The VLAD DRACU HOUSE is situated in the hart of the well-known medieval town of Sighisoara, in close proximity to the "Clock Tower".
 The house is one of the most renown historical monuments in Sighisoara, visited by Romanian and foreign tourists alike due to its connection to the legend of the infamous Dracula. This house was inhabited between 1431 and 1435 by the Wallachian prince Vlad Dracul (known today mainly as Dracula). At that time Vlad Dracul coined money that pictured on one side a dragon, and on the other a vulture - which also was his royal seal. Today, the house is a museum and also hosts a large restaurant. The medieval room of the restaurant holds a beautiful XV century fresco of Vlad Dracul - the only known authentic portrayal of the man, making it a unique piece of art.
The restaurant (that houses 130 seats) offers international and local cuisine. Its specialty is "The Lunch of Prince Dracula", which is served with the Transilvanian "palinca" (double distilled plum brandy) and with a renown regional wine called "Vampire". The restaurant has also 2 patios that sit 60 people, and a wine cellar situated the ground floor that has 40 seats and serves wine and beer in mugs very much alike the ones used by the old Wallachian prince himself.
