5 best things to do in Transylvania
There are several amazing things you can do in Transylvania. Visit us during Halloween or during any other time of the year and you will be received with open arms. Discover old Transylvanian traditions, meet unique craftsmen and learn all the dark legends surrounding Dracula.
1) The best things to do in Transylvania are related to vampires
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 undoubtedly 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, one of the best things to do in Transylvania is visiting 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) Admire the beautiful landscapes - one of the best things to do in Transylvania
 Beyond 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) Great Things to do in Transylvania include meeting unique and talented people
 Meet 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
 Are 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. What are the best things to do in Transylvania?! 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) Exciting things to do in Transylvania: Attend re-enactments of old Rituals
 Tour
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!
