Mureș is a county of Romania, located in the historical region of Transylvania. Its capital city is Târgu Mureș....

Its landscape is mainly made of mountains and hills in the North, and transforms to a vast plateau with deep and wide valleys in the rest of the country. Built on a vibrant multicultural fabric, that includes Hungarian-speaking Székelys and Transylvanian Saxons, this county hosts a rich heritage of fortified churches and towns. Some of its main tourist attractions are: the old city of Târgu Mureș, the medieval city of Sighișoara (a UNESCO World heritage site), the health resort of Sovata, the city of Reghin, the medieval fortified church of the Saschiz village (also a UNESCO World Heritage site) and the Călimani and Gurghiu Mountains.
