#Transylvania has long occupied the darker recesses of human imagination. Its fog-draped mountains and medieval castles inspired gothic novelist Bram Stoker, which resulted in the creation of his greatest villain, Count Dracula. His famous literary work caused an influx of tourism into this time-forgotten part of the world.

However, travelers who #explore Transylvania’s stirring landscapes #discover more than just shadowy folklore. After enduring a long and bloody tug of war, Transylvania is now made up of a tapestry of cultures. Admire the shimmering Hungarian murals adorning the walls of the Targu Mures Cultural Palace. Roam among the crumbling ruins of Rasnov Fortress, where the Teutonic Knights defended against Turkish and Tartar invasion. And of course, wander the dark passageways and windswept ramparts of Bran Castle, Stoker’s inspiration for Dracula’s clifftop lair.

Whatever your pace, a #vacation to Transylvania will be sure to leave you completely captivated with this part of Eastern Europe.

For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

    Transylvania is best known as a fog-draped landscape of vampires and howling wolves, but our crew discovered so much more when they ventured to this time-forgotten region of Romania.

    Romania is one of the most beautiful and mystical country in Europe where traditions, thousands of years of history, legends, myths are harmoniously intertwined with well-preserved nature with many architectural treasures, sustainable architecture with a variety of styles and influences, with a rich culture and a proud nation. Long live Romania! 🇷🇴❤️

    I have visited Transylvania and I can confirm that the place is just as beautiful and majestic (if not more) as shown in this video. The landscapes in Romania are a sight to behold! Well done to Expedia for shining a light on this gem of a country.

  • @thepianisttt
    It's most definitely on my top 10 travel list!!!!!!!!!! The greenery is unbelievable and each town has its own beauty that draws you in.......! It's a very contemporary country yet at the same time you can still feel all of the history, the myths and legends of long ago........!!!!!!!!! I'd rather visit Bucharest than Paris medieval cities have their own magic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Much love from Greece!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I’m so glad that Expedia posted this guide! Transylvania is still such an underrated destination and needs this kind of promotion. Thanks Expedia, as always you did a an amazing job with this one. I would only add Turda salt mine between Cluj and Targu Mures. It’s worth a stop.
