Tours in Transylvania – Dogarilor Tower

Choose our amazing tours in Transylvania. Discover Bistrita, an amazing Saxon city formed in the 12th century. In the Middle Ages, Bistrita used to be the most powerful Transylvanian Citadel. Furthermore, this city had 20 guilds, making it an important handicraft center.

Due to the constant threat of invaders the citizens began to build the walls of the citadel so by 1465 the city had 18 towers and bastions defended by the craftsmen guilds. Only one tower still exists today, the Dogarilor Tower, which houses a unique puppets and masks exposition.

Dracula’s Castle Hotel in Borgo Pass

57 km away from Bistrita, in Borgo Pass (1116 m) is located the famous Dracula Castle. It is here that Bram Stoker placed the bloody hero of his novel, the vampire Count Dracula.

Dracula’s Castle Hotel was built back when the Communists were running our country. The owner, Alexandru Misiuga, asked for permission to build a hotel between Transylvania and Moldavia and then he named it ‘Tihuta’. This name remained until the fall of Communism. After that, Misiuga renamed the hotel ‘Dracula’s Castle’, like he had intended from the beginning. As a fun fact, the reason Misiuga was not able to name the hotel properly is that Ceausescu’s enemies were comparing him with Dracula, which did not sit well with the dictator.
