Discover Transylvania - In a venture to discover
Transylvania
Discover Transylvania further on by reaching one of the medieval cities,
Sibiu, the 2007 European Capital of Culture. Exploring Sibiu will lead you to
the Large and Little Square, the legends of the Bridge of Lies and the
Lutheran Cathedral.
It would be a pity not to also see Cozia Monastery down south from Sibiu, the
most visited religious site in Romania. Cozia will lead you to Poenari Castle,
once Vlad the Impaler’s residence. To return from this little detour,
Transfagarasan highway, the best road in the whole world, is at your service.
When discovering Transylvania, Brasov and its surroundings are a must-see.
The mountainous Brasov is another one of the medieval cities that has
always attracted tourists with its most prized possessions: the Black Church,
the White Tower, the Council Square, Rupe Street and the belvedere from
Tampa Mountain.
Orbiting around Brasov, there is a great deal of other medieval landmarks.
The Citadel of Rasnov, the Bran Castle which is probably the most famous
castle in Transylvania for its connections to Bram Stoker’s “Count Dracula”
and the astounding architecture of Peles Castle in Sinaia where the Royal
family lived, are all close to each other.
If you feel like you’ve already discovered Transylvania, wait, there’s more.
Pass by Prejmer Fortified Church, because it’s the largest one in Southeastern
Europe and then, don’t forget about the last of the medieval town,
Sighisoara, for it’s an UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Covered Stairs will
lead you to the Hill Church and back to the Clock Tower. Here is also the last
vampire-aficionado exhibit, Dracula’s House.
Isn’t it worth it?
