Dracula tourism in Romania –  Brief Itinerary

Our English speaking guide collects you from your centrally located hotel in Bucharest. After that, head to Sighisoara Medieval Citadel, where Vlad the Impaler, also known as Dracula, was born. Accommodate in a 3* hotel with medieval allure.

The following day, continue your Dracula tourism in Romania with  Sighisoara Citadel and discover attractions such as the Clock Tower Museum or the Church on the Hill and then climb the covered staircase. After that, head for Bran Castle, the symbol of Transylvania. Thanks to Bram Stoker’s novel, Bran Castle is also known as Dracula’s Castle. Visit the castle and then drive to Rasnov Citadel. If you manage to arrive while it’s still open, you will be able to visit the citadel. Otherwise, you will only admire it from the outside.

After that, drive to the Medieval Saxon City from Brasov. Go on a city tour and admire the medieval buildings. Out of these, one stands out: the Black Church. The most famous landmark of Brasov, the church got its name after a fire erupted and then blackened its walls before it was extinguished. Finish your tour of Brasov and then accommodate in a 3* hotel.

Enjoy a good night’s sleep and then head for Bucharest. If you have to reach your flight, our guide will drop you off at the airport. However, if you plan on extending your stay, we can arrange for drop-off at your booked hotel instead.

Advice for Australians traveling abroad

According with Australian government the following advice are to be followed:

Before you go

• Confirm your passport is valid for 6 months from when you think your trip will end. Don’t get stranded.
• Get comprehensive travel insurance to cover you and your gear. Get insurance that’s right for you and covers your activities in the places you’ll go. Remember, regardless of how healthy and fit you are, if you can’t afford travel insurance, you can’t afford to travel.
• Consider your physical and mental health. Get advice from your doctor if you’re unsure.
• See your doctor or travel clinic 8 weeks before you go for a basic health check
• Check if your medication is legal and available in the places you’re going. Take enough of your prescribed medicines to last the whole trip. Carry copies of your prescription and a letter from your doctor.
• Tell your bank you’re travelling and check if your cards will work. Have several payment options.
• If you’ll drive overseas check out the local traffic laws and practices. You’re likely to need an International Driving Permit (IDP) as well as your Australian driver’s licence.
• Share your itinerary with friends or family members. Give them copies of your passport

Travel insurance

Holidays don’t always go as planned. If you’re going overseas, travel insurance is as important as a passport. Without it, you or your family could suffer financially if things go wrong. No matter who you are, where you’re going and what you’re doing, get insurance.

Travel insurance is especially important if you need medical assistance. Healthcare overseas can be very expensive. Most countries won’t give you free care, or subsidise the cost of your care. You, or your insurer, must usually pay full price.

Travel Advice for Australians visiting Romania

Safety

Keep your personal belongings close. Lock hotel and train compartment doors from the inside.

Drink spiking is an issue, especially in Bucharest’s Old Town. Don’t accept food, drinks, gum or cigarettes from people you’ve just met.

Dating and marriage scams occur.

Only use ATMs in banks, shops and shopping centres, especially at night. Always keep your credit card in sight. Be wary of people you’ve met online.

Local laws

Penalties for drug offences are severe. They can include jail sentences of up to 20 years.

By law, you must always carry photo ID. Keep your passport in a safe place. Carry a photocopy.

It’s illegal to take photos of airports, military sites or other secure locations.

It’s illegal to engage in sex work or have sexual relations with a person under 18.

Same-sex relationships are legal in Romania, but not widely accepted.

Local contacts

The Australian Consulate in Bucharest provides limited consular and passport assistance.

You can get full consular help from the Australian Embassy in Athens.

"text": "The dress code in Romania is the same as all over Europe (think France, Germany, UK or Italy). Wearing jeans, t-shirts/sweatshirts and athletic shoes is standard casual in Romanian. Plenty of designers’ shops are to be found in major cities: Bucharest, Cluj, Brasov, Sibiu, where people are a bit too pretentious when it comes to their outfits. Dorobanti Boulevard in Bucharest can easily be compared to Chaps Elysees in Paris when it comes to “fashionists” (costs are similar too). The malls are well supplied with designers’ clothes and with respect to the prices, a great deal of our clients found the Romanian costs to be more acceptable then the ones in US. With regards to the restaurants’ dress code, something casual is sufficient. You can wear whatever you would wear at home. To satisfy dress codes for churches and monasteries, men and women are requested to cover their arms and legs (no shorts above the knees or sleeveless garments)."
