Romania gets a bad rap – with all of the stereotypes about gypsies, vampires and corruption, many people think Romania may not be worth traveling to. Not so; after two Bored Panda team members traveled to Romania, they realized that the country has some amazing breath-taking sights worthy of any bucket list.
Owing to its rich medieval history, Romania is positively saturated with beautiful castles in various states of repair. The country also has a huge amount of undisturbed forest (and the largest population of brown bears in Europe), making it a great destination for nature lovers. With the Carpathian mountains running through the center of the country, the combination makes for some unforgettably memorable views.
