                <description><![CDATA[A Unesco heritage site, the city is overlooked by a unique medieval citadel.  Climb up the clock tower to get a birds eye view, or up the covered wooden stairs to the German church, school and graveyard.  Ask in the local shops for a private room to stay the night, and experience the spooky atmosphere within the old city walls.  This is the city where Vlad Tepes was allegedly born (Dracula was loosely modelled on him.)]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A small restaurant/bar hidden away in a lovely old villa, Shoni serves up amazing Transilvanian fare at wooden benches.  Great atmosphere, good music, lacking in the "fitosi" variety of young Romanians.  It closes for a couple of months during the summer when it moves to the seaside.]]></description>

The decor is amazing, music just right, and is the type of place that if it opened in Bucharest would be heart-breakingly expensive, but it's in Budapest so it's not.]]></description>

A unique shade of blue was used for Voronet monastery, now lending its name to the colour.  <br><br>You need a car to get around all of them or alternatively, hire a Romanian guide to show you round the area.]]></description>
