#Transylvania has long occupied the darker recesses of human imagination. Its fog-draped mountains and medieval castles inspired gothic novelist Bram Stoker, which resulted in the creation of his greatest villain, Count Dracula. His famous literary work caused an influx of tourism into this time-forgotten part of the world.
However, travelers who #explore Transylvania’s stirring landscapes #discover more than just shadowy folklore. After enduring a long and bloody tug of war, Transylvania is now made up of a tapestry of cultures. Admire the shimmering Hungarian murals adorning the walls of the Targu Mures Cultural Palace. Roam among the crumbling ruins of Rasnov Fortress, where the Teutonic Knights defended against Turkish and Tartar invasion. And of course, wander the dark passageways and windswept ramparts of Bran Castle, Stoker’s inspiration for Dracula’s clifftop lair.
Whatever your pace, a #vacation to Transylvania will be sure to leave you completely captivated with this part of Eastern Europe.
For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

Forgot another gem peles castle
I'm Romanian and am proud of Transylvania. It's such a mysterious and fairytale-like place.
How is it for tourists with the language barrier do you know? 😊
@@kirstymeadowcroft2371 Speaking for Romania as a whole, not just for Transylvania, young people are good with English since it's taught in school and of course with being on the internet. Less so for the older people but they will be happy to help with what they can, and considering Transylvania is the main attraction for tourists you should have no problems with communication.
I love your country!
@@kirstymeadowcroft2371 Do not worry, you will be fine there.
ARE YOU PROUD FOR STEALING TRANSYLVANIA?
Nem, Nem, Soha!!!
Romania is one of the most beautiful and mystical country in Europe where traditions, thousands of years of history, legends, myths are harmoniously intertwined with well-preserved nature with many architectural treasures, sustainable architecture with a variety of styles and influences, with a rich culture and a proud nation. Long live Romania! 🇷🇴❤️
Such a beautiful country, rich and dramatic history.Romanians stood firm during difficult times, keeping ther families and homes in one place, bravely.May the time of peace and prosperity last forever. Great to have you as neighbours. Long live Romania !
Greetings from Serbia
Thanks man. Greetings from Romania!
Wow, I am Romanian so these words are so nice! Greeting from Romania!
@Obergruppenstuppentruppensturmfuhrer SuperStuka you say so? Then why 90% of Transylvania's population is Romanian and even when Transylvania was in Austria-hungary the majority was Romanian people because they were there waaaaaaaay before hungarians came in
@Obergruppenstuppentruppensturmfuhrer SuperStuka You claim this based on what? The most visited cultural sites in Transylvania are romanian:
1. Corvin Castle (the castle of a romanian knight who became ruler of Transylvania and then Hungary, in the service of the Holy Roman Emperor).
2. The famous romanian wooden churches, which stand toe to toe with the scandinavian ones as some of the most well preserved and beautiful in the world.
3. The merry cemetery, with it's painted depictions of the desceased's life and a mocking attitude to death, from Maramures is again romanian.
Sure, the hungarians and germans also contributed a lot but to say romanians have no cultural contribution here is just hateful senseless bait.
@László Gyurica why was the one in 1941 the last "fair" census? Just because there were a lot of hungarians back then?
Probably most underrated country in Europe.Romania is stunning place to visit. Cheers from Poland
There are some wonderful looking places in Transylvania! - and Romania in general.
Transylvania is the most beautiful, dark and mysterious place on this planet. Love from India !!!!
I have visited Transylvania and I can confirm that the place is just as beautiful and majestic (if not more) as shown in this video. The landscapes in Romania are a sight to behold! Well done to Expedia for shining a light on this gem of a country.
Transylvanua is a part of Hungary.It eas just stolen by Romania.Everything was built bx us.Hungarians.
@Guardian Lion I mean.all the builduingsand the medieval churches were built by us,Hungarians. Nature was created by God if course. Hungary has been bleeding since it was mutilated iand crucified n 1920.by the Treaty of Trianon in France.
@Guardian Lion bro dont give him attention, its just some nationalist
@@malna0202 Transylvania was, is and will be forever a part of Romania!
@@malna0202 Get lost !!!
Transilvania is unique!!!❤
Saludos from an argentinian immigrant
I am from Bangladesh,, What a beautiful country !!!
I had an opportunity to live in Sibiu around 10 months. I visited Brasov and Sighisoara. Soooo magicallll, particularly Sighisoara. Medievallll cityyyy 🇷🇴🎒
"Transylvania is inmortal" the last worlds.
It was incredible!
@@bujdososzekely why you don't wanna travel back to india,your homeland...is interesting too
we will never visit !
Justmenell , my homland is Szekelyfold ( Szekelyland , Transylvania ) !
@@bujdososzekely then...speak romanian...because Transilvania is in Romania,man..
about szekeluifold or how you name it nobody knows or cares..somewhere in asia... perhaps?
@@bujdososzekely what about when, at the Big Union of Romania, a Romanian was attaked by some frustrated hungarians like you in Targu Mures and anywhere in the press it was said that it was the romanian who attaked hungarians, and when they found out that he was actually romanian attaked by hungarians, everybody in the press stopped talking about that and he even got expelled from a hospital in hungary just because he actually was romanian attaked by hungarians

I live in Transylvania and I am proud!! ❤️🔥🧛🏼♀️
Lucky you - looks a great place to live.
Beautiful country
It's most definitely on my top 10 travel list!!!!!!!!!! The greenery is unbelievable and each town has its own beauty that draws you in.......! It's a very contemporary country yet at the same time you can still feel all of the history, the myths and legends of long ago........!!!!!!!!! I'd rather visit Bucharest than Paris medieval cities have their own magic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Much love from Greece!!!!!!!!!!!
The way Expedia featured destinations from fairytale to scary then back to fairytale is a beautiful mess. I must say Expedia you are outdoing yourself, nice job! Transylvania looks really interesting!
Just want to pack my bags and go travelling now...
Don't worry after virus is GONE FROM EARTH
Me too
I’m so glad that Expedia posted this guide! Transylvania is still such an underrated destination and needs this kind of promotion. Thanks Expedia, as always you did a an amazing job with this one. I would only add Turda salt mine between Cluj and Targu Mures. It’s worth a stop.
Transylvania is amazing! Such an incredible country România..
@Obergruppenstuppentruppensturmfuhrer SuperStuka dude chill, u sound like a hillbilly
@Obergruppenstuppentruppensturmfuhrer SuperStuka another pissed Hungarian that thinks Transylvania is not part of Romania :). God, I feel sorry for this muggle
Obergruppenstuppentruppensturmfuhrer SuperStuka That’s why Romania is better than Hungary xD (Better in : Economic & Personal freedom, Quality of life and Standard of Living, Bucharest is more developed than Budapest (according to HDI) )
@@mariopopa1350Half of territory of Rumania has been stolen from Hungary🤫🇭🇺✌🏻...
I'm romanian and I'm so proud of this video!!!!!! I'm so proud that I'm romanian
@Obergruppenstuppentruppensturmfuhrer SuperStuka go and be frustrated in hungaria bro, you are calling us gypsies (even tho gypsies are 3% of all the Romania's population, less than 3,6 or something like that in hungary) because you just can't take the truth with Transylvania, it was ours, then austro hungarians stole it and we got it back, and that's the international truth
Transylvania was, is, and always will be a beautiful Romanian landmark. Nosferatu agrees ;)
I would love to go there one day
Are there vampires where you live
@@ladistar somehow, of course it s just a legend 😅
Romania is now on my travel check list ✅
Transylvania is now on ur travel check list, not romania. The rest of romania is ugly as hell... And dont asociate us with romanians. We have more things in common with Germany, Hungary and Austria than Romania...
probably the gentleman below is from hungary ... :))
on the contrary..the rest of Romania is gorgeous..superb and gorgeous again.
it is one of the few countries in Europe where traditions are preserved and people are still good and friendly.
the rest you hear on TV or in the newspapers is ... a joke.
without exaggerating..what Romania has are only 2..3 countries in EUROPE.
Just google search :)
ahh..search for MARK WIENS IN ROMANIA
@@anitaptk the video from Mark Wines was from Transylvania
@@anitaptk and im not hungarian, im Half german, half romanian...
@@David-ym5xw Romania is beautiful and you must know that! The Romans invented the pen, the first plane, the jet plane, the cure for Cholera and Tuberculosis and many others are also a lot of beautiful places and I want to remind you that, before Bucharest was called little Paris. I would like to note that Romania had at one point 1 leu = 1euro. So in conclusion you need to be better informed and know that Romania is a fabulous country!
The magic, the darkness and the mysteries....... That's enough to keep me busy on a holiday!
I am from Romania and I must say that Transylvania is an amazing and mysterious region!
Secrets In The Oven - Food Channel I want to visit romania
@@susikhaidem4062 That's great! :)
Secrets In The Oven - Food Channel thank u
@@SecretsInTheOvenFoodChannel hey can you tell me when will be the best time to visit ???
@@debjitproduction4817 summer is the best time
My great Uncle immigrated from there in the 1930's as a teenager. I always wanted to visit. It seems nice!
That looks like true hidden pearl of Europe. I need to make a visit one day! Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱🇷🇴
@Obergruppenstuppentruppensturmfuhrer SuperStuka maps dont say that
My favorite travel video of all times!!!
I wanna watch this video all day
Im Croatian born, with Romanian origins and so proud of my roots! Romania is beautiful
Thats not Romania, its Transylvania. The rest of Romania is ugly. We have a German architecture. The rest of Romania have communist architecture. The highest economy is in Transylvania...
@Alex C u wanted to say walach ?
@Alex C what does it mean ?
@Alex C the same as wallach
@@David-ym5xw what about Bucharest and Brasov mate? As I've told you, go back to hungary or to odorheiu secuiesc and leave us alone
Im proud of OUR land
Transylvania is hungary territiory
Unless you’re from Transylvania this is not “your” land
@@dacian_1346 get out hungolian
I wish i can go to Transylvania to see Dracula's Castle it was legendry.
I love how this video was narrated. It's like a storytelling. Unlike your previous videos that is just giving definition of the spots we can easily google. Thank you for keeping up! Looking forward for more amazing content😊 Your video really inspire me to travel the world
✈️🌍
Hey Vicente! We had a little fun with this video and we're so glad you enjoyed it :) Did you spot any of the eeeerie occurrences in Hoia Forest? If you look hard enough you'll see several "unexplained" mysteries scattered throughout the creepy woods. 4:24
Hotel Transylvania ❤️
Transylvania is amazing place 🙌❤😍
💕
Thank you for the video! Proud to be a Transylvanian Hungarian
Ob man, one year late but Transylvanian Hungarians ARE THE BEST! Not all, all people are different, just like not all Romanians are kind and nice as foreigners say, but Szekelys are fantastic. We share with you so much of our history, from the history of Transylvania to its culture and folklore, some of it we got from you, while others you got from us.
Thank you, Expedia! I am choosing my holidays based on your guide tours on youtube and I must say they are 100% true, you have never failed me. I used to revisit your videos on youtube after coming back from a holiday just to prove to myself the 100% accuracy but I don't need to do that anymore😊.I know you capture the exact beauty of each city/region/. I have wanted to see something about Bucharest and Transylvania for a long time now.Thank you so much for this fairytale description and for the unique music! 👏I hope people will appreciate the beauty of the region.
Hey emilia! We are so glad that you get so much out of our videos and that they are such an important part of your holiday plans! We put a huge amount of effort into planning, filming and producing every video so to get a really nice comment like yours really makes our day :)
I've shared your comment with our whole team and it brought smiles and happiness to every face. Thanks so much, and please keep watching! Wishing you a great day :)
@@Expedia well, I am glad I can give something back to you too, as your team gives us so much to all of us! Thank you!Have a good day yourselves!
@@Expedia you should do Mars and Jupiter next been a few times I'm going to visit Saturn and Venus next time
My friend comes from there and the photos she showed me were spectacular but the forest really spooked me out lol
The forest really creeps us out too, John. It looks like there are moving shadows among the trees....... 👻
I appreciate that you showcased the beauty of the landscape as much as the myths!
😳😳😳😳
That place looks rad!!
amazing place and scenery through this area of the world
Watching this in pandemic. Damn you Corona. Should've packed my bags but the godforsaken virus stopped my plans.
Yeah, the same with me.
Haha eu citizens can still go.
Go
N
We went there last year and it was amazing! I highly recommend!
Breathtaking, absolutely beautiful.
I was born and raised there, what you've discovered is just 10% from the whole. That land is magic!
once did a road trip through Transylvania and it was above expectation. The people are kind, nature is beautiful and the temperatures were great in april. It was like summer :)
the soundtrack of the video was excellently picked
"Transylvania a destination hard to define "
It was an epic vedio 👏👏👏
Looks amazing, looking forward to visiting!
There are some wonderful looking places in Transylvania! Brasov looks amazing.
Excellent video, beautiful colors, great job! 👍👍👍
Looks majestic and amazing. I'm putting Transylvania in my Top 20 Bucket list, once I visited Bucharest, will include this.
love the Musical background.....
Along with the gorgeous footage I also extremely love the choice of background music that Expedia chooses! It's quite scintillating 🎶😋😍
Perfect combination of sight & sounds, kudos 👌👌👍👍
please it's a request!! Could you tell me the name of the music used in this video
Romania is awesome! 🇷🇴❤🇷🇴
Wooow😍 visit Transylvania it’s a dream👍🏾
Io sono italiana ma innamorata della Romania, penso che nella vita precedente ero rumena perché ogni volta che ci torno sento una sensazione strana...come di essere a casa... è un paese stupendo
É la stessa cosa che ho provato io quest estate quando sono andato in Romania. Una sensazione mai provata
Proprio come te mi sentivo come parte di quei posti, di quei paesaggi e di quei villaggi. Mi sembrava tutto così famigliare
grazie, e io provo la stessa cosa quando viaggio a roma!
We feel the same about Italy, actually. 😉
Grazie mille !! 😘
We were under roman empire back in time .. who knows..we are blood related with italians especially we can relate with italian lenguage even more especially by pronunciation. Aside Italians we are the only ones who can actually pronounce pizza like Italians do 😆 z, zz is ț [ forza (forța) ]
I like this place
You are doing a great thing.
Love expedia
Spooky, but enchanting!
Dracula is coming for you!! 😅😅
Omg,this place is really awesome
This is most intriguing tale of horror especially in Halloween
Love Expedia for this kind of European videos
Transilvania is Hungaria full support from Serbia!!!!
I love this place so much!
wow!!! well explained.. Now I am even more intrigued about the city. It is in my Travel list...
Sooo underrated ☹️
The band Ghost got me here :)). Can't wait to visit Romania this summer!

Thxx so much Expedia . You help me to travel before sleep.
This is a mysterious and amazingly beautiful city♥️
Very good job Expedia Happy Halloween

Fui em agosto/2019 e conheci quase todos os locais mostrados neste vídeo. Foi uma bela viagem.

"There's one thing about living in Transylvania I never could stomach, all the damn vampires."
