Transylvania: Beyond Dracula

By , About.com GuideAugust 18, 2012

Follow me on:

Sibiu, Romania
Transylvania. It's a region in Romania (once part of Hungary) that brings to mind Dracula of the Bram Stoker variety. Transylvania is the birthplace of the real Dracula, Vlad Tepes, but those who visit will find more to explore than vampire legends or the true history of Romania's famous Impaler. Transylvania is home to destination cities such as Sibiu and Brasov, its complex history and rich culture are easily accessible, and its countryside keeps hidden castles and caves just waiting to be explored.

Transylvania was once part of Hungary by a mistake of the history. Am quite surprised to see this comment made by a Romanian as if he’d acknowledge and token it as “normal”. Have recently read a similar comment by a tour guide names Daniel Gheorghita about some Hungarian count, ex foreign affairs minister of Hungary who was dedicated to getting back Transylvania for Hungary.

You guys should read your history well before you posted anything.
