
Romania is a country located in
Southeastern and Central Europe, North of
the Balkan Peninsula, on the Lower
Danube, with in and outside the
Carpathian arch, bordering on the Black
Sea

Romania destinations such as Mangalia, Saturn, Venus,
Neptun, Olimp, Constanta and Mamaia (sometimes called
the Romanian Riviera) are among the most popular
attraction during summer. During winter, the skiing
resorts along the Valea Prahovei and Poiana Braşov are
popular with foreign visitors. For their medieval
atmosphere and castles, Transylvanian cities such as
Sibiu, Braşov, Sighişoara, Cluj-Napoca, Târgu Mureş have
become important touristic attractions for foreigners.
Rural tourism focused on folklore and traditions, has
become an important alternative recently, and is targeted
to promote such sites as Bran and its Dracula's Castle,
the Painted churches of Northern Moldavia, the Wooden
churches of Maramureş, or the Merry Cemetery in
Maramureş County. Other major natural attractions in
Romania such as Danube Delta, Iron Gates (Danube
Gorge), Scărişoara Cave and several other caves in the
Apuseni Mountains have yet to receive great attention.

Romanian gymnastics has had a large number of
successes – for which the country became known
worldwide. In the 1976 Summer Olympics, the gymnast
Nadia Comăneci became the first gymnast ever to score
a perfect ten. She also won three gold medals, one silver
and one bronze, all at the age of fifteen. Her success
continued in the 1980 Summer Olympics, where she was
awarded two gold medals and two silver medals.

Football (soccer) is by far the most popular sport in Romania. The
governing body is the Romanian Football Federation, which belongs
to UEFA. The top division of the Romanian Professional Football
League attracted an average of 5417 spectators per game in the
2006–07 season. At international level, the Romanian National
Football Team has taken part 7 times in the Football World Cup, and
it had the most successful period throughout the 1990s, when
during the 1994 World Cup in the United States, Romania reached
the quarter-finals and was ranked by FIFA on the 6th place. The
core player of this "Golden Generation"[197] and perhaps the best
known Romanian player internationally is Gheorghe Hagi
(nicknamed the Maradona of the Carpathians).[198] Famous
currently active players are Adrian Mutu and Cristian Chivu. The
most famous football club is Steaua Bucureşti, who in 1986 became
the first Eastern European club ever to win the prestigious European
Champions Cup title, and who played the final again in 1989.
Another successful Romanian team Dinamo Bucureşti played a
semifinal in the European Champions Cup in 1984 and a Cup
Winners Cup semifinal in the 1990. Other important Romanian
football clubs are Rapid Bucureşti, CFR 1907 Cluj-Napoca and FC
Universitatea Craiova.
