Virtual Tour of Romania The Search for Dracula Begins… Happy travels!

Remember: There is more to Romania than the fictional tale of Dracula… But if it is Vlad Tepes who you are looking for… …continue through beautiful Romania to find the truth behind Bram Stoker’s creation

Romani People (commonly known as Gypsies)

Start your trip in the capital, Bucharest, for some modern history. Make a stop at the massive Parliament building. Gaze in awe at it’s grandeur.

As you head downtown, note this building. It was the former headquarters of Romania’s Secret Police (the Securitate).

Imagine…only twenty years ago… Romanian citizens fought for the overthrow of Communist dictator, Nicolaie Ceausescu. Many died. Envision that you are in these people’s shoes as you make your way to Revolution Square…

Revolution Square, Bucharest It is hard to imagine what a revolution looks like…

“Down with Ceausescu” In 1989, a sea of protesters make their way to the balcony to hear what would be the last speech of their Communist dictator. Revolution begins…

Today, this remains the site of the massive protests in Very close to Revolution Square is the infamous balcony where Ceausescu gave his final speech before his execution

Must See: Before you leave Bucharest, take in the architectural masterpiece that is the Russian Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas

Next stop: Brasov. A beautiful medieval city in the Transylvania region. Find accommodation in the picturesque ’old town’ and walk to the Main Square. Continue your search for Dracula… you are getting closer.

The narrowest street in all of Europe!

Day Trip from Brasov #1: Rasnov Fortress

Step back in time at Brasov Fortress…

Day Trip from Brasov #2: Bran (Dracula’s Castle) If it is the real Dracula you are looking for, you won’t find him here. But you are getting closer…

Congratulations! You have reached Sighisoara, birthplace of the real Dracula (Vlad “The Impaler” Dracul)

Famous representation of Vlad “The Impaler” Dracul

You have reached the end of your journey through Romania. Have a safe trip home !
