We like the village museum in Bucharest so we expected to like this one as well, but actually we loved it. First of all, the setting is absolutely gorgeous and there is A LOT to see. Bring comfortable shoes as there is considerably walking to be done. While we were not able to locate a guidebook or even some sort... More

Firstly this is not is Piata Mica as the Tripadvisor address suggests. The reviews here (and this one) refer to what is also known as the folk museum about 5km south west of town. Secondly - getting there and back is easy there is a bus from the railway station direct to the museum, its the last stop and this... More

Here you can see romanian house as they used to be, but in nature. In middle there is a beautifull lake. There are accomodation and places to eat also. This is the place to be if you want to catch everything about romanian people and culture. There are usually shows with romanian dancers specialy in the summer. http://www.muzeulastra.ro/

...this is how I felt like when visiting ASTRA. Located like 3 km from Sibiu, easy to find, this museum is like a big, beautiful history park, shows you a lot about Transylvanian values, it's outstanding! There is a "Village Museum" in Bucharest also but you cannot compare it. You can visit ASTRA in summer or winter, you'll get the... More

Doesn't stand for what you'd usually call a museum. It's park where you really go back in time. It's a place where you can either enjoy the nature or get to know the traditional Transylvanian culture. You'll need more than one day if you want to explore it's every corner.

Traditional houses have been brought there from all over Romania to demonstrate the richness of rural llfe in this country. The restaurants inside the museum offer great Romanian food. With a bit of luck you may have the opportunity to listen to... More

I am not a fan of folkloric places and traditions, but this place has that smth to offer the piece of mind after a stressful week at work ;-) . Not only the houses which are greatly preserved, but also the surrounding nature, the quiet and pleasant people that can tell you stories about those houses or regions those were... More

It couldn't be better! Walking around looking at the unique, traditional houses and then able to take a picknik with you and eat next to the lake and then continue to walk around the medieval houses! It's huge so make sure you take some lunch and spend the whole day there!
