Other cities and historic villages in Romania

Map |

In contrast to Germany or Austria, Romania has only a few large cities (between 50,000 and 800,000 inhabitants, approx. 35 to 40) and a manageable number of other small towns (20,000 to 50,000 inhabitants, approx. 100). The majority of the inhabitants (approx. 80%) of Romania’s approx. 20 million inhabitants are concentrated in these large cities (e.g. Bucharest with approx. 1.8 to 2.8 million inhabitants) and the 100 small towns listed. But, each of these cities has its own charm, its own history … due to the historical diversity and the historical region in which the city is located. Romania is half the size of Germany in terms of area, but in many places it is uninhabited and unpopulated. In the deep forests of the Carpathians it is probably even unseen. In these forests, which are also the habitat of around 8,000 to 10,000 brown bears, there are places that have probably never been entered or seen by humans.
