I visited Romania in 2018 for a friend’s wedding. This involved about a week in Transylvania, and then I went down to Bucharest (5/10) for a few days.

Romanian Cities

• Bucharest – 5/10 (2018)
• Brașov – 4/10 (2018)
• Ploiești – 3/10 (2018)
• Râșnov – 3/10 (2018)
• Transylvania – 9/10 (2018)

Broadly enjoyable, though I prefer Serbia in the Balkans. It’s much more prosperous than in the recent past although one still saw signs of backwardness (cattle grazing within the suburbs, overstaffing, etc.). I do like how Romanians include hot peppers with their food.

I wrote an extensive (overly long) blog post about this trip here.
