We, a family of 5, had a very nice stay in Romania, we visited 5 regions in 20 days. We saw bears on the Transfagarasan road, we made a couple of walks, saw a number of castles and spent some time in nice cities, such as Brasov, Bucharest, Sighisoara and Sibiu. We really liked the areas around Sighetu Marmatiei and Campulung Moldovonesc.

Driving in romania is a little hairy but as long as you stay calm and watch the road you'll be ok. August was very busy in most areas because of Romanians hoildaying. We enjoyed driving in rural Romania especially the mountains!
