Start your day with a pickup from your hotel in Bucharest and board a comfortable, private bus. Set off on a scenic drive towards the stunning Carpathian Mountains. Your first stop is the fairy-tale Peles Castle, nestled in the picturesque town of Sinaia.

A masterpiece of Neo-Renaissance architecture, Peles Castle is one of the most stunning royal residences in all of Europe. Surrounded by forested mountains, the castle looks like something straight out of a storybook. Explore its grand halls, and be amazed by the intricately carved woodwork, ornate chandeliers, and vibrant stained glass windows.

Step into the former summer residence of Romania's royal family and soak in the rich history and artistic beauty that makes Peles Castle such a beloved landmark. From the elegance of royalty, venture into the world of myth and legend at Bran Castle, famously known as Dracula's Castle.

Perched high on a rocky cliff, this imposing fortress exudes a mysterious charm, its dark towers and winding staircases inspiring countless stories of vampires and intrigue. As you tour Bran Castle, hear the fascinating tales that have surrounded it for centuries.

After delving into Romania’s medieval past, your journey takes you to the charming city of Brasov. Nestled in the foothills of the Carpathians, Brasov is a picturesque town with a beautifully preserved medieval center.

On a guided walking tour, explore the cobbled streets, admire the vibrant Baroque and Gothic architecture, and pass landmarks like the towering Black Church, one of the largest Gothic churches in Eastern Europe. Take a moment to stroll through the lively Council Square, surrounded by pastel-colored buildings and framed by mountain views.

With its cozy cafes, quaint shops, and rich history, Brasov is the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern vibrancy. As the day draws to a close, board the bus once again and enjoy a relaxing drive back to Bucharest.
