Day 3: Sighisoara-Brasov-Bran-Sinaia (210 km)
In the morning take a
walking city tour of Sighisoara,
the best-preserved medieval town in Romania. You will visit the famous
Clock Tower Museum, The Armour Room and The Torture Room, then the
house where Count Dracula/Vlad the Impaler was born in 1431. You will
finish your tour by visiting the Church
on the Hill. Depart for Brasov
where Vlad’s enemies – the rich Saxon merchants – lived. The Saxon settlers founded the fairy-tale town of Brasov in
the 12th century and it still preserves its beautiful medieval atmosphere
created by many Middle Age buildings. The highlight of the city tour is
surely a visit to the Black Church,
the largest gothic style church in South-Eastern Europe.
Your next stop will be Bran where
you’ ll visit the Bran Castle
– made famous by Bram Stoker's novel as the residence
of the vampire count. The castle was built by the merchants from Brasov,
in the 14th century, to protect the border between Valahia and
Transylvania. Continue
