Step back into a time before sparkling vampires became popular thanks to Twilight. The original vampire myth was Count Dracula. This tour offers you an opportunity to trace clues about his life from the 15th century, when he was known as Vlad the Impaler, in Transylvania.
- Climb 1,480 steps up to Poenari Castle, reputedly the residence of Vlad the Impaler.
Next on your itinerary is a guided tour at Bran Castle. Known for its towering structures and perched atop a 200-foot-high rock, this castle gained fame through Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula." Although Stoker never visited Transylvania himself, he crafted Count Dracula’s world using research and imagination.
After exploring Bran Castle, your journey continues to the medieval heart of Brasov. Founded in 1211 by the Teutonic Knights on an ancient Dacian site, this city is renowned for its Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance architecture. Once a settlement for the Saxons as one of seven walled citadels, it retains a distinct medieval atmosphere that has made it a backdrop for many period films.
- Stroll through Brasov's old town center to see landmarks like the Black Church, Council Square, and Hirche House. Admire numerous Baroque-style buildings from Austro-Hungarian times and take in the beauty of the Black Church, which is the largest Gothic church between Vienna and Istanbul.
