Dracula Halloween Tour in Romania
by: Mike O'Rourke, - Posted 01/02/07
Poenari Castle |
What a perfect and unique way to discover Halloween with Go Romania Tours! In the home of the real life Dracula, Vlad Tepes himself. Only one time a year this tour is offered in Romania and reservations are now being accepted. A specialist local tour guide, born and raised in Transylvania, will take you on a trip to see the many monuments, castles, and medieval towns relating to Dracula. Some true to the historic figure Vlad "Impaler" Tepes, some fictional according to Bram Stoker's novel, and others still uncertain. Take a journey through the mystical and enchanting Transylvania, Dracula's lair!!
Highlights of the Halloween tour include some of Romania's most prized sights. Such as Bran Castle (dubbed Dracula's Castle), Sighisoara (the Birthplace of the Real Dracula), Poenari Castle (Dracula's Real Castle), Borgo Pass (The fictional route to Dracula's Castle), and such medieval towns as Brasov and Sibiu. We have also planned some special dinner's, such as Club Dracula in Bucharest, Dinner in the birthplace of Dracula (Sighisoara), a Dracula show with dinner in Castle Dracula Hotel, and a special dinner by camp fire in Bran; with traditional plum brandy, bacon, home made sausages, all fried on the camp fire with red wine.
Starting off in Bucharest where you will be met by your English speaking tour guide at the international airport. On the way to your hotel enjoy a basic tour of the city. For tonight's dinner you will be welcomed to "Club Dracula" to enjoy an amusing evening in this unique restaurant. The atmosphere soaks up the with Dracula lovers, both the fictional Bram Stoker's character to the Vlad himself, from the servers to the plates and even the wall paper.
The next day we are off to Poenari Castle, which is referred to as the real Dracula Castle. Now in ruins this castle sits on a cliff which demands a hike up the 1,400 stairs to reach the top. This is where the famous scene took place when Dracula's wife flung herself from the window into the murk waters opting death over being captured by the Turks. It is said that Vlad escaped by horse back through the mountain during this ferocious attack.
Then onto Sighisoara, the birth place of Dracula. This ancient citadel is among one of the only still inhabited in Europe. An appropriate stay for Halloween night. This evening you can take in the festivities planned for your special night (costumes, masks, fangs, fake blood, etc...). The next morning a tour of the citadel is planned.
We will then travel through Borgo pass - the fictional path used in the novel to reach Count Dracula's home of residence. Its dramatic scenery, with huge hills draped in forests of fir trees and villages appearing as living monuments to a way of life unchanged for centuries. At the end of the road we will come to Hotel Dracula where you will be staying for the night. The Hotel dates from 1983, built in the style of a medieval mansion, it was created to bring alive an authentic Dracula atmosphere.
 Bran Castle |
The next morning we will head to Bran Castle, often referred to as "Dracula Castle". Although in history it is said he may have set foot in the residence once during a siege of the castle. Despite these allegations this is one of the most picturesque castles in the country. Built by the Saxons in 1300's in a setting surrounded by forest and hills.
Lastly but not least is a visit to Snagov Monastery, where they say the tomb of Dracula lays. To visit you must cross the kilometer long lake by boat. Vlad's murder is believed to have occurred in the forests nearby, where the monks took the his body, since both Vlad and his father had both given money to the monastery.
Your specialist tour guide will assure that all the elements of Halloween be included on this tour from start to finish. Don't miss out on this opportunity to discover the myth and the truth of the "Legend of Dracula" in mythical Romania
Halloween with Dracula in his Homeland of Transylvania!!
