Craiova is becoming increasingly visible on the tourist map of Europe, attracting a growing number of Romanian and foreign visitors, especially for weekend city breaks. The city's popularity is supported by large-scale events, such as Christmas and Easter fairs, as well as a varied offer of culture, gastronomy, and nightlife.


Tourists from countries such as Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, or Greece are increasingly choosing Craiova, encouraged by direct flights and affordable prices. Attractions such as Nicolae Romanescu Park or the Art Museum in Craiova, housed in the Jean Mihail Palace and known for the works of Constantin Brâncuși, complete the tourist experience. During peak periods, hotel occupancy often exceeds 80%, confirming the growing interest in this city in southern Romania.
