HOW DID ROMANIA CHANGE THE WORLD?

The Dracula's country (this is the symbol we are known mostly worldwide) has more to offer than you ever could have imagined.

We has as neighbors the Republic of Moldova, Serbia, Hungary, Ukraine and Bulgaria.  Usually, you have no reasons to get out of the country when is about travelling: we have the Black Sea on the East mountains on the middle and the North of the country, fields on the West. The medieval cities kept their structure (like Brasov, Sighisoara, Sibiu, which is an amazing one). 

In 2007, Sibiu was the European Capital of Culture and for 2019 wants to be the European Region of Gastronomy.

But the question is, what do you think of when you say ''Romania''? Before you answer, here are some details not all people know:
