About Transylvania
Transylvania is the largest region of Romania, a place that combines the medieval look of castles, fortresses, towns and old villages with natural places of rare beauty, with well-preserved customs, traditions and crafts and delicious homemade or natural food and drinks. It has a relief that takes your breath away. The mountains that surround it on three sides command respect from anyone who manages to tread its lands, being one of the most beautiful and picturesque areas in Romania.
Transylvania has a number of resort towns, famous for their therapeutic waters, but also the most beautiful towns in Romania, most of them preserving the thousand-year-old fortresses and the medieval air. You must not miss a visit to Cluj Napoca (Youth Capital in 2015), Brașov, Alba Iulia, Sighisoara or Sibiu (European Cultural Capital in 2007).
