Transylvania is a wild, wooded, intensely romantic region, filled with mountains, gorges and valleys, myths and legends, dragons, bears, wolves and vampires.
This guide covers a whole range of attractions and gives full details of all practicalities such as accommodation, eating out and transport around this little-known region.
Discover old Saxon merchants' towns such as Brasov, Sibiu, Cluj, Medias and Sebes.
Gaze in awe at the impressive citadels of Sigisoara, Brasov, Hunedoara, Deva, Rasnov and Bran.
Learn the truth behind Bram Stoker's Dracula myth and where to find Dracula-inspiring locations.
Find out more about Vlad III Tepes (the 'Impaler') a prince of Wallachia, who liked to skewer his victims on a stake...
The villages of the historic Szekely region have been untouched for centuries, and there are many Dacian and Roman ruins to explore.
Sports enthusiasts will find many gorgeous locations in which to ski, hike, ride horses, ramble, kayak and canoe.
Nature lovers can go bear tracking, follow wolf prints, watch birds and discover many endangered species of flora and fauna in the last surviving example of a genuine, unspoilt Medieval landscape.
