When you think of traveling Europe, Romania probably isn’t in the top five (or even 10) places you think of visiting. However, in our humble opinion, it should be!

We’d argue that a visit to the Transylvania region in Romania isn’t complete without some time spent in Sighisoara. There are many reasons to add this town to your bucket list, just take your pick!

Transylvania and the countryside of Romania called to us, and the road we’d take there was the Transfagarasan Highway (Transfăgărășan in Romanian). A drive on this road isn’t your average road trip; it’s often listed as one of the top road trips in the world...

We'll go out on a 'limb' and say that it isn’t every day that you hear someone talk about visiting Bucharest, Romania, but this Eastern-European capital, in our opinion, is a hidden gem. Take our word for it; this is a place you’re going to want to visit! Moreover, visit soon, since it won’t be long before this wonderful city becomes a huge tourist destination

We rented a studio a couple of miles outside of ‘Old Town’, so sightseeing and nightlife was just a metro or tram ride away. We found that public transportation in Bucharest is extensive, frequent, and easy to use.

We spent a month living in Bucharest, Romania and a few weeks traveling through Transylvania. During our time there, we learned how to get by as tourists and as ‘locals’. With the goal of experiencing the country to its fullest, with everything it has to offer, yet saving money where possible, we learned a lot about Bucharest and Transylvania, Romania.

Our travels brought us to Oslo, Norway. We were excited to explore a new country and spend time in Scandinavia.

As you may imagine, public transportation is a bit different in every city around the world. From knowing which type of ticket to purchase, ticket validity and zone boundaries, to how to use the system (trams, trains, metros, buses, etc.) it can take a bit of time and research to figure it all out.

There’s no reason to have a car in Paris. Just like most of the other cities we’ve visited, the public transportation is more than adequate, if not superior to driving.

Set on the Nile River, Cairo has an allure that can’t be denied. We first heard about it in grade school, where we learned about the wonders of the Nile, of papyrus, and of the Giza Pyramids.

After our visit to Zurich, we went on the Bernina Express, one of our bucket list train rides. So, since the train ended in Tirano, Italy, and Milan is only a two-and-a-half hour train ride along Como Lake, it seemed like the perfect place for us to go to next.

We love taking trains, they're a fantastic alternative to planes, when going from one place to another. However, the Bernina Express was on our bucket list for an entirely different reason. The sheer beauty of the mountains, glaciers, lakes, water falls, rivers, and bridges that the train passes makes this train arguably one of the most beautiful train rides in Europe, and possibly the world.
