Overview

Bucharest – Targoviste – Bran – Hosman – Sighisoara – Brasov – Snagov – Bucharest

In the land beyond the forest, where mysteries are in their natural habitat, Transylvania, lies one of the most popular legends ever told. In this eerie chapter of discovery, we’ll juggle fact and fiction to discover more about the infamous story of Count Dracula.

You will be surrounded by a sense of mystery and be enchanted by Dracula’s land, whether you are exploring the enigmatic chambers of Bran Castle, the so-called Count Dracula’s home, or strolling through the streets of Sighisoara, where he was born. Vlad Dracul, also known as Vlad Tepes (Vlad the Impaler), ruled Wallachia from 1456 to 1462 and served as the model for Bram Stoker’s fictitious character “Dracula.”

Be brave and follow the clues. Who knows what you’ll be rewarded with?

– Bucharest: the capital and largest city of Romania, as well as its cultural, industrial, and financial center.

– Targoviste (The Royal Court): the first capital of Wallachia. The city is well-known for the Night Attack, during which Vlad defeated the Ottomans.

– The Royal Court of Targoviste: is an architectural complex built in Romania between the 15th and 17th centuries.

– Bran: a commune in the county of Brasov, where the infamous Bran Castle is located.

– Sighisoara: the mystical place where Prince Vlad was born.
