Other dates worth booking
Romania's National Day (December 1) marks the 1918 unification of Transylvania with the existing Kingdom of Romania, a relatively late addition compared to the country's older history, only formally adopted as the national holiday date after the fall of communism in 1990. Orthodox Christmas and Easter, on the Orthodox calendar, remain the most widely observed religious holidays.
