Romania Family Holidays

When you think of a Romania family holiday, you’re more likely to conjure up ideas of tracking down Dracula in Transylvania than rolling green hills, ancient castles and medieval towns. But that's exactly what you'll find in one of Europe's hidden gems, home to some of the most breath-taking scenery and fascinating history that dates back thousands of years, all the way to the Roman Empire. The capital city, Bucharest, is a vibrant metropolis that has been shaped by its colourful past, with palaces, churches and monasteries dotted around the city centre. In the western part of Romania, you'll find Transylvania, which has an almost fairy-tale landscape of rolling hills and deep forests that are bordered by towering mountains and deep valleys in the north. Keep your eyes peeled as you hike through the magical forests, and you might just come across a wild bear or two.

Romania Family Holidays Guide

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday

Romania family holidays are a chance to experience thrilling adventures, unspoilt landscapes and charming villages. Whether you're looking for a relaxing break or an action-packed holiday, there will be plenty to keep everyone entertained.


Transylvania is a region of Romania known for its beautiful landscapes, medieval towns and the birthplace of the blood-thirsty vampire, Count Dracula. Travel to the Painted Monasteries in Bucovina, which are among the most picturesque treasures of Romania decorated with elaborate 15th and 16th-century frescoes. Pass by many castles in the Transylvanian countryside, such as Bran Castle, which was used as inspiration for Dracula’s castle – a great place for children to try on their vampire teeth and cloak.


The Danube Delta is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the largest river delta in Europe. Within its pristine waters live over 2,000 different bird species – many of which you can see while canoeing or hiking through nature trails. Visit during the summer months, when the migratory birds soar through the skies, for an unforgettable experience of this natural wonder.


Maramures is famous for its wooden churches and traditional costumes, as well as being home to three national parks – Muncel, Semenic and Iezer Mountains National Parks. Hike trails through these stunning national parks in pursuit of the area's wild bears, lynx or wolves – all from a camouflaged hide.


Romania is the ninth largest wine producer in the world, and so once the children are in bed, you’ll find plenty of wine to sample after a long day exploring on a Romania family holiday. For a real taste of Romanian culture, head to the nation's bustling capital city, Bucharest, where you can sample traditional dishes like mamaliga (polenta) or ciorba de burta (tripe soup).
