Pros
- Rent a car and drive through Transylvania, avoid big cities (1~2 days in Bucharest is plenty). Much more to see in and around say Brasov, Sighisoara, Sibiu.
- Transylvania is far to be the only interesting area of the country.
- large cities in transylvania have much more of that prague-esque vibe to them and are much more worth visiting. I visited Oradea recently and i loved it. Barely felt like romania in some areas.
- A simple route many travelers enjoy is Bucharest for a couple of days and then heading to Brașov to explore Transylvania, pubs, and nearby mountain areas like Poiana Brașov.
- For anyone interested in medieval history, legends, or dark tourism, Transylvania is a fascinating destination.
Cons

I have a rough route planned going through Brașov, Bran, Viscri, Sighișoara and Sibiu. A few questions — is this realistic? Are rural farmers likely to be open to this kind of arrangement? Any advice on finding a trustworthy farmer to buy from? Any areas or villages you'd particularly recommend? Any warnings or things I haven't thought of?
