Transylvania

It was not at all easy for the stars to align, but somehow we succeeded, because after two failed attempts, we arrived in Maramureș, a top region unanimously recognized as one of the best places to visit in Romania. I propose here the 2-day itinerary in Maramures we covered, but also our gastronomic experiences.

Last week of summer vacation, I had the bright idea of taking my kids some place to relax before the whirl of the schoolyear. So, I considered Cluj Romania might be a good option, as it has a lot to offer and there are plenty of amazing places just few km away.

Future capital of culture in 2023, Timişoara has it all: major city in the country, lots of beautiful buildings and squares packed with cafés, vibrant nightlife, delicious and fancy food, good and cheap beer, English-speaking people plus friendly locals, many parks, good accommodation places, and last but not least, the city that started the anti-communist revolution against dictator Ceausescu.

For a start, I will give you the facts: I was roaming in Oradea with my teenage daughters, when a dark cloud suddenly decided to take it out on us… you know how teenagers are…. hard to please… but I needed to do something, and that had to be done quick. Given that we were in the very vicinity of Darvas-La Roche House and it was raining cats and dogs, I dragged them inside with a trembling heart.

Expect to find a romantic and peaceful city, a city of palaces that will catch your eyes and leave you speechless! It is Romania’s capital of Art Nouveau! It is a matter of time (short!) until Oradea gets the well-deserved attention. Make sure you plan your visit ahead!
