About Romania

Facts about Romania

Let’s be honest here: you lose a great deal if you never visit Romania. I know it might sound like an overstatement, but the country has some of the coolest tourism spots in Europe. For instance:

• In Maramures, in the city of Sapanta, there is a “Merry Cemetery”: the crosses are vividly painted (pun not intended), and each person has a poem written about the way they lived, or how they died. Fun, right?
• The Romanian Palace of Parliament, located in Bucharest, is the second-largest building in the world, next only to the Pentagon in the United States;
• The tallest rock sculpture in Europe, carved next to the Danube River, is a 40 meter (135 feet) tall statue of the Dacian king, Decebal;
• The Voronet Monastery, located in North-eastern Romania, is also known as the “Sistine Chapel of the East”. Its frescoes feature an intense shade of blue, also known as “Voronet blue”;
• The famous British auto show Top Gear shot one of its episodes on the Transfagarasan road, in 2009, naming it “the best road in the world”.

Also, let’s not forget some awesome Romanians people and facts, like:

• Nadia Comaneci, a Romanian Gymnast, was the first person to ever get perfect 10 in the Gymnastics Olympic Games, in 1976.
• Romanians enjoy the fastest internet speeds in the world. According to the Ookla Net Index, nine cities in Romania are among the top 15 cities in the world with the highest download speed of fixed broadband internet connections. I will give you a moment to swallow your bitterness;
• Vlad Tepes (or Vlad the Impaler) inspired one of the best characters in the horror genre - a little fellow named Dracula (ok, maybe not-so-awesome Romanians, but he had solid reasons to kill his enemies and impale them along the road).
