Description
Leave Bucharest behind for an unforgettable private journey through Romania’s royal and Gothic landmarks. Begin in Sinaia, where Peles Castle rises from the forest like a vision from a fairytale. Built in the 19th century for King Carol I, it is famed for its art-filled interiors, carved woodwork, and one of Europe’s first electrical lighting systems.
Continue through the Carpathians to Bran Castle, a medieval fortress wrapped in the mystery of Dracula. Explore its turreted rooms and steep staircases as your guide separates myth from history, recounting the real story of Vlad the Impaler.
After exploring the castle, relax with free time for lunch or local shopping in the nearby village. Your return journey follows scenic mountain roads, completing a day that blends Romania’s regal elegance, folklore, and breathtaking landscapes.
