In Romanian, "a arunca praf în ochi" literally means "to throw dust in someone's eyes", to deceive by hiding some of the facts. And that's not something you'll ever catch us doing around here at Accessible Romania.
We choose honesty when we say that Romania, just like many other countries, has its accessibility challenges. Many of the cities and buildings are ancient, from fortified citadels to castles built centuries in the past. Because of that, accessibility isn’t always a given.
But do you know what we do have on our side? Romania is an incredibly picturesque country, with snap-worthy spots around every corner. This means that, although some places may not be totally accessible for everyone, they’re still worth visiting and taking a look, even if from afar. Take Bran Castle, for example. Tourists flock to Bran because they’ve heard rumours that Count Dracula used to live there, and the castle itself is so uniquely stunning. The truth is, if you’re a wheelchair user and you’re not ambulatory, there’s little hope of getting inside. But it is still 100% worth visiting and taking a look at from the outside. Being able to see and say you were in the grounds of Bran Castle is already something cool and unique.
And through our tours and day trips, we’ve been able to put together a lot of experiences that ARE accessible. So, you don’t always have to just sit back and enjoy the view from a distance. You can experience the activities we have on our itineraries, up close and personal, without fear of missing out. There’s more than enough for you to do here in Romania to leave you feeling satisfied and with one simple question: “Why didn’t I think to come here sooner?”
