Transylvania, with its name coming from Latin ultra silvam (beyond the forest), is one of the most interesting and surprising regions of Romania. Its German, Hungarian and Romanian cultural traditions play a great role in its cultural and ethnic diversity. The Transylvanian plateau is surrounded by mountain peaks and drained by sparkling rivers which makes it both a pleasant place for a relaxing holiday with a landscape pleasing to the eye and an exciting place for adventure-seeking travellers.

ICon Arts in Sibiu
27 jun 2011
At all ICon Arts Academy events the access is free, and one of the permanent concerns of the organizers is that the artistic communication of the message is accessible to the public. The final performance continues a already existing tradition, which is to present the fusion of arts, thus crowning a period of intense work, the interdisciplinary and collaborative approach to the human spirit. The area of Sibiu, which runs courses and concerts, is of interest both for the Romanian tourists, as well for the ones from abroad. In terms of cultural, historical monuments and museums the city offers a wide variety of attractions. Sibiu and its srroundings insure numerous possibilities for fun.
