Located in Southeastern Europe, Romania is a real insider tip when it comes to experiences abroad. Extremely rich in history, culture and nature, not only the capital Bucharest is suited for Work and Travel Romania, but also the rural regions, where you'll find numerous job options.

Finding a Job for Work and Travel Romania

Besides mining and the energy industry, tourism and agriculture in particular are among the country's most important economic sectors. The latter is practically ideal for a Work and Travel stay in Romania.
Jobs in a hostel in Bucharest or in Sibiu (Hermannstadt), which has a strong German-Romanian character, are certainly always a good way to start a Work and Travel stay.

In rural Romania, on the other hand, there are numerous ecological and alternative projects that could use a helping hand or two. The same naturally applies to agriculture. If you want to dive into rural culture, you can get involved here as a helper. Numerous farms are located especially in Wallachia, the Moldavia region and the plains of the Banat. Winegrowing also holds special significance in Romanian agriculture. The local wine industry, which has been practiced for thousands of years, is also a good source of seasonal jobs.

Traveling During Your Work and Travel

Since Work and Travel is famously not only about working but also about traveling, it's worth taking a closer look at the best destinations in Romania. Beyond the popular destinations of Bucharest and Sibiu (Hermannstadt), the country has some truly extraordinary tourist attractions to offer.
These include, for example, Bran Castle, which became famous and infamous as the "Dracula's Castle" of Prince Vlad. In complete contrast to this dark history stand the extraordinary Moldavian monasteries, no fewer than eight of which have been declared UNESCO World Heritage sites. Nature lovers, on the other hand, will love exploring the Danube Delta or traveling the Transalpina panoramic road, a full 150 km from Transylvania to Wallachia.

Staying in the Capital

For an urban Work and Travel Romania with a focus on Romania's modern way of life, there's hardly a better destination than Bucharest. Not without reason is the capital also called Little Paris, because in monuments and history it is second to none among other historic metropolises. The city even has its own triumphal arch, built in 1935 after the Parisian model. The historic old town is also a real gem, welcoming its visitors vibrantly alongside high-rises and concrete apartment blocks.
Countless bars and clubs enrich Bucharest's cultural landscape and give Work and Travel travelers the chance to make friends quickly.
