Join us for a heartfelt 3-day private journey from Brașov, where you'll dive deep into the captivating stories and legends of Transylvania. This trip is not just about visiting historical sites; it's about connecting with the rich tapestry of culture and folklore that makes this region so unique.
Your adventure begins with the iconic Bran Castle, often referred to as "Dracula's Castle." As you explore its Gothic chambers, you will uncover fascinating tales tied to Bram Stoker’s legendary character. The soaring walls and shadowy corridors bring to life the eerie lore surrounding Vlad the Impaler, a figure whose history is both haunting and integral to the region's identity. Next, we’ll take a scenic drive to the stunning hilltop Rupea Fortress, where you can marvel at panoramic views that stretch across the countryside. This fortress, built in the 14th century, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing a time when it served as a crucial stronghold against invaders. We’ll continue our journey to the enchanting village of Viscri, where the charming whitewashed walls and red-roofed towers invite you to wander through its rustic streets. As you visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed church, you’ll feel the warmth of the community that has preserved this beautiful slice of history through generations. In Sighişoara, another UNESCO gem, you’ll walk along cobblestone streets that echo with stories of the past. Here, you'll learn about Vlad the Impaler, but you'll also experience the town’s vibrant spirit and charm. Feel free to relax at a local café and soak in the atmosphere as you explore this medieval town with our guide. We want your experience to be comfortable, so you’ll spend a night in a cozy guesthouse in Sighişoara or nearby, allowing you to rest and reflect on the day’s adventures.
The following day brings a new chapter as we visit Biertan and the captivating city of Sibiu, where you’ll experience the rich cultural legacy that once made it the capital of the Transylvanian Saxon towns. As you wander through its streets, you’ll see why Sibiu is celebrated as a Cultural Capital of Europe, with landmarks that tell stories of innovation and heritage. Finally, we’ll make our way to Corvin Castle, a magnificent Gothic-Renaissance structure that truly takes your breath away. After this enriching exploration, we’ll return to Brașov, but rest assured that the memories and stories of Transylvania will stay with you long after the journey ends. We look forward to sharing this unforgettable experience with you, one that we hope will resonate in your heart for years to come.
