With a population of just 29,742, Reghin is a modest Transylvanian outpost far from the glitz of Bucharest. The city's German and Hungarian heritage is palpable, but the reality is that ethnic Romanians now make up the majority at 58%. While the medieval architecture and musical instrument industry provide cultural charms, bureaucracy is a persistent headache - the 1920 union of German and Hungarian communities is still felt today. Those seeking a taste of old-world Transylvania may find Reghin's blend of traditions appealing, but the city's remote location and lingering administrative challenges make it a better fit for the intrepid than the faint of heart.
