Hi everyone, I’m 29 and from Singapore, planning a trip to Romania from mid July to August for about 4 days and 3 nights.
This is my first time flying to a European country, and I’m a bit unsure about where to go, what to eat, and what to see. I looked online and found some affordable places close to the national park.
Just to clarify, I’m brown Asian, and I have this concern that others might think I’m a gypsy there.
No one will mistake you for a local. You won’t resemble the Roma at all.
Just stick to tourist activities and research the city you’re visiting.
The food is fantastic.
I really enjoyed Romania.

What should I eat or visit? I saw some affordable spots near the national park.

Which city will you be in?

I plan to visit Bucharest over the weekend before heading to another European country. I’ll be staying near the national park and want to know about places to see and eat.
@Corey
Hey! Since you’ll be near the national park, you should try Beraria H, a large beer garden with great Romanian cuisine, right by the park. For a quick local meal, go for the mici at Pescarus Restaurant.
Nobody is going to confuse you for anything but a tourist.
You should tell us what you like and where you plan to land in Romania to get better recommendations.

I often find it hard to choose for myself because I want to please others. I take input from others and then decide. I want to know what others enjoy to guide my choices.

You don’t have any interests? Haven’t you enjoyed anything before?
If so, just Google things to do in Romania and pick what sounds good.

Okay
Lol which national park? You should be clearer with your questions. You haven’t stated what you’re interested in. But don’t worry, you won’t be mistaken for a Roma. They look very different from South Asians. I went last year as an Indian and had a great time.
If you’re unsure about the country, do a bit of research. You can fly into Bucharest and visit Transylvania to see the castles like Bran and Peles. Just make sure to look up train schedules.
Also, this question seems a bit insensitive. I met some Roma during my trip, and they were lovely and curious about South Asia.
@Wynn
As I mentioned earlier, I don’t have a specific plan. I’m just visiting for the weekend and want to hear what others enjoyed in Romania. I’d rather follow what others have done than do my own extensive research.
The national park? There are several national parks in Romania, not just one. From what you said, it sounds like you’ll be in Bucharest.
I suggest you Google visiting Bucharest. You’ll find lots of ideas for your trip. Also, check out the fountain show. It runs from May to October three nights a week for 45 minutes and it’s free.
@Wesley
It’s actually called the national park by the national arena in Bucharest. I’ll definitely check out this fountain show!
Look up Bucharest on TripAdvisor.

Thanks for that!
Romania is fantastic! Go to Bucharest for city vibes, then head to Transylvania for places like Brasov and Bran Castle. The food is delicious—try sarmale and mici. National parks are great for hikes. Don’t worry about fitting in; the locals are friendly and focused on the sights!
Take a day trip from Bucharest to Sinaia. Thank me later.
