Romania may still have some work to do when it comes to promoting its tourism potential, but even so, many have been coming here to discover the country’s wilderness, remote villages, famous buildings or delicious food. Among them, foreign travel vloggers with lots of followers online. And, as seeing a destination through the lens of other travel enthusiasts can be quite fun, we’ve made a selection to inspire you for your next travel to Romania.
A young Australian family has been travelling around the world since 2015, sharing their adventures online under the name Flying the Nest. And their YouTube channel, with around 1.1 million subscribers, has grown to become one of Australia’s most subscribed travel channels.
They’ve also lived the Romanian experience about two years ago, exploring both well-known and hidden gems, tasting the food, and discovering local traditions. In the video below, for example, they tried authentic Romanian food such as papanasi or ciorba de burta and visited the Rosia Montana mining landscape, the hidden mountain retreat called Raven’s Nest, and the spectacular underground world of Turda Salt Mine.

Famous food vlogger Mark Wiens also visited Romania in the fall of 2019, trying traditional (and less traditional) Romanian dishes in cities like Brasov, Sibiu and Bucharest, or the unforgettable Danube Delta. In the video below, which was Wiens’ first in Romania, the vlogger started off with a lunch in downtown Brasov, then continued with Transylvanian truffles and a wild stew dinner before ending the adventure with an e-bike ride up the ski slope and a Romanian mountain breakfast.
Currently based in Thailand, Mark Wiens was born in the US. He travels around the world to find and try delicious food and share his discoveries online. His YouTube channel has gathered more than 8.3 million subscribers so far. More of his videos from Romania can be found here.
