Close your eyes and picture in your mind Transylvania. It is typically displayed in the movies as a cold, dreary and mystical place with dark overtones tucked away in the Carpathian Mountain range. This is a perfect resting place for the vampires and werewolves hunting for its prey. The Halloween moon is disguised by the reddish glow of the witchy clouds. The echoes of howling wolves break the silence of the crisp air. 

Transylvania is the largest region in Romania and probably the most well known. It is rich in history and scenic beauty. Spend a ghoulish week in the heart of Eastern Europe’s unholy land. Enjoy a haunted holiday that is scary, entertaining and informative. Spend the night in Dracula’s castle and participate in a masquerade ball and gala. The guide will reveal the secrets, facts and myths of one of the most infamous haunted haunts the world has to offer.

Transylvania is home to some of the most preserved medieval towns, most notably Brasov featuring Old Saxon architecture and Citadel ruins. Sibiu is like a scene out of an old Frankenstein movie with its gaslight lit street lamps on its cobblestone streets and pastel colored houses. Sighisoara has the wicked 14^th century clock tower and secret passage ways that link to a world of treachery.  There are stunning castles such as Bran. It is a gothic fairytale structure and the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

Climb mountains, explore spooky villages tattered with history. Transylvania has an appeal unlike any place on earth. Spend the ghostly holiday in this the world’s most infamous stomping grounds of the spooks.
