Mouth-pleasing local gastronomy and breathtaking scenery worth seeing

Mouth-pleasing local gastronomy and breathtaking scenery worth seeing

Local gastronomy is based on homegrown and homemade products. If you are a foodie, you are bound to enjoy Romanian cuisine! If you were to understand what a Romanian typically likes to eat, you would need to think of the taste of hot bread from the oven, with a piece of smoked bacon and an onion, washed down later with a glass of palinca (home made plum brandy).
