Forget the Dracula myths—Transylvania is actually one of Europe’s most enchanting and untouched regions. Think medieval villages, castles straight out of fairy tales, and rolling green hills dotted with wildflowers. The town of Sighișoara (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the world, while Brasov, Sibiu, and Cluj-Napoca offer a mix of gothic architecture, lively cafés, and Romania’s warm hospitality. If you love hidden European gems, Transylvania should be at the top of your list.
