Get closer to the Dracula legend by visiting Dracula’s castle in Bran and Dracula’s birthplace in Sighisoara to learn more about local history and traditions.
Bran Castle is one of the most famous landmarks in Transylvania, and is known as the home of Count Dracula. The 14th-century hillside castle and fortress, however, actually houses a collection of furniture and artworks that once belonged to Marie, Romania’s last queen. Tour the eerie castle—including the infamous torture room—and decide for yourself what’s fact or fiction. Located about 120 miles away from Bucharest, the castle and Transylvania are a great day trip from the capital, especially for lovers of medieval history and vampires.
Drive across Transylvania towards the city of Sighisoara. Here, admire the beautiful medieval cityscape in Romania.
Visit the clock tower, giving you an insight in the city’s history with an impressive view of the citadel, the former defensive towers and walls of the city.
Admire the birthplace of the Walachian leader Vlad Dracul, who would later become known as Count Dracula. Discover his house of birth, and sample a shot of Romanian schnapps.
In the afternoon, drive to Bran Castle, an impressive fortification and residence of the Romanian family. The castle is also known as Dracula’s Castle.
In the late afternoon, return to your hotel in Bucharest.
