I have a friend who lives in Budapest, and has shared several photos of the traditional dress there. There's some basic Eastern European similarity, but it does not look like those dresses in your picture at all. So it wasn't even a possibility in my mind.

CONGRATULATIONS!
Transylvania was mentioned and this IS Transylvania but the country is Romania. Transylvania used to be part of Hungary and before that an independent nation. The hint of parallel bars referred to all the Olympic medals Romania wins in gymnastics. Stay tuned, we will have at least one of these a week! Your points have been sent.

It couldn't be Hungary - the houses aren't (mustard) yellow!
