Invitation in Transylvania in a fascinating holiday: Vampire in Transylvania-The Dracula Tour

Dec. 16, 2008 - PRLog -- TRANSYLVANIA, Europe : As everybody can imagine Transylvania is all about stunning scenery and terrific places. Everyone knows and fears Dracula; still everyone wants to travel to Transylvania. Transylvania and the Carpathian mountains are the very best parts of Romania. If someone comes to think about it, Dracula is actually a pretty normal, quite modern person. Here's a man that parties all night long, spends all days sleeping in a coffin – (some futurist furniture don't you think? medieval style is back, you know!), never says no to a (bloody) drink and he is desperately in love with a woman. And he can afford it! He is a count and has his private castle. Top of the cake? He always looks so young! So, the ones interested in learning the truth, being charmed by the legend and enjoying the best Dracula experience ever, are welcomed to travel to Transylvania and join the Vampire in Transylvania tour.

”Transylvania Live appears to be one of the few companies that understands the Western market for Dracula. Their product appears to be very innovative!  For many Romanians Dracula means Vlad Tepes but for people from the UK, America etc it means of course the vampire Dracula.  I agree with those people who say that Dracula is a way to get foreign tourists into Romania creating an opportunity to show them all the other things the country can offer” said professor Duncan Light from Liverpool Hope University, UK


The prestigious Fodor's travel guide, placed Vampire in Transylvania 2007 in Top ten must-do adventures that will make the coming New Year one to remember.
