We chose Brasov for our base for this vacation as it is located in the middle of the region of Transylvania and you can reach every other city and point of interest within a day trip. I also am a huge fan of Vampires and Dracula and as Transylvania is the home of Dracula you have one chance to guess why I wanted to go to this area!

There are six ways to go to Brasov. From Bucharest, you can go by train, taxi, bus or by car. The most convenient way for us was going by car.
