Romania. You’ve probably heard about it, maybe you’ve visited it. Perhaps you’re Romanian yourself. Whatever may be the case, this guide will be useful to you as a one-stop introduction to this unique and beautiful land and its people. At Romania.net, you can find out about Romanian history, Communist Romania, the diverse and fast-growing Romanian economy, and the Romanian media. While there are many websites out there that promote Romanian tourism and offer some good deals for visiting the country, this site is unique in that it gives you an opportunity to learn the essentials of the history of Romania and the Romanian people, Romanian culture, the dark episode of Romanian Communism under Nicolae Ceausescu, and the more recent history of today’s post-Communist Romania, the modern Romanian economy, and the newly free press in Romania.

For example, many people know that Romanian is a Romance language, but not too many are familiar with the formation of the Romanian people, the wars between Dacia and the Roman Empire, or the occupation of Dacia as a Roman province, which laid the groundwork for the establishment of Romanians as a people with a unique language. Similarly, many may not be aware of the interesting and exciting history of Wallachia and Moldova, the two “original” constitutive regions of Romania. Add to that Transylvania, the gorgeous land in the Carpathian basin, notable for so much more than the stereotypical Dracula image which so many people associate with it!

And if you’ve never been to Romania, now is the time to plan the vacation of your dreams in a country that offers everything you could want: the beautiful Carpathian mountains, the Black Sea, medieval-style villages and cutting-edge, modern amenities as well.
