Day 3: Brasov – Bran Dracula's Castle – Sighisoara: In the footsteps of Count Dracula!

This day is dedicated to Bran Castle, well known as Dracula's Castle. The castle came to be connected with the legend of Dracula the Vampire. It was built between 1377 and 1382, on a 60 m high rock with a strategic, military and commercial purpose. The building has four towers positioned at the four cardinal points. The walls are made of stone blocks, the rooms and narrow corridors constitute a mysterious labyrinth of ghostly nooks and secret chambers, whilst in the inner courtyard there are artesian wells, connected to an underground network. The castle had both a military and a customs point purpose.

After that, we move forward to Sighisoara citadel - Europe's best preserved medieval town!

Highlights include: Guild Tower, Venetian House (built in the 13th Century), Vlad the Impaler (Dracula)'s House, Antler House, Wood Covered Staircase, Hill Church, Hermann Oberth Square and the famous Clock Tower (Council Tower) built in the 14th century. The tower has seven foot thicks walls and was used to store ammunition, food reserves, archives and the city's treasures.
