🧛 Dracula Tour in Romania
An 8-day private journey following the footsteps of Vlad the Impaler and Bram Stoker's Dracula across Romania
🧭 Why Choose This Tour?
🗺️ 8-Day Itinerary
Your guide welcomes you at the airport and transfers you to your hotel. Enjoy a private tour of Bucharest with a short introduction to the legend of Dracula. Discover who Vlad the Impaler was and his connection to Romania's capital. In the evening, explore the animated pubs and restaurants of the Old Town.
Visit the Royal Court of Vlad the Impaler in Târgoviște. See the Chindiei Tower, once used as a prison during Vlad's reign. Then cross into Transylvania and visit Bran Castle — the medieval fortress perched on a steep rock that inspired Bram Stoker's novel. End the day with a tour of medieval Brașov's narrow streets.
A day of fairytales in Sighișoara — not only the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler but also a stunning medieval citadel. Visit the house where Vlad Dracul (the Dragon), Vlad's father, lived and where his son was reportedly born. Explore the colorful streets and romantic atmosphere of this UNESCO site.
Step into Bram Stoker's story. The Borgo Pass is where the author placed Dracula's castle in an enchanting, wild landscape near Bistrița. Explore this wild corner of nature, relax by Colibița Lake, and recharge with pure mountain energy. Spend the night in Bistrița — you can choose the Golden Krone Hotel, inspired by Stoker's novel where Jonathan Harker spent his last night before meeting the vampire.
Enter the modern world with a visit to Cluj-Napoca, one of Romania's most vibrant cities. When Jonathan Harker came to visit Count Dracula, he spent his first night here. Today the city looks completely different, but you can still admire old buildings and cobbled streets while tasting a "paprikás csirke" — the traditional recipe Harker enjoyed — in one of the many restaurants.
Back in the footsteps of Vlad the Impaler — visit Corvin Castle, one of Europe's most beautiful medieval castles, where Vlad was locked in prison. In the afternoon, arrive in Sibiu for a guided tour of this medieval gem. End the day relaxing in one of the cafés in the Big Square.
Head back to Bucharest, but not before admiring the ruins of Poenari Fortress — the real castle of Vlad the Impaler, perched dramatically on a cliff above the Argeș River. Back in Bucharest, rest at your hotel or make a final visit to the Old Town.
Say goodbye to Romania and Dracula. Review all the incredible places you've visited and the memories you've made. Your guide takes you to the airport in time for your flight home.
