In-Depth Information
A melange of architecture and chic sidewalk cafes punctuate the towns of Braşov,
Sighişoara and Sibiu, while the vibrant student town Cluj-Napoca has the country's most
vigorous nightlife. Many of southern Transylvania's Saxon villages are dotted with forti-
fied churches that date back half a millennium. An hour north, in Székely Land, ethnic
Hungarian communities are the majority. Throughout you're likely to spot many Roma
villagers - look out for black cowboy hats and rich red dresses.
