A day of Legends and History: From Sibiu to Bran Castle and Brasov

It all begins early in the morning in the heart of Sibiu, where the cobblestone streets are already buzzing with the promise of adventure. After a hearty breakfast, you set out on your journey, eager to explore the mysterious legend of Dracula and the enchanting beauty of Transylvania.

Leaving Sibiu in the morning, we heading southwest toward Bran Village. After about two hours, you arrive at the legendary Bran Castle, often called “Dracula’s Castle.” The panoramic views of the Carpathian Mountains surrounding the castle create a breathtaking backdrop for your exploration. You listen to tales of Vlad the Impaler, the historical figure who inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and soak in the gothic architecture that adds an aura of mystery to your visit.

Lunch awaits in a cozy restaurant in the quaint Council Square, where you indulge in local Romanian delicacies. In the afternoon, you stroll through the medieval streets, climbing up to Tampa Mountain for panoramic views of the city and surrounding mountains. You visit the Black Church, a marvel at the Gothic architecture. As the day draws to an end, you reflect on the stories, sceneries, and history you’ve absorbed. The magic of Transylvania, with its castles, legends, and picturesque towns, leaves a lasting impression.

With the sun setting, you make your way back to Sibiu, gazing out the window at the twinkling lights of the Transylvanian landscape.
