There are literally thousands of churches in Romania, some sources mention 18.000 as a somewhat accurate number. Add to this a serious number of monasteries and castles and we have plenty of sites to visit. Below a few examples in the area, mostly based on Wikipedia, TripAdvisor and other sites.
Some fantastic places are not mentioned here; they are a bit far away and are easily found on Tourist Information sites. If you are interested, please consider Peles Castle, Sinaia Monastery and Bran Castle which could all be visited in a 2 day trip.
