Romania is a country I want to visit, possibly in 2018. Besides being a country with a fascinating history of settlement by Germans in the Middle Ages, invasions by Tatars and ruled by Ottoman Empire until 1877, the country has wilderness and natural spaces. The cost of tourism is among the lowest in Europe with cheap hotels, dining and shopping.
There are 10 Ramada Hotels and 9 Hilton brand hotels in Romania. These two chains provide geographic coverage in many cities across Romania.

Cheap Airfare too.
Low cost carriers Ryanair and Wizz are another traveler benefit for access to airports spread across the country geographically. Air travel is a time saver for non-Europeans without weeks of time to travel since Romania is a sizable country.
Romania is 92,000 square miles, about 75% the size of Poland or 56% the size of California. Romania is larger in size than the combined land mass of its neighbors, Hungary 36,000 sq.mi. to northwest and Bulgaria 43,000 sq.mi. on its southern border. Serbia on the western border is 34,000 sq. mi. Moldova to the northeast and the Black Sea to the east are Romania’s other borders.
