Romania is home to numerous castles, palaces, and fortresses, spanning nearly 1000 years - or more! - of the land's history, occupied since the era of the Roman Empire. Some have been well maintained, refurbished, and turned into museums. Some are ruins of civilizations long passed.

Romania doesn't have an early morning culture. Most restaurants serving breakfast don't even open until 10 or 11am.

Sibiu
Located in the mid-west of the country, Sibiu is in Transylvania with a view of the magnificent Southern Carpathian Mountains. The town has a strong Germanic influence and a romantic Old Europe charm.
It is tourist friendly. You'll hear a blend of Romanian, German, Hungarian, and English being spoken around the city. Great for a day trip as you explore Romania, a long weekend visit, or stay a few days more!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Amy Is Going Places
Available for hire
US native. Former resident of Romania. Current solo female globe trotter.
I've ventured to more than a dozen countries across four continents as part of group tours, volunteer work, solo travel, studying abroad, and teaching internationally. I lived for over a year in Romania, many years in Tennessee, and several months in England.
My travel style is slow, spontaneous, and - shall we say - richly flavorful. I prefer to stay longer lengths in places instead of having a whirlwind sightseeing venture. I'll skip the chain restaurants for a hole-in-the-wall café any day of the week. I prefer a loose itinerary and remain open to what each day brings.
My favorite things to do and see as I travel are...
- EAT -
Try whatever is local. Order the special of the day. Talk with the restaurant staff.
- WALK -
It encourages me to slow down, notice, and get a feel for community.
- HIKE -
I'm a lazy hiker. By "hike," I mean a few hours at a slow pace.
- MUSEUMS -
Spend an afternoon. Read the descriptions on exhibits. Talk with the docents. Buy something in the giftshop.
- CHURCHES -
I'm fascinated by the various ways people have worshipped the God of the Bible over centuries and across borders. Many older churches are also museums or tourist-friendly spaces. Some additionally hold regular liturgical services.
- CASTLES -
Castles, fortresses, palaces, big ol' houses: these places transport me back in time. I imagine the people who built, lived in, and defended them. What would they think of how we now live?
