- Exploring Corvin Castle in TRANSYLVANIA , ROMANIA
Welcome back to Romania everyone!
After a couple of wet and rainy days in Transylvania we were ready to head out on another adventure. Today we are taking a day trip to the well-known Corvins' Castle. Corvins' Castle, also known as Hundayi Castle, is one of the largest castles in Europe. This 15th century castle is well restored and you can really feel a medieval vibe. We highly recommend a visit to this castle as it offers legends, history, and beautiful views.
We hope to see you back next week for another video in our Romania series! Thanks for watching. If you enjoyed this video please like, comment, and SUBSCRIBE!

What grade are you guys giving Sammy's parallel park? Definitely a B - right?! 🤣
In Romania our Grades are from 1 to 10, so she's having a 9 🤗
@@loanza3297 You’re too kind 😃 So I am assuming a 10 is the lowest score in Romania? 😂
B+,it was hard and she was stressed from the roumanian drivers!:)))
@@SammyandTommy 10 is the best. the higher the better
A- because the difficulty level was 10/10 😂
Corvin Castle has also been a filming location for many movies. Among them Ghost Rider, The Nun, Fright Night, Dragonheart, Nostradamus and many more
Thanks for the info Thomas 👊 I will have to go back and watch a few of those movies now 🍿🎥 😃
and Subspecies a vampire movie ;-)
I lived there. I remember in high school that some collegues of mine were getting around 12 Euros for 1 day of filming as cast actors. In the winter, the price doubled because it was cold.
@@hoiabaciufan nice experience.. even if 12 euro/day isnt much... subspecies is one of the most authentic vampire movies I have ever seen... and the soundtrack as well..
Some facts about Corvin Castle- Iancu Corvin, first lord of Corvin Castle was one of the greatest military commanders of XVth century- he stopped the Ottoman Empire from expanding into Europe in 1456, at the battle of Belgrade.
Iancu Corvin also gave shelter for a while to Vlad III Basarab, better known as Dracula - and name Corvinus is used in the film series Underworld.
Thanks for sharing Silviu! Those are cool facts. Now I want to go back and watch the Underworld series! Thanks for watching 👊
I can only say that Romania is very interesting and beautiful!
We couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching!
Transylvania ...
@@papaszem44 Transylvania is Romania so yeah. Either way, Bukovina, the Danube Delta and other areas of Romania outside of Transylvania can easily stand toe to toe with Transylvania in terms of history and beauty.
And yes I am from Transylvania.
Halo! Greetings from Philippines!
Wow... You always make me feel so great! Stress-free watching your vlog😁
Beautiful Sammy and Handsome Tommy
Huge Castle with bridge, lots of sheeps..
Yummy foods 😋😊 Awesome..
Again.. thanks for sharing... Continue to share and God bless you ..Stay Safe😊💕
Hey Marissa 👋 You’re so sweet 🥰 Thank you very much! Hope you’re doing well 🤗
That's my Home Town! I live in Germany for about 10 years and didn t manage to go home for 3 years... i miss it, so thank you for taking me there with you. ^^
Thanks so much for watching Loan! Hopefully we can all make it back there some day 💖
Keep it up! And welcome to Romania!
Thanks so much, we appreciate it!!
At the 30th second of the video, when your eyes were stolen by that church you missed one of the most beautiful fortresses from Romania: Făgăraș Fortress. If you're still passing through Făgăraș, you have to visit it. Congratulations on the vlog, it's just great! I also recommend the salt mines from Romania. In particular Turda, Praid and Ocnele Mari.

Oh no! There is always so much to see, thanks so much for the recommendation. We appreciate it!
I always thought that Castle Corvin is the closest looking castle to Hogwarts in HP. Hunedoara is a sweet town too. I love Romania so much my wife and I moved there! How do you like driving here? If you get to Timisoara look us up!
Hi Gary 👋 Nice to meet you! We agree it does remind us of Hogwarts 😍 We can see why you would move there! The driving took some getting used to.. Especially since it was summer and busy! You really have to concentrate on your defensive driving skills 😉 We plan on visiting Timisoara on our next trip! Maybe see you then? Thanks for watching!
I'm glad you liked the castle in my city! :) We even had a sunny day prepared just for you!
Thanks Denisa 💖 Yes , the weather was gorgeous that day 🤗
Nice I love Sammy’s facial expressions. 🤣😂 this channel vlog is so authentic as well as great views of countries.
They are priceless no doubt 😂 Always appreciate your sweet comments Brittney 🤗 Thanks for watching!
Great chemistry and atmosphere! Love the fact that you guys are not afraid to show that you're having fun, and being silly. You are so close to Oradea and it's famous thermal springs in Felix, wish you are going there next.
Thanks for such a sweet compliment and the suggestion 🥰 Appreciate you! Thanks for watching 🥂
Ahh soo short this one, I want more! Haha.. Another beautiful scenery to put on my list, really cool castle! Tommy put almost no pressure at all on Sammy to parallel park 😂😂.. Thanks for sharing that moment, I had lots of laughs 🤣🤣... Sammy, you passed the bar, parking in European towns is next level driving! 😉 Haha..
Thanks Rômulo 👊 Glad you enjoyed her attempt to parallel park and laughed with us 😂 Always appreciate your comments, Thank you!
I really enjoy watching your videos are so relaxing and it sends me a positive vibe. Thanks
Glad to hear it Dan 🍻 Thanks for watching!
Had just been reading about this castle, and then I found it - and you! Fascinating place; would love to visit. Thanks for sharing your experience.
That’s awesome! Hopefully you can make it there one day 💜🤗
That s actually my home town.I am glad that you guys liked the castle.Love the channel and your positivity.
Yes it was such a cool castle! Glad you’re enjoying the channel! We really appreciate it!
Finally one normal and nice travel couple....
Beautiful Castle with so much Hungarian-Romanian History
Man, with this music and edit you give us a great travel mood😁
That's always a good thing! Thank you friend 👊
Another great video, yous guys. That pizza you had for lunch looked delish.
Kudos for driving in Romania. We didn't rent a car there bc we were staying in one of those Soviet era apartment buildings which was in a sea of similar buildings with very little available parking. Plus, just riding in a cab from the airport seemed sketchy. Outside of the city driving probably wouldn't be bad.
Something that I remember about it was that even though there were thousands of people packed into this big apartment complex it was all very quiet after around 8pm. No loud music, yelling, revving engines, etc. It seemed like everyone had respect for their neighbors. It struck me as a very positive thing.
Thanks Ruby 🤗 we had a lot of delicious 🍕 over there! Very affordable too 😃 The driving does take some getting used to but we managed just fine. Thanks for sharing your experience with us 🤗
You mean communist era apartment buildings ; because Romania never been part of Soviet Union. Former communist country ; yes.
@@Ge0rGi. to me the Soviet era and communist era are the same when saying when these apartment buildings were built. Certainly the Soviet Union was communist long before the Warsaw Pact and countries like Romania became communist after WW2. So, in Russia the Soviet era would go back to Lenin and I would not call those years between 1920 and 1945 the Soviet era in Romania. But yes, I get the the Warsaw Pact countries like Romania were not in the Soviet Union.
@@rubytuesday9539 Precisely, Romania - like many other countries in Eastern Europe after WW2 - were under close and heavy Soviet control. Whoever thinks otherwise, is either very naive, or did not live through those times. I did, my parents did, we know...
@@FlorinU indeed. I think it's fair to point out that a country like Romania was different than, say, Belarus, in that it wasn't in the Soviet Union proper. But the Soviet control was there in Romania that it makes little difference.
I’m a big fan of castles, so thank you much!
We are too 😍🏰 Thabks for watching Donna!
You felling free in this contry end that is amizing
We appreciate that Kantor 🤗 Thanks for watching 🍻

Hi,congratulations because you like and appreciate my country .🙋♀️
Thanks so much! We loved Romania 🤗💖
Welcome to Romania!
Welcome to Sibiu! ❤️
Thanks for the warm welcome 🍻
How can you not know how to park from the country that brought us the "land yacht" such as the Chrysler New Yorker ......lol Great Vlog and so so funny!
😂 Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did! Gotta love her confidence though haha 😃 Thanks for the great comment Nick 👊
great video
Glad you enjoyed it
You guys are adorable!!
Thanks Daniel 🥰
Nice.
You guys are so funny! Sam definitely a b- lol you did way better than I would have done!! lol
Loll I thought I was doing great with that park job , I’m going to practice more for next time 😂😂
Really cool videos, just one question are you guys using a gimbal with you're a6400 if not y not consider the zv1. I own the a6400 just find it a little shaky and was wondering if the zv1 is better since it has stabilisation.
Hi Florin 👋 We hardly use a gimble and wish the stabilization was better for handheld use. I would really like to try any of the new cameras because I have heard the stabilization is much improved. I don’t know much about the ZV-1 but ready to upgrade to full frame! Thanks for watching!
they made here the movie Subspecies I think... nice :-)
Welcome to the best city in Romania , Hunedoara
Thanks for the warm welcome!
too bed you didn't get to visit the northern part of Romania. Is the most beautiful and picturesque. A must in the future...
We plan on it! Where would you recommend we visit?
@@SammyandTommy There are two regions: Bucovina and Maramureș.
Romania is beautiful because it’s diversity. It’s about taste in the end and I think this country can cover a large palette….. doesn’t mean the north of Romania isn’t beautiful:).
Nice.. I went there
You're lucky as well! Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
TRANSILVANIA ,my friend. !!
When was this video taken? after Coveid or before? There are so many people at the castle. Was it on a weekend during the summer?
What's up Brian 👊 This was taken before the pandemic. It was during summer so pretty busy no matter what time you arrive.
Hello you can visit castle from Carei ,my hometown
It looks beautiful 😍 We will add it to our list for our next road trip! Thanks for watching Ester 🤗
Ha, my county :)
Hi Sammy and Tommy! Great video! You are a very nice couple of travelers :) Greetings from Poland! Have you ever been to my country? ;)
Thanks so much 🥰 We never have been to Poland yet but we will definitely visit one day! Where would you recommend we visit in Poland? Thanks for watching 🤗
@@SammyandTommy Poland has many beautiful places but my favorite destination is Tri-City (Gdansk, Sopot, Gdynia) located on the Baltic Sea coast. But if you are a fan of interesting historical places and mysterious cafes you will fall in love with Krakow :) from which it is quite close to the Tatra Mountains. Have fun on your next trips! ;-)
Thanks for the great suggestions 😃
Pineapple pizza 😋🍕 yummy 😋
Always delicious 🤤 Thanks for watching!
This is the castle I would love to see at the end of the month, I will be traveling across Europe for 3 weeks and I will be in Romania for 2 days. I will visit Bucharest and be around Brasov to explore castles around the areas.
That's awesome Anthony 👊 It was my favorite castle! Where else are you going in Europe? Have an amazing time!
@@SammyandTommy I’m flying to Spain 🇪🇸, Portugal 🇵🇹, Croatia 🇭🇷, Italy 🇮🇹, Greece 🇬🇷, Bulgaria 🇧🇬, Romania 🇷🇴, Denmark 🇩🇰, Sweden 🇸🇪, Finland 🇫🇮, Germany 🇩🇪 and Switzerland 🇨🇭.
Wow good for you! Squeezing in as much as possible! Have an great trip man!
@@SammyandTommy yes thank you and I’ll be posting videos soon.
Man, you are a perfect couple. That's all i have to say. Godbless you two
We are far from perfect but thanks so much 🤗 We appreciate you!
@@SammyandTommy as the video editing shouts out... you are close to perfect my g... ❤
Appreciate it 🍻
@@SammyandTommy respect you 2 ❤ definetly worth watching
Hello guys! Would you like to come in the north, Suceava - Bucovina? Nice video! 👍
We will definitely have to check out the north when we make it back! Thanks so much Costi ! Glad you enjoyed the video 🤗
Oh yeah, that's another area to see!
In my opinion there is the best food !
Mighty Romania 💪.
Maybe you will have some time in the future to visit Alba Iulia citadel.
Yes we really wanted to see that fortress but ran out of time.. It's on our list for our next road-trip though! Thanks for the suggestions Mircea!
I am glad you enjoy my wife born town
Yes such a beautiful place 😍 Hopefully you two get to visit often 🤞Thanks for watching Marcel!
👏👏
🤗
@@SammyandTommy 🤗
🥰🥰🥰🥰
👍👍👍🤝
🍀🍀
💃 try to visit Raven's Nest and Danube delta
Thanks for the suggestions 👊
No "Salina Turda"? Omg you guys have no idea what you missed
Don’t worry we will be back!
...which one is Sammy ?
You both looking nice .I am also making videos in Romania
Just missed Aba Iulia in the middle
That is what we keep hearing, we definitely will not miss it on our next trip!
Bran Castle.
You 2 deserve the Romanian citizenship... hands down..
@@SammyandTommy when you get to Bucharest, u need to ask this question to other Romanians. Over there, everyone knows everyone and you never know who you may run into. And you have to make friends and keep in touch with the. They will also be on the look for you. Romanian friendship is every different than American friendship, it's like brothers.
Someone may be friends or relatives with a person who works in the parliament or government, and they all need money. Believe me. And I can almost guarantee you, if you ask enough, you will find someone who can hook u up. You just gotta pay the money. It's called corruption, but sometimes we use it for our own good. Like now.
Or, another way is to marry me, since I'm Romanian. After a few years when u get ur citizenship, go back to ur husband. Simple as that.
If i was there, since I know the language, I could have found hook ups easy. But when u ask this question, make sure u are serious about it. Cuz if u pay the right price, you will have a legal passport in 3 days...
But only in Bucharest, that's where all the big corrupt mafia is. For money, you will get it. But they are good mafia... they will not hurt you in any way. All they want is money. That's y u have to be serious when asking or talking concerning buying the citizenship... and, u gotta start speaking the language.... come on guys ;)
Remember, black people, muslims or anyone who is not white, will never get the citizenship. So u are already qualified.....;)
@@SammyandTommy remember, almost everyone from the republic of Moldova has Romanian passports, and also many Ukrainians who live on the border with Romania.
All Ukrainians officials as well, cuz that's their only way to enter europe. But they had to buy it. Some russians are buying it as well, cuz europe is better than Russia. That's because they know who to pay. They know the right people. Just ask people when u get in Bucharest, but again, make friends with people. If you don't make friends with Romanians in Romania, than you will be blind. Romanian friendship is the most amazing thing ever. Everywhere u are in the world, if u speak our language and meet another Romanian, ur saved. Learn the language.
Where do u guys live in the USA? I live in usa as well.
@@SammyandTommy "Or, another way is to marry me, since I'm Romanian. After a few years when u get ur citizenship, go back to ur husband. Simple as that." =)))) This guy is after you Sammy... Be carefull... PS: Greetings from Bucharest.
You did uploaded the video 2 years after the actual trip ?? How come so late?
Great question! While we were traveling we were focused on enjoying the journey 🤗 then the pandemic gave us the time we needed to be still , learn to edit , and start our channel. We will catch up on videos soon, continue traveling, and post in real time. At least that’s the goal !
@@SammyandTommy Makes sense . So you're not traveling right now don't you ? (Spending time with editing , lol ..) . I actually visited the very same castle last year . Pretty cool
Right , mostly because of the pandemic and little bit trying to catch up on videos. We are vaccinated and hope to get back on the road soon !
@@SammyandTommy Nice . I would like to have a life like that , traveling around the world. I am planning it for my retirement . On the other hand, I am planning for a while to come in US, I have relatives there - kind if living the American dream lol . I was always saying I will go to US only once in my life , just to cross that one from my bucket list ... (I am kind of like Europe more)
Love all the way from India ❤
Thank you! Much love back to you!
Why no Sibiu?
Hi Daniel! We did go to Sibiu and loved it , however it rained a lot during that time and I don’t think we filmed much :( we will have to do better next time!! Thanks for watching!
Just don't scratch that vintage green Dacia.
I am born in this Town. Hunedoara
That's so cool! Lucky you to be born in such a beautiful area 😍 Thanks for watching!
"The Nun" movie vibes ,anyone ?
We gotta watch that movie! It was filmed at Corvin right?
@@SammyandTommy the background when they show the castle from outside is Corvin Castle ,but inside,the scenes, probably they filmed in the Hollywood studios ,and of course is a horror ,FANTASY movie ,nothing to do with reality ... WAS RELEASED IN 2018 the movie
Count Dracula.
Deja vú...
Did you just visit there as well? Thanks for watching Stanciu!
This castle is beautiful
But even though it's safe, it scares the shit out of me
I think everyone reading my comment will know why 🤣🤣🤣
When have you been there ? No one has a mask 🙂
Hi Cosmin 👊 This was filmed before the pandemic.
Not even Putin can conquer this castle.
Dear guys,you are fantastic, beautiful castle,Romania is beautiful,but yrs Sam is right,Romanians are driving very bad
that parking, was a total woman moment
A bit of advice , the scenes are way way too fast ...You actually need to pause every few seconds to properly see what you're fliming .. The rest is good :)
Appreciate the advice! Thanks for watching!
For the most part I like your videos. But you do have the tendency of moving a little too quick. As of viewer ,you would have to try to constantly pause.
You haven't mentioned nothing about the ( readings in start room )
And nothing about the fountain ( witch was made by the Turkish prisoners in three middle of castle) and they've been killed after by the Queen. Before to be killed they wrote a message in tha fountain and the message is ,, You have water but no hearth,, because she promised them that after they will finished the fountain they will be let free but the Queen doesn't kept her promises and she killed them!..Also you didn't mention about the torture rooms and nothing about castle.Shame .
Yes, Romanian drivers are crazy. Just avoid them and let them pass. I am a cyclist and I am sick of them. 😅
It takes some getting used to! I can’t imagine cycling there 🤯 Well done!
yeah but is that caste even 'cute' tho?
Haha not in my eyes. It's definitely more badass then cute ;) Thanks for watching!
TRANSYLVANIA ...
TRANSYLVANIA = ROMANIA
Kaka
Transylvania was a region of Hungary for 1000 years before romanian occupation in 1918.
Transylvania is a Romanian Territory (Dacia Region) and also Hungary is a Romanian Territory - until you guys the HUNS came from ASIA and took this territory by attacking Roman Empire and settle here in Europe by killing people. Same Gypsies came from Asia-India in Europe as a Nomadic Race. Learn History before spreading false propaganda! Romania Defeated Austro-Hungarian Empire and Ottoman Empire and German Empire with heavy Losses from Russian Empire and Romania Lost Republic of Moldavia.
