Teleki Castle

Reviewed By Lily-AR13 - Milan, Italy

The Teleki Castle is situated about 20 km from Targu Mures, in the Reghin direction.  Before you visit the castle, it is recommended to call there because the tours are private and in different languages. We arrived there without calling. Because of removing the stuff after the Awake Festival which was held there the previous days, we could enter and wait on a bench in the courtyard for an hour in order to wait for the English tour.  We had as a castle tour the son of the Count Teleki, the owner, who nicely presented us the castle in about 50 minutes.  The castle is built in U shape in a late baroque style, but in a reversed manner, just like another castles around Budapest. It is surrounded by an amazing English garden with old oak trees and an old ginkgo biloba tree.  The castle is under refurbishment and only a part of it may be visited; there can be seen original old doors and stoves, several great Murano chandeliers and pieces of furniture.  The entrance is free and you can donate for the refurbishment of the castle. You may also buy some souvenirs about it or things made by artisanal artists. I highly recommend to visit the castle!

Turnul Sfatului (The Tower of the Council)

Reviewed By charliesU224AJ - Victoria, Australia

Well worth the climb to the top for the views. And the late 1400's clock mechanism on the 6th floor was interesting.

Sf. Nicolae Church (Saint Nicholas)

Reviewed By Vladimiramirela - Mississauga, Canada

St. Nicholas is more than a church. It is an Orthodox Cathedral as well as a Museum Complex as it also represents the First Romanian School, taught in Romanian in times where schooling was regarded as a luxury and subjects were mostly presented in French, German or Latin. St. Nicholas is an amazingly beautiful monument in itself and while in Brasov, I highly recommend stopping for a visit.

Orthodox Cathedral Holy Trinity

This is the second largest Orthodox Cathedral in Romania.

Reviewed By Honisoiquimalypense - Derby, United Kingdom

This is quite an impressive building from outside with its red and yellow striped brick work - very Byzantine in appearance. It was apparently modelled on the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul and is the seat of the Romania Orthodox Archbishop of Sibiu. Although the outside is quite magnificent in its own way - the inside is fabulous - ornately decorated and painted with a great altar. This is the umber one attraction in Sibiu, in my opinion.
