Romania has a variety of things to do, so it depends on what you like! There are large cities like Cluj, Timisoara, Iasi, Brasov and Bucharest to explore. It is situated in the Carpathian mountains which means that you can hike, ski, ice climb and pursue other outdoor activities. If you like the seaside, there are beaches on the Black Sea. If castles are more your thing, there are a number of them - my favorite is Hunedoara castle. There are a number of historical sites, like pre-Roman ruins at Sarmizegetusa and monasteries, most notably in the eastern Moldavia region.
