Transylvania is an exceptional place to bathe in a world of thrills as you explore Bran Castle. Legend has it that this mansion, erected in the 8th century, was surrounded by dark forests and was the home of Dracula.
To delve deeper into the past, visit the Royal Residence, which dates from 1914. Here, you'll find a set of period weapons and armor. Also, consider exploring the Rupea Fortress, which juts out above Brasov, an eponymous city surrounded by ramparts and embellished with cobblestone streets.
The Transylvania region also highlights the beauty and uniqueness of its villages related to the Middle Ages. As you pass through the Saxon town of Sighisoara, you will come across the famous Clock Tower. Various fortified churches are also nestled there. During your journey, remember to walk through the narrow streets of the medieval villages of Viscri and Alma Vii.
If you want to take a well-deserved break, stop by the Alexandru Borza Botanical Garden in the bustling city of Cluj-Napoca. The park has a botanical museum for the most curious.
Transylvania is also home to salt lakes that are suitable for swimming. These are in the heart of the Ocna Sibiului spa resort in Sibiu. Hiking through the Tihuta Pass or the Apuseni Mountains is also a great activity to discover the region's idyllic landscapes. ◄
