Your expert guide will accompany you through Romania’s most iconic sites - Peles Castle, Dracula’s Castle, and the medieval city of Brasov - sharing fascinating stories and insights along the way.

Stop 1: Peles Castle – A Royal Jewel
Your adventure begins with a morning departure from Bucharest as you head north towards the scenic town of Sinaia, home to the stunning Peles Castle. Nestled at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains, Peles Castle is a true architectural marvel, built in the 19th century for King Carol I. The castle’s Neo-Renaissance design, surrounded by lush forests, looks straight out of a fairy tale.

With your guide leading the way, you’ll explore the castle’s lavish interiors, from the Grand Hall to the Royal Library, each room brimming with history, artwork, and intricate woodwork. As you stroll through the opulent chambers, you’ll learn about the life of the Romanian royal family and the unique architectural and artistic elements that make Peles one of Europe’s finest castles. The atmosphere is magical, with panoramic views of the mountains and gardens creating a truly royal experience.

Stop 2: Bran Castle – The Legendary Dracula’s Fortress
From the elegance of Peles, you’ll travel deeper into Transylvania to visit the imposing Bran Castle, often referred to as Dracula’s Castle. Perched dramatically on a hilltop, this 14th-century fortress has long been associated with the Dracula legend, inspired by the real-life figure Vlad the Impaler. With its tall towers, narrow passageways, and Gothic ambiance, Bran Castle exudes mystery and intrigue.

Your guide will reveal the historical truths behind the Dracula myth, separating fact from fiction as you explore the castle’s rooms and winding staircases. Along the way, you’ll enjoy stunning views of the surrounding Transylvanian countryside, a rugged landscape that adds to the allure of this medieval fortress. Whether you’re drawn by the eerie Dracula tales or the castle’s rich history, Bran is sure to captivate your imagination.

Stop 3: Brasov – A Walk Through Medieval Transylvania
Your final stop is the medieval city of Brasov, one of Romania’s most picturesque destinations. Upon arrival, enjoy a guided walking tour through the city’s charming old town.
In Council Square (Piața Sfatului), the heart of the old town, you’ll see the iconic Black Church, the largest Gothic church in Eastern Europe, and learn about its dramatic history. Strolling through Brasov’s narrow streets, you’ll discover highlights like the Rope Street (Strada Sforii), one of the narrowest streets in Europe, and enjoy the city’s unique architecture.
