The coast can be seen, in general, from May/June, when the temperature of the air is the best, but the sea water is still cold. People can go on the coast also in September, especially durind the first half. For treatments, the coastal resorts are open all year long.
Its best to visit the Danube Delta from April to October, when many fishermen go fishing in the Delta.
The sub-mountainous area is best visited from the secound half of April to October. The most special mounths are May (when the trees flourish, creating the feeling of the vegetable boom).
The snow reigns from November to February. In the sub-mountainous areas, the trips are also difficult due to the snow and low temperatures. But people forget the cold weather in December, fascinated by the special customs and traditions (carols, feasts) of Christmas and New Year.

The territory of Romania has been inhabited since the Paleolithic period.
Present-day Romania was first inhabited by the Dacians, fierce warriors subdued by the Romans under Traian in two extremely difficult campaigns at the beginning of the 2nd century AD. The relatively brief Roman occupation, 165 years, nevertheless left us a lasting legacy the Latin language which survived the many subsequent invasions of migratory peoples.
Over the years a Romanian identity progressively developed, during the 13th and 14th centuries the feudal states of Wallachia and Moldavia were estableshed. Centuries of struggles against the Turks ensued in these states. Meanwhile Transylvania was successively occupied by the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires. Finally Moldavia and Wallachia were united in 1859, independence was achieved in 1877 and union with Transylvania in 1918.
Communist rule established after the World War II, lasted 45 years, and it was ended by the December revolution of 1989.
