🌍✨ Romania Tops Vogue's "10 Best Places to Travel in 2025"! ✨🌍

We’re thrilled to see Romania shine on the world stage once again, this time claiming the #1 spot in Vogue’s prestigious list of must-visit destinations for 2025! 🎉 After being recognized by National Geographic and Lonely Planet earlier this year, Romania continues to capture the hearts of travellers worldwide.

💬 Here’s what Vogue had to say:
"Romania is stepping out of the shadow of its tumultuous 20th-century history... It’s a rare country that truly has it all—from the buzzing arts scene in Cluj-Napoca to awe-inspiring hikes in the Carpathian Mountains, from Black Sea beaches to the world-class museums of Bucharest."

Happy National Day, Romania! 🇷🇴

On this significant day, December 1st, we commemorate the Great Union of 1918—a monumental achievement where Romania's historical provinces were reunited. This was a centuries-old dream, realized through the immense sacrifice and patriotism of millions who fought for our nation's unity.

Today, in 2024, we enjoy the freedoms of democracy and have the opportunity to support our country in our own unique ways. At Rolandia, we believe that the best way to show our love for Romania is by presenting and promoting our beautiful country to the world.

By sharing Romania's rich culture, vibrant history, and breathtaking landscapes internationally, we aim to contribute to a brighter image of our nation on the global stage.

Let's all find our own paths to honor and support Romania, building on the legacy of those who came before us.

La mulți ani, România! 🎉

🌟 A Special Review from a True Expert 🌟

At Rolandia, we are incredibly grateful for all the reviews we receive, but every once in a while, a review stands out in a unique way. Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting a guest who is not only a passionate traveller but also an expert in Byzantine history and art. The experience they had while exploring the UNESCO Painted Monasteries in Bucovina was particularly meaningful, thanks to our amazing guide, Florin.

With a degree in History and over a decade of guiding experience, Florin's in-depth knowledge of Byzantine art and the region made this tour exceptional. His expertise truly shone, helping our guests connect with one of the most intricate areas of Romanian culture and history.

"I have wanted to visit the painted monasteries of Bucovina for 40 years. Florian proved to be a knowledgeable guide, willing to make accommodations to my special interests and full of excellent historical background. During the long drives we talked about all sorts of topics and his insights helped me really get a grasp on Romania past and present. As for the sights, autumn was the perfect time to enjoy the natural beauty. The monasteries are lovingly tended by nuns and the grounds offered a peaceful environment. I was reluctant to leave each one. Our accommodations were comfortable and beautiful with excellent cuisine and sincere hospitality."
