Mureș County

Mureș County is an administrative division in central Romania that covers mountains, hills, and valleys shaped by natural waterways. The county encompasses many municipalities with the Mureș River as a defining natural feature of the landscape.

This area became an official Romanian county in 1925 after centuries under Austro-Hungarian rule ended following the First World War. The administrative boundaries established at that time remain largely unchanged today.

The region blends Romanian and Hungarian traditions in how buildings look, what languages people speak, and how communities celebrate together. You can see this mix reflected in local festivals and the way neighborhoods are built throughout the area.

The county seat of Târgu Mureș has an international airport and good road and rail links to other major cities in Romania. Getting around the area is straightforward whether you use personal transport or local buses.

The town of Reghin has maintained its craft of making string instruments, especially violins, for centuries, and these instruments are played by musicians around the world. This tradition continues as an active part of local life and economy.
