Dating from 13th century and made from stone, this is a church about I learned in highschool history class, so it was on my bucket list. It is a calm and serene place and it is called St. Nicholas church. It is situated in Densus village and the road to it is very beautiful also. I arrived after 18:00 and I found the church closed, I could'nt get inside, and also we two were the only one in the church's court (which is a graveyard)...spooky :))

This is a place you need to see. The capital of Dacia, it was an important spiritual center. Here you can even see the first paved road, many temple ruins and sacrificial tables.

When you go to Romania, one of the main things you want to see are their castles. We visited three of their castles, and Hunedoara Castle or also called Corvin Castle was by far the best of the three. (See my other reviews of the other two, Dracula's Castle (Bran Castle) and Peles Castle.) Welcome to Transylvania! Corvin Castle starts out wonderfully exciting with your first glimpse of the outside of this great Medieval Castle with all of the bells and whistles one would describe of it's architecture and stonework. Before you go inside, take a great picture with the Castle behind you. I just loved roaming around every space here, large and small, up and down, everywhere we looked, was an interesting adventure. It really is a great example of what you want to see when you explore a Medieval Castle. We really took some great pictures. Some of the spots are a little difficult with the lighting, but we managed anyway. Don't miss this one, you will love it.

A must see in Petrosani, right next to Cheile Banitei (check my review on that place too!). The entrance fee is cheap and worth 100% -> it is well taken care of, with some nice picture spots and the fact that a river flows through it is definitely a plus! Go for it!

Been here with family on a warm summer day , it was a short walk from the parking to the waterfall but it was oh so worth it - there are a few benches there to sit and relax next to the waterfall if you want - it wasn’t as busy as expected but guess it was Wednesday and some people had work to go to - I think it was stunning and loved that it was so tall and clear as well - definitely recommend this place if you’re nearby

Must do while in Deva! An old citadell build on a volcanic hill, which gives you a great overview on the city. Very nice rehabilitation works which struggle to introduce this objective into the great league of tourism. Interesting view, nice place for a sunset, beautiful place to go downhill with a bike.

Having a fresh juice or eating lunch by this lake at its numerous restaurants after a hot summer day or renting a boat/kayak to explore its surface are some of the best things to do at this lake! Surrounded by forests, this is a place to chill for a couple of days!

Reviewed By Avrigeanu - Bucharest, Romania
Hidden in the hills of Hateg county, Prislop monastery is one of the dearest places to Romanians. It is usually crowded as people come for pilgrimage to prey at the grave of Arsenie Boca who was a huge personality of the Romanian Orthodox Church. He was also an artist who painted parts of the walls of the church of Prislop monastery and other two churches in Romania (Eroilor church in Bucharest and the church in Draganescu village in Giurgiu county, nearby Bucharest). Arsenie Boca designed the plans to rebuild the garden of Prislop and coordinated the related works. He also designed and built the spire in the garden which is amazingly integrated in the natural landscape of the garden.

The enclosure contains ruins from an ancient roman settlement including a forum, temples, markets and other buildings. The entire site is bigger than it seems initially and you should take at least an hour to visit. Mostly only the outlines of the structures walls remain and some parts of the columns, however they help give a good picture about the scope of the place.
