Transylvania is a land surrounded by myths and legends. One of the most popular legends is that of Vlad the Impaler. The legendary ruler is famous for his ruthlessness as well as for the unique punishment he devised for his enemies. Beyond the numerous people he impaled on stakes, the ruler became known because of Bram's Stoker's novel, Dracula. Tour Transylvania and find out where we draw the line between myth and reality. You will follow into Dracula's footsteps. The itinerary includes both places tied to the novel and places tied with the historical character. Our experienced tour guide will take you on a journey across Romania. As you arrive in different destinations, he will tell you all the interesting stories and legends related to the places you are visiting.

The 5 Reasons you should tour Transylvania

We can probably find dozens if not more reasons why you should tour Transylvania. This time, however, we will point five reasons which stand out.


1) If you are passionate about vampires, you must tour Transylvania

There's no better way to fuel your love for vampire myths and legends than to visit the land of Dracula. Fans of Bram Stoker's novel will undoubtedly5-reasons-you-should-tour-transylvania-dracula-castle recognize places described in the book. You will dine in the same restaurant where Jonathan Harker enjoyed his meal in the novel. Moreover, you will receive the same menu he ordered during his stay. Your accommodations include Dracula's Castle Hotel in Borgo Pass, a fancy establishment situated where Bram Stoker placed the Count's residence.

If you are here for Dracula and the myths surrounding him, then you will love Bran Castle. Situated in Bran Village, the castle matches Bram Stoker's description of Dracula's Castle, therefore earning this nickname. Some of our Halloween tours also include a Halloween Party in the grounds of Bran Castle. During the programme, you will also be able to visit the castle at night, which is truly a unique experience.


2) Tour Transylvania for the beautiful landscapes

5-reasons-you-should-tour-transylvania-cetatea-poenari-vampire-in-transylvaniaBeyond Dracula's legend, Transylvania is an amazing region waiting to be discovered. You can admire amazing landscapes during your journey. Tour Transylvania and discover villages guarded by tall mountains, where locals still embrace old habits and traditions. Discover unique landmarks such as Dracula's Castle in Bran, Turda Salt Mines and many others. Enjoy the magnificent views offered by the Sunset Moutains (Apuseni, in Romanian) and observe the local animals and plants. Notably, Transylvania has the largest number of brown bears in Europe, so you might spot one of them while travelling through the mountain roads.


3) Tour Transylvania to meet unique and talented people

5-reasons-you-should-tour-transylvania-halloween-staffMeet people with unique talents, such as an artist who uses spider webs to create amazing paintings. You will find that most locals are friendly and welcoming. A little piece of advice from us: if you are offered 'tuica', also known as water of fire, don't refuse it and don't complain that it's not strong enough. According to an old anecdote, this is the worst insult for a Transylvanian. While travelling through Transylvania, you will encounter traditional craftsmen. Everything they are selling is hand made by them, the way they were taught by their parents, who in turn learned their craft from their parents and so on.


4) Attend the best Halloween Parties

5-reasons-you-should-tour-transylvania-halloween-party-in-transylvaniaAre you looking for some fun? You are probably a Halloween Party veteran and you don't think you can be impressed anymore. On the other hand, maybe you are just looking for a special event you can attend with your friends on Halloween. Either way, we have the best proposal for you: not one, but two Halloween parties included in the same tour. You can book a Short Break with two Halloween Parties included even if you are not passionate about myths and history. Just enjoy the trip through Transylvania and then join us and party till you drop.

Our Halloween tours range from specific one or two day-tours designed to include at least one party to our Awarded 7-Days Halloween tour with two parties included. One of the parties is the Halloween Party in Sighisoara. It takes place in the Sighisoara medieval citadel and it includes the Ritual of Killing of a Living Dead. You can also attend the popular Halloween Party at Bran Castle, which includes a night tour of the edifice. Last, but not least, we can also provide access to the Halloween Party at Dracula's Castle Hotel in Borgo Pass. You can find more specific details on the tour pages (see links below).


5) Attend re-enactments of old Rituals

5-reasons-you-should-tour-transylvania-ritual-of-killing-a-living-deadTour Transylvania and discover old traditions and rituals. Among the many traditions of the Transylvanian people, one of the most famous, which we re-enact every year, is the Ritual of Killing of a Living Dead. Performed according to the old traditions, the ritual was used to slay 'strigoi' and allow the deceased's soul to pass away to the afterlife. We perform this Ritual in the summer, during the Vampire tours and during our Halloween Party in Sighisoara. Dare to join us! The more we are, the better our chances of defeating the evil spirits!
