Transylvania, literally the ‘land beyond the forest’, is a wooded, intensely romantic region steeped in myths and legends.

A rural paradise, Bram Stoker called it ‘one of the wildest and least known parts of Europe’ and created the immortal Dracula from its reputation.

The Bradt guide details the many attractions of this warm and hospitable region – considered by many as the most beautiful in Eastern Europe.  It covers popular tourist options such as staying in a Transylvanian castle, hiking trails, bear tracking, horse-cart driving plus Dracula, wildlife, cultural and historical tours.
