Fall colors lend a mystical air to the land of Bram Stoker’s famous Count, it seems, as Romania’s castles, mountains and gorges take on the reds and golds of autumn. The “Transylvanian Fall Foliage Special Tour for Seniors” hits the highlights of the region, visiting man-made and natural wonders such as Bucharest’s massive Parliament Palace, Bran Castle, the Merry Cemetery and the Apuseni Mountains, as well as the medieval citadel of Sighisoara.
Offered by Transylvania Live, the eight-night tour departs Oct. 10, with the $1,902 price covering accommodations, many meals, sightseeing, entrance fees, transportation and airport transfers. Air travel between home and Bucharest is additional. (866-376-6183; www.visit-transylvania.us)
