Dracula tour in Romania: your 8-day itinerary
This is the planned route, not a guaranteed timetable. Your agent confirms the order, access and pickup arrangements for your date.
Day 1: Arrival in Bucharest
Airport transfer and city introduction
Meet your guide for the agreed airport transfer and introductory city route. Sightseeing time depends on your arrival flight.
Day 2: Târgoviște, Bran and Brașov
Târgoviște Royal Court
Visit the former princely-court area and discuss its connections with Wallachian rulers. Tower and museum access are checked for your date.
Bran Castle (Dracula’s Castle)
Explore the fortress above Bran and its connection with Romanian royal history. The Dracula association belongs to the literary legend, not evidence that the fictional count lived here.
Brașov Old Town
Walk around Council Square, the Black Church area and the lanes below Tâmpa. A church interior visit is separate from the Old Town walk and depends on access.
Day 3: Sighișoara
Sighișoara Citadel
Walk through a lived-in UNESCO-listed historic centre, with guild towers and cobbled lanes. The Clock Tower, Covered Stairway and Church on the Hill can be discussed with your guide; interior visits depend on opening hours.
Day 4: Borgo Pass, Colibița and Bistrița
Literary landscape and lake stop
Explore the area associated with the Borgo Pass in Dracula’s fictional setting. The route also includes the Colibița area before the Bistrița overnight stage.
Day 5: Cluj-Napoca
Cluj-Napoca city visit
Explore the historic centre with your guide and agree any optional museum visits. Keep time for a meal and the next travel stage.
Day 6: Corvin Castle and Sibiu
Corvin Castle, Hunedoara
Approach the castle across its raised bridge and explore its courtyards and Gothic architecture. Your guide distinguishes documented history from the legends associated with the fortress.
Sibiu Old Town
Explore the Great and Small Squares, the Bridge of Lies and roof windows known as the city’s “eyes”. Museum interiors are distinct from the guided street walk.
Day 7: Poenari and Bucharest
Poenari Fortress area
Discuss the fortress’s historical association with Vlad the Impaler. Any climb requires confirmed access and an assessment of the steep approach; an interior or summit visit is not guaranteed.
Day 8: Departure
Airport transfer
Plan the transfer around your departure flight. Share the flight details before the itinerary is confirmed.
