About this experience

Nestled in the heart of Romania, Transylvania is a land that feels like it was plucked from the pages of a fairytale. With its misty mountains, medieval towns, and storybook villages, it’s a region that seduces travelers with both mystery and charm.

Castles & Legends : Home to the iconic Bran Castle—often linked to Dracula lore—Transylvania is steeped in gothic romance and historical intrigue.
Medieval Magic: Cities like Brașov and Sighișoara boast cobbled streets, fortified churches, and pastel-hued houses that echo centuries of Saxon, Hungarian, and Romanian heritage.
Nature’s Playground: The Carpathian Mountains cradle ancient forests, glacial lakes, and wildlife like brown bears and lynxes. It’s one of Europe’s last great wildernesses.
Slow Travel Bliss: In villages like Viscri and Biertan, time slows down. Horse-drawn carts, hand-painted houses, and homemade cheese offer a taste of rural authenticity.
