All across Romania, on Saturday evening and the following night, the NIGHT OF MUSEUMS takes place.

A variety of events (pictures: Feldioara / Marienburg, Corvin / Hunedoara), open museums and cultural institutions (mostly free of charge) until late at night. Be there!!!!

PS: Some places (like Hunedoara) start the events already on Friday. However, the Night of Museums takes place on Saturday evening, as this day is closest to International Museum Day on May 18.

Follow the traces of the Historic Cafés Route / coffee houses of Europe or, in this case, a selection from Romania. Stay, enjoy, and at the same time visit many other destinations / sights in the immediate vicinity.

A holiday, a round trip through Transylvania and neighbouring regions in Romania.

We would like to thank Mr Daniel Sippel for sending us these wonderful impressions of his trip.

As every year, on May 17th the Night of Museums takes place throughout all of Romania (here the announcement for Corvin Castle, Hunedoara County, for 2025).

Almost all museums, many galleries, and more across the country are open on this Saturday, May 17th, until midnight and sometimes even later. Admission is free and there are also many additional events and activities. A wonderful experience.

Looking back at previous years with beautiful pictures from the Night of Museums 2023 at Corvin Castle / Hunedoara. We thank Go Hunedoara for allowing us to use these pictures.

Romania is rich in history and therefore ... just as rich in the corresponding buildings and many stories.

There are still 180 fortified churches in Transylvania alone, as well as fortresses, castles, many fortresses and ruins in large numbers.

"Romania, Day 10 – Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve. ❤️

Getting up early was worth it. 🙂 The sunrise boat tour was WOW. 😎

Today is a lazy day at the campsite, a bit of laundry, tomorrow we move on. A few pictures from the enchanting Danube Delta, I could share many more. It's almost hard to believe that just 25 km away, last week, there were drone attacks on a Ukrainian port. 🧐 But we feel very safe here. 👍"

Thanks to Gerhard and Daniela Zitzmann for the pictures and text.

As soon as the Transfăgărășan reopens in mid/late June, but even earlier in many other regions, you will encounter them again... the brown bears.

First, our BIG REQUEST:
DO NOT FEED THE BEARS!!
DO NOT ATTRACT THE BEARS!!
BEARS are wild animals of the forest and not "attractions"—please respect this during your trip and when encountering one or more bears! Enjoy the moment, but stay in your car and simply drive on slowly.

In Romania, there are about 8,000 to 10,000 wild brown bears, and more and more bears are drawn to roads and towns because, unfortunately, some drivers/travelers feed them, so the bears—especially with their young—keep returning to the roadsides.

We understand, it is a special experience... but bears can also be very dangerous, especially a mother bear with her cute cubs. Mothers know: with children, the fun ends quickly and things can become dangerous very fast. So once again... PLEASE SHOW RESPONSIBILITY AND RESPECT for these animals.

By attracting or feeding the bears, you destroy their natural way of life... for a moment of attraction. Therefore, please let the bears... be bears... do not feed them and do not stop if you see one or more bears at the roadside. This behavior attracts the bears, as they expect to get food. Leaving your vehicle to get closer to a bear should NEVER happen. Thank you!

Places, sites, and lots of nature you shouldn't miss in 2025. Beautiful pictures of wonderful travel destinations in Romania.
