For a region to qualify, it must have the recognition of other countries as well as international organizations such as the UN. Transylvania is not considered as a country internationally as it fails to fulfill the fundamental requirement needed to attain the status. Transylvania is not a member of international organizations such as the UN because it does not satisfy the membership requirements.
Transylvania is a region located within the borders of present-day Romania in the central part of the country. One of the most well-known features in the area is the Transylvanian Plateau which rises to a height of approximately 1, feet. The Transylvanian region is surrounded by mountains such as the Carpathian Mountains which are situated in the northern and eastern edges of Transylvania and the Bihor Mountains which are located on the western side of the territory.
Transylvania is bordered by some regions such as Crisana and Maramures. Several of the areas were considered part of Transylvania's land at various points during its history. During Transylvania's colorful history, some communities conquered the region with some well-known examples being the Kingdom of Dacia as well as the Huns and Slavs. More on that later. Transylvania was a distinct territory under various states of rule, including being a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire until the Austro-Hungarian compromise of , when it was incorporated into the Kingdom of Hungary in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The Kingdom of Hungary kept just 28 percent of its lands, with the rest were divided among its newly independent neighboring countries: Romania, Czechoslovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Ukraine, Austria, and Croatia. But of two things we are fairly certain—that it is Transylvanian, and that it is delicious. Double-check your visa needs. Romania, along with Bulgaria, joined the European Union in , but it is not yet part of the Schengen Area —the group of 26 EU states that allow free movement between their borders and visa-less travel for EU citizens, and with a Shengen Area visa for others—although it is expected to join soon.
EU citizens can enter and exit Romania with their passport or national identity card without a visa. Citizens of the U. Schengen citizens do not need a tourist visa. Travelers from other countries need to apply for a tourist visa in advance.
Check your status here. Look beyond Dracula. If you want to go all-in on the vampire theme, go nuts and spend Halloween here—the only time of the year when the castle is open at night. You can get a night tour of the castle and hit the party. There is also Banffy Castle , near Cluj-Napoca.
Most speak English, and many older people do too. The two languages are not similar: Romanian is an Eastern Romance language, and Hungarian a Finno-Ugric one, closer to Estonian and Finnish—although a small percentage of the Romanian lexicon is of Hungarian origin.
Warning: Locals love to teach visitors curse words in both languages —none of which I care to repeat here. Move around, make plans. Transylvania is big. Plan ahead, and pick several places around Transylvania to stay in. If you only have a few days or a week, these are some good spots: Soparkut Panzio for horse-riding and nature, Brasov and Sighisoara for medieval towns and castles, and Cluj-Napoca for city and nightlife.
Brasov, a city of around , surrounded by the Carpathian mountains, is a good base for taking trips to other attractions. The city center is still handsomely medieval, and there are many castles around the area. The Citadel, the Square, the Clock Tower are just a few of its 16th-century landmarks, the town center is all cobbled alleys and towers, narrow streets and stairways, and medieval buildings. Pick your season. Transylvania has the real-deal four seasons.
Springs are mild and sunny. Autumns bring beautiful red-orange-yellow colors and windy, rainy weather. See the content for the entities concerned.
