Tourists on the Hunt for a Traditional Romanian Experience

The Romanian city of Sibiu was Europe’s 2007 Capital of Culture -- and although it has handed the title on, it seems its legacy is still attracting more and more tourists to Romania.

They’re drawn by the rich art and culture of the monasteries in Bukovina, in the country’s north and they flock to admire the charm of Bucharest, Romania’s capital city. Just outside Sibiu, near the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, there’s a small village called Sibiel - where tourists linger a little longer.
