Property in Transylvania

Transylvania is Romania’s greatest tourism asset. Evoking visions inspired by the legend of Dracula, the region offers numerous medieval villages, skiing in the resorts of Poiana Brasov and Sinaia and a culture rich with traditional customs and festivals. Key cities include:

• Cluj-Napoca - the capital and economic centre of the region. Home to 6 state funded universities, the city is a young and vibrant. The local infrastructure is undergoing major improvement with the Bors - Cluj-Napoca - Brasov motorway project eventually to link the Atlantic Ocean to the Black Sea.
• Oradea – a small city, it is famous for its large open spaces and wide boulevards.
• Sighisoara – a fascinating city - the last inhabited medieval citadel in Eastern Europe. Built in 1280, many of the original towers and fortifications are still standing.
• Sibiu - a delightful town, with cobbled streets and pastel coloured houses. Selected as the 2007 European Capital of Culture, the city is currently undergoing enormous gentrification.

The region offers a temperate climate. Summer temperatures average in the low 70s with sub-zero temperatures in the winter.

Transylvania provides 3 airports with direct flights available from Germany, Austria, Italy and Hungary. To improve connections into Transylvania, Brasov airport is in the process of being extended to cater for civilian traffic. The extension is due to be completed in 2008.
