of naturally endowed interesting spots coupled with great hospitality. From what is referred to as "Transylvanian Alps", the tourist has the choice of Black Sea Beaches as well.

While history-inclined would find their meat in some of the relics of Early Roman and subsequent Byzantine Empire heritage sites, the present dispersion of population in Romania is such that the rural charm overwhelms. Nearly fifty percent of the population still has the rural foundations and, having preserved their rural heritage, give the world the delights of folklore and a dozen other diversities of engrossing pastoral atmosphere.

Apart from Alpine climbing, Romania is studded with natural thermal spas. While the former will whet the appetite of rugged work of the conscious tourists for the passion of mountaineering, the latter are a perennial source for physical relief. The contrast is striking but satisfying to the respective hunters of delight. In the recent years a number of casinos have come up to cater to those with risky instincts to satisfy their goals.

Danube Delta, Carpati Mountains and Prahova Valley are some other attractions besides of course the capital city of Bucharest. The mountains and valleys are still the preserves of natural settings and one is lost in the pristine silence of the nature as opposed to many mechanical aberrations elsewhere. The whole range of valleys and mountain peaks are a solace to nature lovers who are totally immersed in the peaceful atmosphere. There are Dracula tours in Transylvania while walking and trekking tours to many places of incredible natural splendor are also arranged economically and in an organized manner by a number of agencies.

The diverse rural cultures in such areas like Maramures, Bucovina, Crisana, Banat, Oltenia and Muntenia are a source of inspiration to rural living and admiration for natural habitations. You have almost all varieties of travel here, cars, trains, buses, etc. Thousands of cheap hotel deals abound throughout Romania to take care of the visitors according to their tastes and budgets. One is equally impressed with the delights of the palate and wine in Romania. The tourist will be surprised at the plethora of festivals and folklore abounding in the place. There are no shortages of castles or historical monuments either.

Though many of the millions of tourists right now are from neighboring areas it will just be a question of time before people from all over the globe make it a bee-hive for tourism. For it has the charm and potential for such an attraction.
