Popular cities and resorts
Bucharest
Romania's capital, nicknamed "Little Paris" for its wide boulevards and elegant belle epoque architecture. The Palace of the Parliament — the world's second-largest administrative building, the Old Town with churches and bars, Herăstrău Park, and the open-air Village Museum. Flights from Almaty arrive at Bucharest airport.
Brașov
One of Romania's most beautiful cities at the foot of the Carpathians. The main square with the Gothic Black Church, Rope Street — only 1.3 meters wide — and views from Mount Tâmpa. Brașov is the ideal base for trips to Bran Castle and Râșnov Citadel.
Sibiu
The cultural capital of Transylvania with German architecture, three picturesque squares, and the famous "houses with eyes" — attic windows resembling watching eyes. Sibiu was a European Capital of Culture and ranks among the continent's most beautiful cities.
Transylvania
The legendary region in the heart of Romania, surrounded by the Carpathians. Medieval Saxon villages, fortified churches, pastoral valleys, and the aura of mystery linked to Vlad the Impaler — the historical prototype of Dracula. Transylvania is a dream for travelers from Almaty seeking real discoveries.
When to go
The best time to visit Romania is from May to October. In summer +25...+32 °C, perfect for mountain hikes and castle tours. September-October brings the golden Carpathian autumn with stunning colors. In winter, the Poiana Brașov and Sinaia ski resorts open. The flight from Almaty to Bucharest takes about 8 hours with a connection in Istanbul or European hubs.
