Highlights
Outing Highlights
Bran Castle and Brasov’s medieval heart
Visit Bran Castle and take a walking tour of Brasov’s historic core—one of the anchor experiences on a route that frames Romania’s medieval architecture and vampire lore.
Poenari Citadel — the real ‘Dracula’s’ fortress
Ascend to Poenari Citadel, the true stronghold associated with Vlad the Impaler, a raw, hilltop ruin that contrasts with the more curated castle sites.
Sighisoara — Europe’s last inhabited citadel
Explore Sighisoara, the well‑preserved citadel often cited as Vlad’s birthplace, where medieval streets and towers give the tour its strongest sense of living history.
