欣赏建筑奇迹 Behold the architectural marvel

罗马尼亚克卢日-纳波卡国家剧院

卢西安·布拉加国家剧院位于罗马尼亚城市克卢日-纳波卡，是该地区的文化标志。那里的表演展示了基于进步和国际趋势的古典和当代匈牙利戏剧。这座富丽堂皇的剧院是以19世纪晚期流行的新巴洛克风格建造的，它唤起了巴洛克运动的宏伟、色彩和细节，旨在让任何进入空间的人眼花缭乱。它是罗马尼亚的三个国家剧院之一，与布加勒斯特国家剧院和Iași国家剧院并列。

National Theater, Cluj-Napoca, Romania

The Lucian Blaga National Theater, located in the Romanian city of Cluj-Napoca, is a cultural icon of the area. Performances there showcase classical and contemporary Hungarian dramas based on progressive and international trends. The opulent theater was built in the Neo-Baroque style, popular in the late 19th century, which calls back to the grandiosity, color, and detail of the Baroque movement that aims to dazzle anyone who enters the space. It is one of three national theaters in Romania, alongside National Theater Bucharest and Iași National Theater.

A Carpathian Christmas celebration

Nestled at the foot of Mount Tampa in the southern Carpathian Mountains of Romania, Brașov is a wonderful example of medieval Europe's intersecting cultures. Founded by Teutonic Knights, settled by Saxons and Hungarians, influenced by the Ottoman Empire, the Tartars, and the native Romanians, the city's Gothic architecture and unique cuisine reflect its rich history. The city's Christmas market is held throughout the month of December and is dominated by a 90-foot-tall, live Christmas tree. The market's numerous stalls feature food, drink, and local crafts.

The festival is known as 'Braşov—the city from the tales,' perhaps because legend has it that this square is where the children of Hamelin emerged after being led away by the Pied Piper. However you arrive, it's a magical place to drink a cup of cheer and toast to your Romanian hosts with a hearty 'Noroc!' But even if you're keeping it local this year, it's easy to be warmed even by the image of this golden glow from 'the city from the tales.'

喀尔巴阡山的圣诞庆典

布拉索夫坐落在罗马尼亚喀尔巴阡山脉南部坦帕山脚下，是中世纪欧洲文化交融的一个极好的例子。由条顿骑士建立，撒克逊人和匈牙利人定居，受到奥斯曼帝国、鞑靼人和罗马尼亚土著人的影响，这座城市的哥特式建筑和独特的美食反映了它丰富的历史。这座城市的圣诞集市在整个12月举行，以一棵90英尺高的活圣诞树为中心。市场上有很多摊位，有食品、饮料和当地工艺品。

这个节日被称为“传说中的城市”，也许是因为传说这个广场是哈梅林的孩子们在被派笛手领走后出现的地方。不管你到了哪里，这里都是一个神奇的地方，你可以在这里喝上一杯干杯，并用一口热情洋溢的“诺洛克”为你的罗马尼亚东道主干杯。但即使你今年把它保留在当地，也很容易被“传说中的城市”发出的金色光芒所温暖。

A castle fit for a count

Peeking out above the trees in the Făgăraș Mountains of Romania is Poenari Castle, an ancient structure whose reputation is steeped in history and legend. In the 15th century this castle was occupied by the notoriously ruthless ruler Vlad III, aka Vlad the Impaler, aka Vlad Dracula. Vlad wasn't a vampire, but he was known for treating his enemies with particular cruelty. His bloody resistance to Ottoman encroachment would make him a national hero and the subject of much folklore, some of it gruesome. These tales are likely what inspired author Bram Stoker to name his fictional vampire Count Dracula.

Poenari Castle continued to be used following Vlad's death in 1476 but was abandoned decades later. It fell into ruin over the centuries, as earthquakes and landslides sent parts of the building down the cliff and into the Argeș River below. Visiting the ruins today requires determination and stamina—it's a 1,480-step climb to the citadel walls, unless you're able to take the form of a bat and fly to the top.

Protect your neck

Happy Halloween boos and ghouls! We hope our vampire wasn't too scary on this day designed for spooky delights. The fortress in our image is Corvin Castle in Romania—not far from Transylvania, a real historical region in Romania. In Bram Stoker's novel 'Dracula' the ghoulish count lives in a remote Transylvanian castle, cementing the place in popular imagination as the home of Count Dracula. Be careful out there tonight as you go haunting for treats, and keep reminding yourself: There's no such thing as vampires…

Keep calm and drive on (slowly)

The Transfăgărășan in Romania is open for business. Also known as the DN7 highway, the road cuts through the Fagaras Mountains, offering stunning views of waterfalls, glacial lakes, and lush valleys—plus steep drop-offs and hairpin turns to amp up the drama. Back in 2009, Jeremy Clarkson, co-host of the British TV show 'Top Gear,' called this twisty route the 'best road in the world,' which helped turn it into a major tourist draw. The Transfăgărășan reaches elevations just shy of 6,700 feet and has more tunnels and viaducts in its 55 miles than any other road in this mountainous country. But proceed with caution. The speed limit is a sensible 25 mph. And watch out for herds of sheep that use it as a path to greener pastures, and don't mind blocking traffic as they amble there.
