The winter holidays are over and we take a break from… breaks to work. From January until the summer (with the short exception of the Easter season), tourism goes through a not so very popular time, called “low season”. Many people travel around holidays and bank days, but of late, Romanians have started to appropriate a valuable lesson from their counterparts abroad: it is more efficient and cheap to travel outside the high season.
Therefore, if you wish to travel smart, join us as we discover New destinations to visit in Romania
Summer has its advantages, granted: good weather, no excessive rain, open tourist attractions; but this does not mean one can’t travel in winter! There are many people who practice winter sports and travel to Prahova (Sinaia, Predeal), Brasov (in Poiana), but also Maramures, Harghita, Suceava to visit the slopes and enjoy skiing, sledging and cablecars.
There are also lots of objectives that deserve to be visited anytime. For instance, did you know that only 3 km away from Covasna, there is a legendary citadel where, according to the locals, a mythical character used to live? The Castle of Ileana Cosanzeana (or Cetatea Miske) will seduce you with its mystery and that of the forest that surrounds it.
In Salaj County, in Jibou City, you are invited to visit a beautiful botanical garden, while in Hunedoara you simply must visit the Castle of Corvin, which is visited by 70.000 tourists annually.
The resort Cheia in Prahova can be visited all year round, highly esteemed for its fresh air and treatments. And if you wish to go in search of truffles in the fluffy snow, you can choose to spend a few days in Transylvania, on Valea Verde.
The car rental services are also affordable during winter, so you have yet another reason to go on holiday, despite the cold weather outside.
