Râmnicu Vâlcea is a small city in southern Romania, located in the historical region of Oltenia. It’s unremarkable in most respects - a typical Romanian town with a few churches and a pedestrianised main square. What makes it interesting, however, is its reputation as a centre of Romanian organised crime. The city has been linked to a number of high-profile crimes and scandals, including the 2011 robbery of the Museum of Natural History in Bucharest and the 2012 kidnapping of a Romanian businessman. It’s not all bad news, though - the city is also home to a thriving arts scene, with a number of theatres and galleries. And if you’re looking for a good night out, Râmnicu Vâlcea has plenty of bars and clubs to choose from.
