    Because we are so proud that Romania was nominated the new destination in 2016

    Transylvania is Lonely Planet’s top vacation destination for 2016
    Lonely Planet
    Travel Publisher

    On October 29 Lonely Planet will publish its “Best of 2016”, a compilation of travel destinations that will attract a lot of attention next year. Ten regions will gain in popularity, starting with Transylvania in Romania, where the city of Cluj-Napoca is looking forward to meeting art fans and its Airbnb hosts are waiting for reservations.

    Based on the criteria of special events, ongoing buzz, value for money and that extra something that is wholly subjective and inexplicable, this Australian/British guide has named the coolest travel destinations for 2016, for which reservations will have to be made soon before hordes of tourists arrive.

    Clear blue waters and sublime beaches are not necessarily in fashion now. The hottest destination is in Europe, in the Romanian region of Transylvania, where adventurers can meet up with free-roaming wolves and bears and become vampire hunters in Brasov. “Transylvania is experiencing a renaissance,” outlines Lonely Planet. As a matter of fact, Uber, the mobile app which connects you with a driver, has recently opened an office in Bucharest.

    Italy is expected to make its mark with the Friuli wine region, which is currently somewhat overshadowed by its neighbor, the Veneto region. Lonely Planet notes that “[t]he word may be out, but this is still a very little visited destination, even by other Italians.”

    France also has a place in this top ten with an unexpected representative in the form of Auvergne. The travel specialist sees the region as a little-known treasure, elaborating that “[i]ts glacier-carved valleys and volcanic peaks are more reminiscent of Iceland than the heart of France, but somehow it has long been overlooked for being too peaceably rural. But that’s all changing, as French travellers weary of tourist-clogged rivieras seek escape” in Auvergne which “has responded by reinventing itself with ambitious art projects and a portfolio of wilderness adventures, without ever losing its small-town charisma.”

    Romania tops travel destination ranking by Norwegian globetrotter

    Romania ranks first in the top 12 countries worth visiting by anyone once in a lifetime. The top was made by Norwegian Gunnar Garfors, who travelled all around the world before turning 37.

    Gunnar Garfors visited all 198 countries in the world by the time he turned 37. So when people ask him which country was his favorite, he has a hard time picking just one. But there are 12 countries he thinks everyone should visit at some point in their lives, reads a Business Insider feature.

    Now aged 40, Garfors chose Romania as the first travel destination worth visiting. “Transylvania, best known for its castles, mountains, and, of course, Dracula, will stun you. Not to forget the parties in the capital, Bucharest. And Romanians even know how to make great beer,” he argued his choice.

    The ranking further included Madagascar, Iceland, Vietnam, Kyrgyzstan, Kiribati, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Sierra Leone, Dominica, Norway and Uruguay.

    Because you can find here the unique places, you feel like experiencing something new, you may take a journey into the past.

    As one of the most beautiful countries in Eastern Europe, Romania attracts millions of tourists each year with its scenic landscapes, unique culture and historically significant landmarks. there are so many beautiful reasons to visit Romania. Whether you’re looking for soaring mountains to climb, warm waters to bathe in, forests to explore or plains to run across, Romania has it all.

    Furthermore, since this country is rich in history, Romania boasts some of the most amazing castles and forts that were built hundreds of years ago. We will now present a list containing 12 of the most incredible places to visit in Romania. All you have to do is pick the ones that you like best and head over to this wonderful and picturesque country.

    Because sometimes is less expensive to spend your holiday in Romania than live for 1 week in your country.

    Cheaper even than the Czech Republic and Hungary, Romania should be attractive just because of its price tag. Everything from accommodation to transport to food is affordable. Even the “touristy” places are far from expensive.

    For example, in Brasov — one of Romania’s top tourist destinations for both domestic and foreign tourists — entry to the major attraction (Bran Castle) was only $7 USD for an adult ticket with photo license. The most expensive meal I had in the country (at a really posh restaurant) was $12 — the cheapest was less than $3. You can only imagine how cheap beer was.

    If you’re looking for the European cafe culture in summer or want to stay in a nice historic village after a day of skiing in the winter, this is where you can do both on a fraction of what you would spend further west.

    Overall, Romania is a good deal for backpackers, a fantastic deal for mid-range travelers on vacation. A backpacking couple could get by on $40 or $50 a day, but a couple spending $100 to $200 a day in Romania will really be living large. Hotels are often priced in dollars or euros, but anything else you spend money on is not
