If you’re planning on visiting Romania in the wi If you’re planning on visiting Romania in the winter, make sure you bring warm clothing! 🥶 During our trip to Timisoara at the end of October, I had the chance to try out my new Ambition I Winter Barefoot Boots from @saguaroshoes_official 🥾 They’re incredibly warm and cozy, with a soft suede exterior and a fleece lining. The boots were great for walking along the cobbled streets of the old town 🚶🏼‍♀️ Do you have a go-to pair of winter boots when you travel? 🇷🇴
Is Timisoara, Romania worth visiting? 🤔 The ci Is Timisoara, Romania worth visiting? 🤔 The city was named the European Capital of Culture in 2023, and it boasts a lot of unique attractions.

The Eyes of Sibiu will be on you at every turn if The Eyes of Sibiu will be on you at every turn if you visit this unique city in Transylvania 👁️👁️ Many of the rooftops here have narrow window slits cut into them, with a dark opening in the centre which makes them look like eyes watching you 👀 In fact, these windows were designed for ventilation purposes as items such as grain, meats, and cheeses were stored in the attics. This design let air flow through the attic without allowing too much sunlight to enter 🪟 The windows have a history dating back to the 15th century, but most of the ones seen today are from the 19th century 😳 Have you seen the Eyes of Sibiu before? Or in any other nearby city in Romania? 🇷🇴 • • • • • • • • • • #sibiu #sibiu❤️ #sibiuromania #sibiucounty #sibiumylove #romania #visitromania #romaniatravel #travel #traveltips #travelblogger #kristatheexplorer #romaniamagica #sibiueyes #visitsibiu #historicplaces #uniquedestinations #historyblogger
