What to do and see in Transylvania, Romania: The Best Neighborhoods

July 24, 2021 Emerita Lamoureux

Transylvania is a historical region in today's central Romania. Bound on the east and south by its natural borders, the Carpathian mountain range, historical Transylvania extended westward to the Apuseni Mountains. The term sometimes encompasses not only Transylvania proper, but also the historical regions of Crișana and Maramureș, and occasionally the Romanian part of Banat.

Reviewed By Vladimiramirela - Mississauga, Canada

Steps from the Golden Barrel restaurant, this narrow pedestrian way between the medieval walls is one of the unique places in Sibiu, a must-see and take pictures of (or with).

Brasov Historical Center

Reviewed By Vladimiramirela - Mississauga, Canada

Brasov is one of the most beautiful cities in Romania, with plenty of historical monuments and natural attractions, many excellent restaurants and offering good accommodations as well. I recommend asking at a hotel reception for the simplified map of the Old Center and have a walk along the fortifications. The central City Square (or Piata Sfatului in Romanian) is an amazing large plaza from where one can see a bit of everything: the Tampa peak with its huge, white name of the city above, the Black Church and the historic layout of business surrounding the place.

Village de Viscri

Reviewed By 118val - Shepparton, Australia

The history of this village dates back to the 12th century by the Saxons, because of its relative isolation has been well preserved. There are no paved roads in the main area and it is best to wear walking shoes as the cobbles are uneven, dogs and geese roam freely and the locals use a horse and cart. The homes are painted in a variety of colours. In the last couple of years a community program for rediscovery and revival of ancient traditions such as organic farming , the skills of the blacksmith hand knitting using the local pure wool are encouraged. There is the opportunity to purchase some of the products.
