Dracula Weekend in Transylvania: Bran, Brasov, Rasnov, Sighisoara |
|
|
The legend of Dracula comes alive in this tour through the castles and cobwebs of Transylvania
| Overview | |
|
The dark forests, shadowy alleys, and menacing castles of Romania are the stuff of literary horror. This spine-tingling tour takes you to Bran Castle, whose striking hilltop appearance formed the basis for the myth of Dracula, and later became the summer retreat of a queen. The Sighisoara Citadel is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and was the birthplace of a dark prince whose brutality gave rise to the legend of Dracula. . Take a city tour of Brasov, and visit a massive church with walls black as night. Overnight in the heart of two spookily charming medieval cities, where the ghouls of the gothic tradition seem more real than ever.
