Romania has a rich culture and a long history that's been influenced by its own indigenous people as well as other nearby ethnic groups. Gypsies have also played an important part in Romanian culture, with their music, crafts, and cultural festivals such as the Roma Week festival being extremely popular. For centuries they have maintained traditions like fortunetelling, storytelling, and wheel-crafting while adding new contributions to modern-day Romanian society such as brass band music and culinary dishes like caeama. Overall, their influence on Romanian culture is immense and greatly appreciated.

Romania is a South-Eastern European country known for its diverse culture, culinary, landscapes and traditions. Gypsies (also called Roma) have been living in Romania since the Middle Ages and are well-integrated into the society as many practice various professions. The culture of Romania features unique customs such as painted egg ornaments, traditional folk dances and costumes, vibrant religious festivals and rich musical heritage which has contributed to its colourful diversity. It also offers many historical landmarks such as archaeological ruins of Dacian or ancient Dacian city ruins like Sarmizegetusa citadel; medieval fortified churches found especially in Transylvania (e.g., Biertan Fortified Church); UNESCO World Heritage monuments such Bran Castle; and many more touristic attractions throughout its territories that offer visitors memorable experience.
