The days of communism are long gone. It’s not quite behind the iron curtain, but it is certainly a great option for those looking for something with plenty of culture and history and a little different without the expense of long haul flights.
Bucharest has plenty of sport on offer and if going for a week or so, you could make it a two centre tour and pop down to the Black Sea and have a few nights in Constanta.
SPORTS & SEASONS
Tennis
MAR-OCT
The second most popular sport. Why not head out and see where Simona Halep learnt her trade. Excellent facilities and a chance for pro coaching too. Perfect pre season!
Rugby
MAR-AUG
A relatively new comer to the world of Rugby Union, but for a short 5 – 7 day tour you can have 3 excellent games and ensure your scrummagers get a good workout.
Football
MAR-AUG
As you’d imagine in eastern Europe – football mad, with plenty of levels of opposition to choose from. Enjoy a tour of the Steaua Bucharest Stadium.
Basketball
Year Round
Extremely popular amongst the youth. Romania is probably one of the best places in Europe for a little touring combined with good opposition.
CULTURE
A great mix of old and new – some parts of the cities are modern and westernised, yet turn a corner or travel a little out of town and you could be taken back in time. Recent membership of the EU has seen significant improvements in the infrastructure – so there is more to Romania now than just Dracula’s Castle and the Black Sea.
Activities
No visit to Bucharest would be complete without a tour of the Communist Past and a half day walking tour of the historical city. A day trip to “Dracula’s Castle” in Brasov is also well worth it. History buffs can visit the Ceausescu Mansion and the more light hearted can spend an afternoon at Therme Bucharest, a fantastic water park.
Accommodation
Affordable, central, well equipped hotels used in both Bucharest and Constanta, within easy reach of training facilities.
