One weekend mid-August, we packed our tent and camping gear in search of some milder temperatures, away from the unbearable summer heat wave in the city. The Făgăraș Mountains are always a convenient option for us, so here are, daughter included, spending a full weekend at high altitudes.

There aren’t too many cities in Romania I really recommend visiting mostly because they lack the vibe that we are looking for, but Timișoara has for some years now gotten on our radar. The city is in 2023 the European Capital of Culture, so some extra reasons to enjoy some days here. As a tip, try avoiding the summer months, it can get crazy hot.

Roșia Montană is, starting 2021, as it well deserves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Some more than excellent piece of news that we considered was very much worth celebrating so we took a whole week of vacation (actually 10 days) this summer to spend it in and around the village (not to mention, of course, that we have been regular visitors for years now, regardless of the season).
