Accommodation Brasov 3 nights: Some of my friends stayed at Bella Muzica Hotel and said it was fine (I didn’t stayed here), I just ate at their restaurant (@an American’s suggestion on RomaniaWow Facebook page, and I can tell you that the food is fantastic.

Visits: Heritage UNESCO sites: Viscri and Saschiz. The countryside surrounding these villages is one of Europe’s last remaining medieval landscapes, with probably the most extensive flower-rich grasslands in lowland Europe, unchanged for hundreds of years. Prince Charles was immediately struck by the precious legacy of this area of Transylvania and said he was “totally overwhelmed by its unique beauty and its extraordinarily rich heritage”. In 2007 he even bought a house in Viscri! Visit the Fortified Church in Viscri (World Heritage Site).
