Transylvania is a wild, wooded, intensely romantic region, filled with mountains, gorges and valleys, myths and legends, dragons, bears, wolves and vampires. This guide covers a whole range of attractions and gives full details of practicalities - accommodation, eating out and transport. Discover old Saxon merchants' towns such as Braşov, Sibiu, Cluj, Medias and Sebes; impressive citadels like Sighisoara, Bran and Hunedoara and the truth behind the Dracula myth. The villages of the historic Szekely region have been untouched for centuries, and there are many Dacian and Roman ruins to explore.

 

• A comprehensive guide covering travel practicalities as well as the history and culture of this region famed as the root of the Dracula legend

• Special features on skiing, hiking, caving, horseriding, and wine tasting

 • Transylvania’s art and architectural heritage, from restored buildings to historic castles, medieval towns to painted churches and preserved folk villages
