It's a museum of traditional folk civilization. It is like a very big park with a forest and a lake and it's
amazing... you can find all the old houses from every part of Romania there, from windmills to old fisherman's house from the Danube Delta to the old house in the mountains, in Bucovina, Maramures and many other places.

the centre of Sibiu is much prettier than Brasov - wander round the Habsburgian streets and squares and soak in the atmosphere

There are almost no Germans left in Transylvania now - Chancellor Kohl saw to that - but their villages all have fortified churches which are not only lovely and evocative in themselves, but whose stories will leave you brimming with tears. Where once a thriving congregation worshipped, now a sole guardian will battle age and local indifference to keep the sites clean and flower strewn. Perhaps, and this is rare, only tourists can keep the places intact. Go there.
