Introduction:
 When referring to Romania the first thing that comes to mind is Transylvania.
Transylvania is home to some of the best preserved medieval towns in Europe,
most relating to the legend of Dracula. On this tour your specialist tour
guide will take you on a trip to the past to discover this enchanting Region.
We depart from Bucharest with the first stop of this tour is in Sinaia. Here you
will get a chance to visit the breath-taking Palace of Peles. Continuing to
Brasov, the historical center of Transylvania. Here you will have a chance to
visit its old quarter and Black Church.
Next on the itinerary is the famous Bran Castle. Often referred to as Dracula's
Castle, this fact is disputed by
 historians as it is said the Prince may have
stayed here 1 night during an attack. Despite this Bran Castle is one of the
most picturesque castles in Transylvania, sitting on hilltop with beautiful
views.
Then Sighisoara, the birthplace of Vlad "Dracula" Tepes. One of the most
magnificent citadels in Europe and the only still inhabited. Main attractions
include its 17th century clock tower and medieval torture museum.
After onto Bistrita is where Bram Stoker based the setting for his novel
Dracula. One of the main characters in the novel, the lawyer Jonathan Harker,
was a guest of a hotel here named the Golden Crown. Here you will enjoy a Lunch
and an opportunity to try its specialty drink: blood-red liquor, an exclusive
beverage of the Restaurant.
 The tour would not be complete with out a chance to stay at night at Hotel
Castel Dracula. The Hotel and it's inside court are impressive with their
medieval architecture. Inside the hotel it contains an amusing Dracula Room. If
you are traveling in a larger group we can arrange a Dracula Show with
surprises, costume parade, photo session and visit of “Count Dracula” himself.
