Description

Embark on a captivating full-day tour from Bucharest to Transylvania, Romania, exploring legendary castles and the charming city of Brașov. Begin your adventure with convenient pickup from select spots in Bucharest, and journey north into the scenic region of Valahia, setting the stage for a day steeped in history and myth.

Your first stop is the exquisite Peles Castle in Sinaia, famously called the Pearl of the Carpathians. Surrounded by lush forests and mountain vistas, this former royal residence enchants with its fairy-tale architecture and opulent interiors. Enjoy guided exploration as you learn about the castle’s fascinating past and royal connections.

Continue your scenic drive through the Carpathian Mountains to Bran, home to the notorious Bran Castle. Often referred to as Dracula's Castle, this medieval fortress is shrouded in legend and closely tied to the tale of Vlad the Impaler. Delve into the myths and marvel at the castle’s dramatic setting and centuries-old walls.

Afterward, travel to the heart of Transylvania to the city of Brașov. Join a walking tour through its cobbled old town, where Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance architecture abound. Discover highlights such as the grand Black Church (Biserica Neagră) and Catherine's Gate, remnants of the city’s fortified history.

This immersive tour includes guided visits and transportation in a comfortable vehicle, but does not cover entrance fees, meals, or personal expenses. Experience the best of Romania's legends and landscapes in one unforgettable day. Availability is limited, so secure your spot and book your Transylvania adventure now!
