One of the most beautiful east EU countries, with great food, hardworking people, and idiots in gov who sold the coutry's comodities to self entitled western countries. And No is not catholic but more than 85%Greek Ortodox. THE MOST LATIN AND OLDEST LATIN TERITORY. Budy was no dracula legend happened there. Romania does Not celebrate stupid halloween bs where you celebrate dark entities. Some things you said about tjis superb country ARE NOT TRUE.
Yesterday, we have just returned from our holiday in Romania. And what a beautiful country it is! And so diverse. What we like the most are really the mountains where we spent most of the time. Fagaras mountains, Bucegi national park, Apuseni mountains, we just loved it there. What I like the most about Romania is that it is still not so globalized, unified, and filled with McDonald's and KFC as most of the countries in Europe. Even if it is slowly coming there you can still enjoy the original beautiful country on its own. I must say that Romania definitely belongs to the top perfect destinations I have been to in my life. I really hope I will be able to return soon and explore more of this amazing country.

Did tou visit Salina Turda ? Or The road Transalpina ? If not , you should . Or The place called Sirnea , it is said that it is the most cleanest air from România , towards zero poluttion . Been twice there and i felt it with my own lungs, and the quiet of the evening ia awsome !
I live in Romania and you forgot about the Danube Delta. It's a magical place, a natural reserve worth visiting. And transfagarasan road it's a must too see.
Romania seems like such a stunning and underrated country. I've also met a few Romanians who are just the most wonderful people. I can't wait to visit one day and see it for myself. 🥰
Thank you for promoting my country, and showing the best part of it. It makes me feel so relieved and very proud for being romanian. I'm so glad to see all of the magic that it has to offer and it's really worth it to see it with your own eyes. You did a great job! 👍👏
Wow, great job in highlighting my native country! The high-def quality & production value of this piece really highlights the beauty of our country. BTW, if you visit there again, I highly recommend visiting Sarmizegetusa, the ruins of our ancient Dacian ancestors' capital, located in the beautiful & mysterious Orastie Mountains. It is a sacred place, full of wonder & history, where you can experience a deep sense of connection with the mystical past & unique history of Dacia, which was the old name of Romania. Thank you for your work & wishing you much health!
@@RyanShirley also visit Timisoara. Is a multicultural city, in 2023 it will be the European cultural capital. In Targu Jiu you can also visit the monumental ensemble of C. Brancusi... and near to the city ( 30 km ) , you can start travel on the Transaplina.
@@RyanShirley Hi, also try to get to Maramureș and ride the train called “Mocănița”. Plus the other great road, Transalpina. Thanks for this beautiful video.

@@RyanShirley We LOVED your video! We are experienced travelers looking for our next destination. We find most of Europe a no go zone due to the crowds. We used to love to travel without reservations and just find a hotel when we got to the city we wanted to go. Is that possible in Romania? Maybe not in some destinations but others? I'm curious. Thanks in advance for your kind response.
Hey Ryan, I've been following you for a while now and you can't even comprehend how happy i am that you made a video of my home country. Honestly the quality and effort that you put into this video far surpasses what our incompetent political leaders have ever done to promote our tourism. If our Ministry of Tourism would put out videos even 10% as good as this one about our country i am sure things would change and tourists would flock to visit. Thank you for this, it's really great!
Even without a competent tourism ministry in your country, I still decided to visit Romania. And I was glad I did. Your country is beautiful and I only have seen a small part of it - just Bucharest, Sinaia, Braşov, and a guided tour of the Transfagaraşan!
@@daryldealDo you know if it is advisable to travel without hotel reservations? I am so turned off by the crowds in Europe and have basically taken it off the list. However, if it is possible to be a BIT spontaneous, I am interested in checking out Romania. Any advice?
Man, I'm late for this one - another country I've never seen. The Bram castle looks just right as a spooky place even if Stoker and Vlad never went there.
Oradea, Timisoara, Cluj-Napoca, Craiova, Rimnicu Valcea, Drobeta Turnu Severin, and many more bigger or smaller cities and villages to visit in Romania.
Idk why but I always loved Romania. Maybe its beauty or aesthetics attract me the most. And now I want to go there for my higher study, InshaAllah. It feels more like a fantasy though!
Love your videos. Always watching them to get inspiration for my next place to visit. I visited Romania last month. Although, I was not a fan of the capital Bucharest, the Transylvania region is beautiful and definitely worth a visit! Sibiu was my favourite place for sure !
@@RyanShirley shame I hadn't seen your Romania video before I travelled. Sighisoara looks amazing too but didn't get a chance to visit. The weather was pretty good with sun on most days. Although, the transfagarasan road was closed near the main tunnel due to snow but we did manage to walk through the tunnel with some awesome views on the other side ! Romania is definitely a hidden gem ! p.s just got back from Austria today using your Austria video as inspiration. Keep up the awesome vids !
As a romanian living in Transylvania, we don't like Bucharest either. Our region is the best because of the german and hungarian influences. Visit Cluj-Napoca. While not as big of a city as the capital, the people are way more welcoming
@@mihai3872 Danube Delta is more beautiful and unique than Transylvania, don't kiss german and hungarian asses because they invaded us, they try to erase our history on our lands so please... go to sing to in Germany or Hungary if you love them so much... as others can go to kiss slavs (Russians or Ukrainians who still keep captive our territories taken by Stalin). Traiasca Romania Mare si fara de invadatori!
Romania is a seriously beautiful, highly underrated country in the Balkans. Its natural beauty, friendly people, affordability, and high-quality internet speeds make it an excellent option for moving to Europe - particularly for Digital Nomads or remote workers.
First time viewing your channel, as I am going to Romania in June. Beautiful clip, you showed so much in a short time. I have some places to research. Thank you.
@@RyanShirley Flying from Australia to see Turkey, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. In Romania the towns and cities will be Maramures, Sighisoara, Viscri, Brasov and Bucharest.
Thanks for this video, one of the beast video vich I seen about my country! 🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴 Many thanks and I wish to meet you in Romania to be able to show you our cousine!
Will be doing a roadtrip in Romania in October 2024. will be passing by most of these destinantions except for the beach ones (I am from Algarve Portugal so those aren't appealing to me). i will be also visiting the painted churches in the north along with Clug napoca and Timisoara to close a T shape roundtrip visit from Bucharest. Curious also of what kind of typical food and wine to taste.
Dear Ryan, thank you so much for your informations. It really helps a lot. Could I have a little suggestion for you that have the city's name pass more slowly in order to note it. I feel that it goes by too quickly to catch it. Thank you again.
I am from Romania though I live in Austria now and my favorite place is the Danube Delta, especially Sulina. I would definitely recommend that if you travel there again. Also Im originally from Hunedoara, glad the castle made the list ☺️
Thanks Haris! Good question, I have a Sony a7siii, its a little bit expensive. But Sony has some great cameras and you can get a cheap 50mm lens that makes pictures look great.
Great list. I would add Timisoara, Cluj, Oradea and Iasi for amazing city breaks. Cluj and Timisoara are the two biggest cities and economic hubs outside of Bucharest; and there's tonnes of amazing cafes and restaurants; as well as a lot of culture going on. Oradea is in my opinion the prettiest bigger city in Romania (mainly because i'm a sucker for art nouveau).
You should be paid by our Ministry of Tourism for this video. I am Romanian and I’ve watched a lot of YTs promoting 🇷🇴 from 🇷🇴, but the job you did is beyond amazing 😻, next level for sure
@@konarkchauhan397 Hi, if you're interested in winter sports you can go for March, loads to do there. If u prefer the Seaside or Danube Delta you can visit on warmer months, starting from May. Depends a lot on what activities you want to schedule there.
Thankyou for promoting my country of birth Ryan 👏 It's definitely one of Europe's most underrated countries, where culture, scenery and food is unique.. as we say, a Latin island in a sea of Slavs.
@@RyanShirley While this guy is right about our country being underrated, and also about our culture, scenery & food, the part about the "Latin island in the sea of Slavs" is misleading & sadly omitting our unique ancestral Getic & Dacian cultural heritage which he should have mentioned to you. The Romanian people have a somewhat “Latinized” language but other than that our cultural heritage & our genetic ancestry comes from old Dacia, the historic name of Romania. Nice video about my native country, by the way. Well done!
@@ash8207About genetics you have np direct dacian ancestor sorry Ethnically? NOTHING! Your ethnogenesis is not older than the slav ethnogenesis according to your avarage core vlach dna haplogroups. About 28% I2A1B-L621 most common in the Balkans and Ukraine. The latter is where it’s orginiated from. The dominant gene in the slavs. Belongs to the Slavic branch. The principal determining event that allowed I2a1b-L621 to become a major Eastern European lineage was the Slavic migrations from the 6th to the 9th century CE. Most modern Eastern Europeans belonging to I2a1b fit into the L147.2 (aka CTS10228, CTS2180 or Y3111) subclade, which is thought to have arisen 5,600 years ago (just before the Yamna period and the Trypillian expansion into the steppe), but has a TMRCA of only 2,300 years according to Yfull. The minority of I2a1b-L621 individuals negative for L147.2 are all found around eastern Poland, Belarus and western Ukraine, suggesting that this is where this lineage survived since the Chalcolithic. The I2a1b-L147.2 subclade seems to have expanded very fast from 1900 years ago, which is concordant with the timing of the Slavic ethnogenesis, • About 18% R1a-Z280 is a Balto-Slavic marker and R1a-M458 Belongs to the Slavic branch. “The M458 and Z280 lineages spread around Poland, Belarus, Ukraine and western Russia, and would form the core of the Proto-Balto-Slavic culture.” Historically, no other part of Europe was invaded a higher number of times by steppe peoples than the Balkans. Chronologically, the first R1a invaders might have come with the westward expansion of the Sredny Stog culture (from 4200 BCE), which led the way to a succession of steppe migrations that lasted for over 2,000 years until the end of the Yamna culture (3500-2000 BCE). These early invasions from the Steppe were probably conducted in majority by R1b men, accompanied by a small number of R1a. Then came the Thracians (1500 BCE), followed by the Illyrians (around 1200 BCE), and much later the Huns and the Alans (400 CE), the Avars, the Bulgars and the Serbs (all around 600 CE), and the Magyars (900 CE), among others. These peoples originated from different parts of the Eurasian Steppe, anywhere between Eastern Europe and Central Asia, thus contributing to the relatively high diversity of R1a subclades observed in Carpathians and the Balkans today, especially in Bulgaria and Romania. Nevertheless, the vast majority of R1a in Southeast Europe today appears to be of Slavic origin. • About 15% The R1b is complex.The branches R1b-U106, R1b-DF27 and R1b-L21 make up 1% respectively.[77] The eastern branches R1b-M269 and L23 (Z2103) make up 7% and outnumber the Atlantic branches, they prevail in parts of east, central Europe and as a result of Greek colonisation The high frequency of R1b was found in other places in Transylvania - 25% in Maramureș and Harghita, 20% in Mehedinți, 14% in Bihor, 11% in Vrancea, These are counties with the high Hungarian populace. About 10% of these belong to Haplogroup R1b in all counties. “There are a lot of genetically hungarian like in Transylvania.” R1b-U152, the specific Alpino-Italic clade, is represented at 3% among them, the prevailing branches are eastern, except for Brasov where Germanic U106 is most frequent. U106 is also prevalent clade of R1b in Buhuși and Piatra Neamț. • About 14% E1b1b1a most common in the balkans and some hellenistic areas.This is the Thracian group. (Dacian is not Trachian It was Scytho-Pontic) • about 14% J2b1-M205 is most common in the western Balkans (Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia) and Cyprus. It is also found in above 1% of the population in parts of southern Italy (Calabria, Apulia), the Peloponnese in Greece, Lebanon, Jordan, eastern Turkey, Armenia and Iran. The J2 haplogroup is originated in the middle east. Its the illyrian group. About 4% I1 Most common in Scandinavia west. Most likely from the Hungarians 7% mixed other.
