3 Days Dracula Tour In Transylvania

In the morning we leave Bucharest and head to Sibiu. On the way we will stop at Cozia Monastery built in 1386 by the grand father of Vlad the Impaler. When we arrive in Sibiu, however, we will visit the historical center very well, with its towers, its museums, its places of worship. It has been revived in the Middle Ages because Sibiu acted as the European Capital of Culture in 2007, and it played a very important economic and confessional role in the 15th and 16th centuries, and then reached its highest development during the seventeenth century, when the governor of Transylvania decided to settle permanently in this beautiful city. Overnight in a 3* hotel in Sibiu.

We will leave Sibiu and head to discover the beauties of another city, Sighisoara, whose old town is a UNESCO heritage, a place which tourists love because it is one of the few fortified cities founded in the 12th century still inhabited. We will see its painted houses with bright colors, the famous Clock Tower, its worship places, both Catholic and Evangelical, and the famed school ladder. We will then find out how it is possible to have lunch at Vlad Dracula’s house. This mysterious historical character, in fact, was born right in the heart of Transylvania and spent here, in Sighisoara, the very first years of his life. Then there is another stop to see Rupea’s fortress externally. We will arrive in Brasov where we’ll visit the old town with its imposing black church, dating back to the end of the 14th century. Overnight in a 3* hotel in Brasov or Poiana Brasov.

We leave the beautiful Brasov and head to Bucharest. We’ll stop at Bran and finally visit the famous castle founded by Teutonic knights during the twelfth century which became the favorite residence of the generous and beloved Queen Mary in 1920. It is a Gothic, mysterious and elegant building, typically medieval at the exterior, traditionally Roman in point of interior decoration.  Visit to the fabulous Peles Castle, the summer residence of the first king of Romania, the King Charles 1 of Hohenzollern, of German origins. The castle was beautifully designed by a Czech architect, and is famous for being one of the most modern castles in Europe at the time of its construction, between the 19th and 20th centuries. Each room is characterized by a unique style, different from the styles of the other rooms. We will also admire the Florentine room, where we will breathe a typically Italian and Renaissance atmosphere.After we leave Sinaia, we  go to Snagov to visit the monastery which probably shelters Vlad Dracula’s tomb. The monastery is located in a beautiful place on an island surrounded by a lake, and while visiting the monastery, we will discover what the famous Vlad created in this area of Wallachia during the fifteenth century. Then we return to Bucharest and we will accompany you to or near your hotel.
