ROMANIA'S HIDDEN GEMS | This is why you should visit Romania!

- Today we are exploring some of Romania's hidden gems! Join us as we continue on our road trip and visit a UNESCO fortified medieval church, Rupea fortress, and a lake hidden near an inactive volcano.
Our first stop of the day was at the perfectly preserved medieval church in Viscri. This church is set in a quaint, rural village which gives you a true taste of Romanian life. We definitely recommend braving the rickety stairs and taking in the gorgeous views from the top of the church, it's worth it!
We then visited one of the oldest settlements in Romania, Rupea Fortress. This fortress is set high above the town and offers beautiful panoramic views of the Transylvanian countryside. It is a great stop if you are traveling the road between Brasov and Sighisoara.
To end the day, we stopped at Emerald Lake for a quick swim. We were lucky enough to have great sun on our visit and we got to experience the emerald green color of the lake. On days when isn't so sunny you might experience a duller color. It was a great last stop because the water was super refreshing and the surrounding area was very quiet and peaceful with only a handful of visitors.
Thanks for watching! We would love for you to like, comment, and subscribe if you enjoyed this video!

Romania has no hidden gems, the whole country is a gem. I've been there for 3 years and i miss it and wish i would be back there. The country is wonderful same as the people there. Greetings from Luxembourg.
So true Ed! The people and country are amazing! We can understand why you wish to be back there 😍 Thanks for watching!
Vielen Dank für deinen nette kommentar über mein Land! Schöne Grüße von ein Rumäne der in Deutschland lebt!
TRANSYLVANIA
@@papaszem44 which is a part of Romania? Anyway you can also visit Danube Delta and other things down south
there is a huge difference between the west of the country wich is considered the most civilised thanks to foreign influence,and the rest of the country,the south and the est are very poor regions,much more dirty and not taken care off,many people who dont work,they drink alot,kill each other because of that,plastic everywhere,and so many other things,you should be very carefull if you get to be somewhere in the east of the country,there many places to see,but the people are a let down,its just an advice for the future
Super frumos în România. Bravo.
Mulțumesc! Thanks for watching and the great comments 👊 Appreciate you!
Avem o super minunata tara chiar si asa furata ,vândută❤️🇷🇴❤️
@@vasilicanegru7218 ce e furata, nu e pretuita ...
@@vasilicanegru7218 ,da e foarte frumos în România.
@@karlantonycornelus209 ❤🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴❤multumesc frumos
Romania gives off this chill vibe that I just can't explain to be honest. 🤗
Always appreciate your comments Dany! Thanks for always watching 🤗
@@SammyandTommy Of course! 🤗
Romania still got the Holly Spirit because of the trust in God thats why feels like this good vibe.
TRANSYLVANIA
@@hrisostomstoian6555 Aia era😆😆😆😆
When I was younger I used to feel ashamed by the fact that we aren't so developed and many places look very rural compared to the Western cousins but now I think it's quite cool and I started to enjoy more the nature and the unsophisticated people who live in there, it's like a medicine if you're stressed out! 😉
You’re right, Romania appears to be a real hidden gem. Love the old church and castle. The authentic, old-world feel of the countryside is very appealing.I’d love to experience it some day.
TRANSYLVANIA
@@papaszem44 In the reality I live, Transylvania is a region in the country of Romania.
@@ionutzzexe unfortunately since 1920 is under romanian rule ...
@@papaszem44 Yes, it was a natural move as the majority of the population was romanian.
@@m.dewylde5287 bullshit! 1000 year organic part of the Hungarian Kingdom! Since WWI under romanian millitary occupation ...
Wonderful selection of music that flowed with their scenes of the beautiful countryside of Romania.
❤️🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴❤️
TRANSYLVANIA
@@papaszem44Stolen from Hungary😂🇭🇺✌🏻...
Romania 🇷🇴 is now my new #1!
YAY!! It should be on everyone's list, such a great trip!!
I have seen many travel vloggers that visited Romania but i think u guys had the longest stay in Romania and that can be seen in your videos wich they appear to be in depth and complete . Hope you’ve enjoyed this little adventure called Romania 😃
Thanks very much! We enjoyed it so much we are already planning a second trip! 🍻
@@SammyandTommy and thank you for not being one of those “we paid for 1st class train tickets, but this is clearly not 1st class and nonchalantly laughing at it” 😛 All countries have different negatives depending on what success they’ve had historically, but you decided not to show them and instead focused on the beautiful stuff 😊
You guys really had some quality time in Romania, wow! I'm enjoying so much the medieval soundtracks of the videos and the gorgeous sights, and all of that added to a great editing and storyline equals your channel! You guys are doing an absolute awesome job! 😊☺️
Thanks Rômolu! The search for music did take way too much time for this video 😅 so glad you took notice 👊 Really appreciate all the support!
Theeee most tiresome part for me by far haha
@@SammyandTommy Exactly, the quality of your videos is impresive. You should have more likes and subscribers.
The aerials are awesome. This video confirmed me that you are doing it yourself. How big is your drone that you can carry it all around so easily?
And a courisity if I may. How did you shot the aerial that zoomed out from you in the Rupea Fortress? Was that played in reverse?
Thanks Iulian 👊 We are just trying to improve with every video! The aerials were filmed with the original mavic air. I made a deal with Sammy that once we get to 10k, I get to upgrade 🤩 The clip of us at Rupea is actually a quick shot on the DJI drones called, dronie. It is very simple to use but didn’t work very well this time around. Hopefully the quick shots are better with the new drones! Anyways appreciate your kind words 🍻
Watching with me lil maltipoo from Sydney 🇦🇺, hallelujah 🙌 althou first instinct of that church ⛪ was the movie The Nun lol, but its all St Mary's with u both 🙏
Thanks for watching 👊 Hope you’re doing well in Sydney! Can’t wait to visit that city again 😍 haha that’s too funny about the Nun movie! I almost went with a creepy theme for that sequence which would of really brought those vibes 😱 Always appreciate your comments 😃
The nun was filmed in Romania if I'm not mistaken
Great video y’all! Can’t wait to visit Romania one day and get one of those bottles of water 😂 Seriously though, the countryside looks beautiful and the towns have so much history!
Thanks friends! 🤗 Yes, the Romanian countryside doesn’t quit, it’s definitely worth the trip!
If you ever go to Romania, get in touch. I will give you many local tips haha ( off the beaten path also)
Ask anyone when you are in Romania for a glass of water if you are thirsty and offered free of charge

Haha exactly :) 🦇
Rupea Fortress stands on one of the oldest archaeological sites in Romania, the first signs of human settlements dating from the Paleolithic and Early Neolithic (5500 BC-3500 BC). Archaeological investigations have revealed objects from this era, testimony of settlements in the region: stone tools, pottery, funeral urns, etc.
In Dacian times, on these places was raised the dava known as Rumidava or Ramidava (after various historical sources); conquered by the Romans, Rumidava became the Roman castra Rupes (in Latin, rupes means "rock" or "stone").
The Roman castra Rupes was part of the Roman fortification belt defending the commercial area and routes linking the Târnava Valley with the Olt Valley, Râșnov and Hoghiz.
According to Romanian archaeologists, the current fortress might have been built on the ruins of a former Dacian defense fort, based on Dacian pottery sherds found at the site.
Great videos! Thanks 4 sharing! What drone are u using?
Thanks for watching Mike 👊 This was shot with the original Mavic air. Hopefully upgrading soon 🤞

Guys you are amazing! Do you know you are one of the best advertisers for Romania? Along with Prince Charles of Great Britain which owns a propriety in Viscri!
And Tammy has such a soothing voice!
You're way too kind Mada 🥰 We really appreciate your sweet comments! Thanks for watching 🤗 To settle our bet, which one has the soothing voice 🤔
Fair Point!
U guys seem like fun trip partners.🙂
I think we are most of the time 😉 Come join us one day!
@@SammyandTommy 👍I would certainly love to
Oh no, you missed the "viscri 38 restaurant" , they have awsome food there. Next time be sure to give it a try! 😉
We know 🙈 Next time no doubt! Thanks for watching!
@@SammyandTommy be sure to have money! 🤣 it's expensive
Thank you because you show my cowntry🙏🙏🙏🙏
Romania is a beautiful country, indeed. Unfortunately, most of the Romanians fail to see its beauty.
Yes, because we are so fuckin' poor living with 400 euros per month from which the corrupt state takes 42%.
We allready see it that's why we travel in Bulgaria 😂😂😂
Brașov was originally named Kronstadt, Crown City by the Saxons.
"Terra Saxonum de Barasu" - not originaly, but by the saxons ...
👏❤️🤗🙏
Romania is a traditionalist country. Thats's why it's like freedom for westerners.
How is the Romanian Beer?
Great question J! It was really good and refreshing! Looking forward to trying more! Thanks for watching 🍻
I feel like this is the question we all need to ask ourselves before travelling to any country! If the beer's good then we picked the right destination!
Romania has some decent lager and beers you should go visit you won't be disappointed. I also suggest staying away from the overly touristy places but that's just in my opinion (you might end up waiting in ques for hours) Romania has a lot more to offer than just Bran castle and Dracula. The Danube Delta is one gem of Europe and if you go there in the right season you'll love it
So right Celestin! Thanks for the advice and tips 👊
@@celestindimitriu3675 right! Danube and bucovina !

Go and visit Maramureș Săpânța
Great suggestion Ion! We added that to our next road trip list! What beautiful cemetery 😍 Thanks for watching!
this is also pre covid damn i miss life
Hopefully it will get more back to normal every day🤞
What accent is that?californian?
We are from the Pacific Northwest, Washington State!

RESPECT 🙏❤👍
When you're buy the house in Transilvania guys?
Haha hopefully one day ☺!!
it is super beutiful in Romania, but whats witha camera?
Yes, it is a very beautiful country 😍 What is your question about a camera?
@@SammyandTommy well, quality of footage is quite bad, technically, not content or composition.. Dont take me wrong, but you have good shoots and than picture is not clear(as my english is also not clear, but I hope Ive said it so its understandable).
On mobile device is ok, but on bigger screen is not that clear.
Yes some of it is shot on an old camera. I convinced Sammy if we ever get to 10k subs then we can upgrade maybe 🤞Let’s hope we can make that happen!
We will look into it 👍 Thanks
Mulțumesc Sammy mulțumescTommy
Thank you!
@@SammyandTommy dear, if you have not been to the Danube delta, which is the only year in Europe, I warmly recommend you to visit it, together with the north of Moldova with the chain of monasteries created by our ancestors, equally unique in Europe and the world, Voroneț, Putna, Sucevita , Moldovita and others, and enjoy our traditions with the Romanians who are waiting for you with the culinary art of Moldova with respect.
More vloggers these days really invite tourists to visit Romania!
they are the best promoters of our country Alin!!!
Congratulations beautiful people! You know how to artistically present and give charm to old places, forgotten by the world and once considered ridiculous by the Romanian communist regime.🙂👍
What an awesome comment! Thanks o much for sharing 💙
hello! how did you get to travel in romania? i thought tourists from usa are not allowed to enter the country. please enlighten me. thanks! more video please!
Hi Juan 👋 Nice to meet you 👊 This was filmed before they had those restrictions. Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!
Hey! The country is partially open now, they lifted most of the restrictions here, in Romania because they managed to vaccinate a lot of people. So check out your Foreign Affairs Ministry website or the facebook page of the Embassy of Romania in your country and you should get more info on how to get here.
Were a you from ?
Where
Where a you from ?
We are from Washington State in the US. Where are you from?
I live in WA state ( born in Romania) :)
When did you take the trip guys? I don't see anything from Corona around, no masks.
In 2019 i guess.
Hi Diana! Yes Catalin is right. Finally catching up with our videos. Thanks so much for watching 🤗
We should stay in touch! Next time when you visit Bucuresti I can show you Romania's hidden gem, Ferentexas ;). Here is the plece where all things are "hidden".

Next Serbia?
Sadly we missed it 😔 We really want to visit it soon though! Where would you recommend we go?
@@SammyandTommy Belgrade,
Novi Sad,Nis,Subotica National park Tara,Zlatibor and much more :) You are welcome there are many tourists because there are no restrictions.
@@gsm147 Great to know! Really appreciate your suggestions 🤗
I think i should go and live in romania forever.
Maybe next time you will also visit Salina Turda
We plan too! Thanks for the suggestion Robert!
That was not a volcano lake but a quarry lake. You can see the cuts in the stone. However, there is an inactive volcano in the area.
Thanks for the clarification 🍻
You've just missed the "Basalt columns from Racoș" which are so close to the Emerald Lake it's a couple of minutes walk...
To be that close and miss it 🤦♂️ Next time!
@@SammyandTommy At Viscri you should definitely visit Prince Charles's house and drink a lemonade whilst sitting on the porch 😉. Compliments for your nice presentation of all the beautiful places you've visited in Romania and I'm looking forward to see you again soon.
