Bucharest to Transylvania, Dracula Castle and BRASOV Trip by Eddie
A must-do day trip when visiting Romania, a unique private tour by Eddie
This Bucharest to Transylvania, Dracula Castle and Brasov Day Trip is the very popular in Romania today. In a single day you have the chance to explore maybe the most famous castle in the world - Bran Castle, and a charming Transylvanian medieval town, Brasov.
Bran Castle was initially a medieval fortress and later on a lovely summer residence owned by The Queen Marie of Romania. Moreover, Bran Castle became the very famous Dracula's Castle for many reasons, a strong one beeing Bram Stoker's novel, "Dracula". Therefore, we are talking about a 650 years old castle placed on a cliff, somewhere in South Eastern Transylvania, a land full of legends and ancestral beliefs about a variety of evil creatures.
Brasov, a typical Transylvanian medieval town, placed at the mountain foot. Here you'll see the Black Church - the largest gothic church in this part of Europe. Moreover, this beautiful town has some connections with Vlad the Impaler - Dracula.
Welcome to Transylvania! Ha ha ha ha haaaa...
