Romanian Food
Let’s face it, nobody travels to Romania for the food. As with much of the Balkans the vast majority of what’s on offer is a localised - yet often vastly improved - version of Turkish cuisine, with Hungarian and Germanic influences clearly discernable in Transylvania.... -
The Transfagarasan Highway
Some 40km east of Sibiu, the DN7C, also known as the Transfagarasan Highway, branches off the road to Brasov, heading straight for the towering Fagaras Mountain range.... -
Romanians You Should Know: Phoenix
At the top of any list of Romanian rock bands must be Phoenix (also known as Transsylvania Phoenix), a band with an overwhelming history befitting its name, having risen from the ashes of the communist regime, then enduring constant instability caused by its members forever coming and going before finally being consumed in a massive discharge of ego.... -
Romanians You Should Know: Mihai Eminescu
Born Mihail Eminovici in Botosani (then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire) in 1850, Mihai Eminescu is widely regarded as Romania’s finest romantic writer, and is recognized as both Romania and Moldova’s national poet.... -

Romania In Your Pocket
In Your Pocket is the complete insider's guide to Romania.
Well, bits of it at least.
Romania is where the Western world ends, and where the Slavic East begins. The last territory to be incorporated in to the Roman Empire, when Rome comprehended the fairest part of the Earth, and the most civilised portion of mankind, and the first to be abandoned to its Barbarian fate. Two thousand years on Romania has finally rejoined the civilised world, or the European Union at least: another Empire born of (a Treaty of) Rome.
For the traveller Romania offers many things. The opportunity to see genuinely wonderful places, to meet wonderful people, to experience the last frontier-land in Europe.
In Your Pocket has online and print guides to a multitude of cities in this endlessly fascinating country, not least of all the capital Bucharest.
But Romania is a whole lot more than the capital: Brasov and Poiana Brasov both have much to offer, as does Sibiu, where we have just launched our latest guide. Enjoy.

Festival 39
Sehr gutes Lokal mit einem tollen Ambiente. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet....Kunnai
We have noticed that IYP does not list other THAI restaurants, e.g. the one that all Embassy staff go to, which is the SIAM? Eating is about FOOD, and NOT furniture & trimmings....Barbero
wonderful day!...Tourist Information Centre
Lukazs: No the Transfagarasan is unlikely to open (in its entirety) until late June....Tourist Information Centre
Hi,Is Transfăgără an road open now? I mean I will drive form Curtea de Arges to Cartisoara by 7C road....Fratelli
This is the worst club in Bucharest....the service is non existent and when you ask for a drink you are lucky if you get it....Casa Poporului
It is a beautiful building, indeed. Unfortunately they needed to destroy a part of the city to build it, and it took thousands of workers years of hard labor to construct it....Red Angus Steakhouse
I've went to the restaurant from the City Center wanting to eat a hamburger similar to the ones that i ate in the USA....La Bonne Bouche
A terrific restaurant, and perhaps the best food in Lipscani. The overall atmosphere is both upbeat and relaxed, service is very good, and everyone was impressed with the quality of the food....Barrio by Embassy
On the whole a disappointing restaurant. The decor is great and service is reasonably attentive, but the food need serious attention....National Museum of Contemporary Art
I think it was a great disappointment. There were only 35 works in the permanent collection. Poorly lighted....VIP Obsession Saloon
I had massage at my hotel 3 weeks ago. 350ron for 1h. Just perfect but with 350 you can get much more in Romania....Locanta Jaristea
I am just wondering about all the positive comments, that were submitted in exactly one per month frequency from April to November 2012....Charter
Nice hotel, pretty close to the airport, offering a free transfer to and from the airport. The room that we had was very spacious, and the staff were very helpful and friendly....Mojo
Best karaoke night out in Bucharest by a mile. Reserve a table though cause it is always full...
