Description
Escape Bucharest for a day steeped in mystery, legend, and medieval charm. Begin in Sinaia, visiting the royal Peles Castle — a 19th-century Neo-Renaissance masterpiece built for Romania’s first king. Its ornate interiors, carved wood, and stained-glass windows capture the splendor of a bygone royal age.
Continue your journey into the heart of Transylvania to the iconic Bran Castle, forever tied to Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Walk its narrow stairways, gaze from its towers, and learn the truth behind the vampire myth and the castle’s strategic past guarding the mountain border.
Conclude your adventure in Brașov, a city brimming with Gothic architecture and alpine charm. Visit the Black Church, stroll through Rope Street, and unwind in Council Square before your return drive through the Carpathian Mountains. A day of castles, culture, and captivating scenery awaits.
