Authentic Romania – 4000 years of history

“It’s the timelessness of it which is so remarkable, almost out of some of those stories one used to read as a child.”,  Charles, Prince of Wales. This is Authentic Romania.

Ask a Romanian which knows the Romanian history and has travelled a bit around the country about authentic Romania. Their mind will be full of ideas and a big smile will soon appear on their face.

Romania has such a vast culture with so many influences and differences between regions that it is quite difficult to synthesize this one thing that could become representative.

At Pure Romania we imagine a tour which gathers a collection of elements having the power to speak about Authentic Romania. This trip back in time and forward through the magical Romania will carry you in many fairy tales places : Horezu Monastery, Targu Jiu, the city of Constantin Brancusi, the sculptor, Hobita , the birthplace of this great Romanian sculptor, Tismana, the old and pure Monastery from West Wallachia, the ancient Dacian fortress and the ones of the Roman Empire, the Corvin Castle, a beautiful landmark of the Medieval Ages, the Fortress of Deva, The Gold Museum of Brad, the mountain resorts Stana de Vale and Ariesieni, the Bear Cave, city of Alba Iulia, Castle of Calnic, listes UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Transalpina (”the road from the sky”, that passes the Carpathians at the highest altitude in the country), Cozia Monastery, city of Curtea de Arges, the first capital of Wallachia, Dracula Fortress and the capital, Bucharest.

This trip through Authentic Romania showing a 4000 years’ history and plenty of fairy tale places truly has the power to inspire.
