Cities
Romania’s cities are like different countries in miniature: the grand capital Bucharest, Saxon Brașov and Sibiu under the Carpathians, the fairy-tale streets of Sighișoara, lively student Cluj-Napoca, and Timișoara out in the Banat. This section has city guides: what to see, where to eat honestly, how to get there, and where to stay.
Cities are a handy starting point for planning: routes branch out from them, attractions are nearby, and this is where you book accommodation, pick up a car, and sort out connectivity. That’s why in the city guides we link to related sections - food, routes, and rental - to put your whole trip in one place.
