Cluj Dracula Tour: Trace the Real Novel Route (Bram Stoker)

About this activity

This is the only Dracula tour that follows the real route from Bram Stoker's novel — not the Bran Castle. We trace Jonathan Harker's exact journey: from Klausenburg (today's Cluj-Napoca) to Bistritz and through the eerie Bârgău Pass, deep into the Carpathians toward where Castle Dracula stands in the manuscript itself.

On the menu, straight from Stoker's pages, we have "paprika hendl" or for the vegetarians some "mamaliga".

Walk the exact road from the pages of Dracula, step into the novel and follow Harker's path yourself.
