Captivating landscapes, Gothic castles and rustic country living
A land steeped in folklore and tradition, Transylvania invites you to explore captivating landscapes surrounded by the misty, brooding Carpathian Mountains, and ancient forests alive with diverse wildlife. Let your imagination take flight as you wander down stone streets beneath watchtowers and Gothic castles. Head out of the city and you’ll discover fortified Saxon villages and Hungarian Székely hamlets. In addition to getting your fill of vampire lore, spend some time in seemingly timeless rural communities where the pace of life is slower and the only traffic jams you’re bound to encounter are thanks to herds of goats.
While out in the countryside, hike or bike through Saxon villages to visit the Royal beekeeper, who is eager to share their secrets and passion for caring for these fascinating creatures with you. You’ll have the chance to sample different types of honey and other bee products. You might also like to visit a family that cultivates organic herbs and spices. Originally from Hungary, they’ve put down roots in the heart of Transylvania to grow, dry and package medicinal plants, many of which are used as teas and infusions. Explore their wonderful garden and hear all about the benefits of living in tune with nature.
Whether you’re discovering hidden parts of the city or exploring the misty crags and hills, Transylvania is truly a fairytale destination that captures the imagination.
