Description
Travel from Bucharest into the heart of Transylvania on a private journey through castles, legends, and medieval charm. Begin in Sinaia, where the royal Peles Castle rises among pine forests. Built in the 19th century for King Carol I, its Neo-Renaissance design and art-filled chambers showcase the elegance of Romania’s monarchy.
Next, venture through the Carpathian Mountains to the legendary Bran Castle, surrounded by folklore and mystery. Explore its winding corridors, courtyards, and battlements as your guide separates the myth of Dracula from the truth of its strategic history.
End the day in Brașov, a city steeped in Saxon heritage. Walk its cobblestone streets, see the Black Church, and enjoy a coffee in Council Square before returning to Bucharest. Blending royal grandeur, Gothic intrigue, and cultural heritage, this private experience captures the essence of Transylvania in comfort and style.
