Coast of Romania - Beaches and resorts

The Romanian seaside is a jewel with which Romania boasts. There are many resorts on the Black Sea coast in Romania, some very popular and some less well known. All, however, offers you the possibility of a relaxing stay with all the amenities you may need. Among the most popular holiday resorts on the Romanian seaside are:

The holiday season starts here from the middle of May and ends at the end of September, when the average temperatures during the day are between 25 and 35 degrees Celsius. It is a resort that has grown strongly in recent years, attracting thousands of foreign tourists every summer.

Mangalia is the southernmost resort on the Romanian Black Sea coast. It is one of the few places in Romania where the temperature recorded in winter is maintained at zero degrees Celsius.

Vacations in Vama Veche

Vama Veche is south of Mangalia and is a bohemian resort of artists, actors, singers and dancers. We all come here in summer to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of this relatively isolated place.

Food in Romania

Romanian food is varied and full of flavor. From light meals, such as tomato salad to pork, a dish that is often consumed in the winter, the gastronomy of Romania boasts everything. The Romanian cuisine is a varied mix of different dishes, with recipes adapted to the cuisine of other nearby Balkan countries, including Serbian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian and Turkish cuisine.

Unmistakable from the home of any Romanian is the soup. A sour soup, some would say, of various kinds, among which the most famous are bean, chicken, belly, calf, fish, etc. They are acrylic vinegar or borscht (traditionally made of bran). Romanian recipes have the same influences as the rest of Romania's culture. From the Turks they borrowed the meatballs (beetles), from the Greeks took the muscat (in their own style, replacing the potato brute), the schnitzel comes from the Austrians and the list can continue with ease. Many Romanian cuisine comes from the Balkan region and Eastern Europe (including Moldova and Ukraine). Others are original. Among the most common is the mămăliga (pollen precursor) that eats alone, with cheese (bulz) or with fish brine. It's a delight.

Culture in Romania

The culture of Romania is unique. It is the product of its geography and historical evolution. Romania is in Southeast Europe and borders with Bulgaria (608 km), Hungary (443 km), Moldova (450 km), Serbia and Montenegro (476 km), Ukraine (362 km) and Ukraine (169 km) . The capital of the country is Bucharest, and the official language is Romanian, spoken by about 89% of the population. The Hungarian language is spoken by about 7% of the population, mainly in Transylvania, and about 1.5% of the national population also speaks German.

Urbanism, architecture and space use

Bucharest is the capital city and the largest city. It is the place where you can still admire the ancient architecture of many churches from the 17th-18th centuries and a university dating back to 1864. Between the two world wars, Bucharest was considered a cultural center called "Paris of the East". Later, however, his character became more industrial and commercial. However, there are still cultural attractions, including the National Museum of Art, theaters and a national opera, alongside the largest university in the country.

Other major cities in Romania include Brasov, Constanţa, a Black Sea port; Cluj-Napoca, located in the center of Transylvania; and Timisoara in the Eastern Banat region. Traditional houses are seen from a distance, with red tile roofs, corrugated board or wooden shingles. In Moldova and Wallachia, most homes are white, and in Transylvania you will find houses in different colors.

Labels

Romanians are known for their hospitality and generosity. They are accustomed to offering their guests abundant food and traditional drink. They pride themselves on their culture and the simple but beautiful way of life. Men show their respect to a woman raising her hat and bowing her head slightly in front of her, then kissing her hand. She usually gets up from the chair to give her the seat. It is also customary to give in to the elderly.
