�our travel agency, Transilvania Tours has been operating in the Romanian travel business as a
tour operator and has been dealing with many incoming travelers eager to discover this part of
the world. The bulk of our clients are coming from Hungary but since 2001 we have started to
promote our tours in other countries, too.
Groups of travelers from Germany, Holland, United
States and Northern Europe are increasing their numbers proving that interest in
the Carpathian Mountain region known as Transylvania has grown from a relatively
naive knowledge of the Dracula inspired legend to a deepening understanding of the rich
living folk-art (traditional crafts, costumes, folk music, dance and theatre) of
this historical region.
