Transylvania is a historical and cultural region encompassing central Romania. To the east and south, its natural border is the Carpathian Mountains and to the west, the Apuseni Mountains.

While the area has a rich history dating back to the second century, Transylvania is commonly associated with Bram Stoker’s Dracula (& vampires) and the many subsequent books and films that the story has inspired. Bram Stoker never visited the area or the castle that claims to be where Dracula lived.
