Where is Romania located?

Romania is situated in the northeastern part of the Balkan Peninsula and shares borders with Moldova and Ukraine to the north and east, Bulgaria to the south, Serbia to the southwest, Hungary to the west, and to the southeast it has a 200-kilometre coastline along the Black Sea.

The country is divided into four geographical areas. Transylvania and Moldavia, regions characterised by plains, dense forests, glacial lakes and dormant volcanic cones, make up the northern half of the country, separated by the Carpathian Mountains, which encircle the central Transylvanian plateau. This plateau is home to 14 mountains exceeding 2,000 metres in altitude. The southern part of Romania features the low-lying Danube Plain. The country has approximately 3,500 lakes, most of them small to medium-sized.

Mountains cover a third of the country, as do hills, plateaus and plains, creating spectacular landscapes ideal for outdoor activities such as climbing, trekking and river rafting.

Bucharest, the capital, is located in the southeastern corner of the Romanian Plain, along the banks of the Dâmboviţa River, whilst Constanța, the country’s main port and a significant hub for both commerce and tourism, sits on the Black Sea coast.

The historical regions of Romania

For centuries, Romania was divided into four major historical regions: Wallachia, Moldavia, Transylvania and Dobruja. These are enchanting places steeped in history and culture, absolutely worth visiting.

Transylvania, during its history, was subject to a long period of Hungarian and Habsburg rule, and its development has therefore been heavily influenced by Austrian culture. Wallachia and Moldavia, by contrast, were relatively independent provinces whose capitals underwent significant development.

Geographically, Romania today is divided, from west to east, into the following regions:

• Banat, Crișana, Maramureș and Transylvania, all regions that comprised the historic Transylvania;
• Moldavia, which now also includes the historic region of Bukovina;
• Muntenia and Oltenia, which together formed Wallachia;
• Dobruja.
