Sibiu (Romania) – #8 in the Forbes list of Europe’s Most Idyllic Places To Live (2008)
“In the heart of Transylvania lies Sibiu, an important but little known city of 160,000. Outside Romania, Transylvania is best known as the sinister setting of Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula. Yet within Romania, the region is known for the outstanding beauty of its Carpathian mountain landscape and its rich and significant history. In 2007, Sibiu was the European capital of culture, and apartments surrounded by cobbled streets and pastel colored buildings can be picked up for under 50,000 euros ($65,000).”
Top 10:
1. Gaiole in Chianti, Italy
2. Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France
3. Copenhagen, Denmark
4. Kefalonia, Greece
5. Ljubljana, Slovenia
6. Burford, England
7. Budapest, Hungary
8. Sibiu, Romania
