Transylvania – Castles, Fortresses & Saxon Villages
Transylvania – The Heart of Romania’s Legends and Landscapes
Transylvania is the most iconic and diverse region of Romania—famous for its medieval cities, castles, Saxon villages, and breathtaking mountain landscapes. But beyond the legends lies a deeply authentic, welcoming world filled with history, nature, and tradition.
Medieval Cities & Hidden Fortresses
Explore the charm of Sibiu, Brasov, Cluj-Napoca, and Sighișoara, each with its unique mix of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture. Visit fortified churches like Biertan and Prejmer, or hilltop fortresses like Râșnov.
Villages That Feel Like Time Stopped
Villages such as Viscri, Rimetea, and Cisnădioara preserve Saxon heritage, with cobbled lanes, fortified churches, and brightly colored homes. In these places, you’ll find slow travel at its best—local food, handmade crafts, and a deep connection to the land.
Nature & The Carpathians
Transylvania is surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains, offering stunning hiking trails, alpine roads like the Transfăgărășan and Transalpina, and wildlife-rich forests. Discover glacial lakes, caves, and remote sheepfolds with epic views.
Myths, Castles & Mystique
Follow the legends to Bran Castle, linked to Dracula, or visit the fairy-tale Peleș Castle in Sinaia. While the vampire story may attract tourists, the true magic of Transylvania lies in its atmosphere—foggy hills, quiet valleys, and timeless towns.
