About

If there is one tour you shouldn’t miss when visiting Bucharest, this is the one! Spend an incredible day outside Bucharest to visit Peles Royal Castle – among the most beautiful castles in Europe – and the famous Dracula’s Castle in Bran.

You will meet the guide and other travelers between 07:30 – 08:00 am at the pick-up point selected.

At 08:00 am, you will leave Bucharest, heading north towards the Carpathian Mountains and Transylvania.

The first stop is Sinaia, a beautiful mountain resort, where you will visit Peleş Royal Castle – the former residence of the Romanian Royal Family.

Continue the day with a scenic drive through the Carpathian Mountains and, in about 1 hour, arrive at Bran, where you will visit Bran medieval castle, also known as Dracula’s castle.

Before heading back to Bucharest, we will remain in Transylvania and stop for a short time in Braşov, a typical medieval city. You will stop in Council Square and start a short walking tour in the Old Town. You will learn more about the story of the Saxons in Transylvania, admire the impressive and well-preserved architecture, see the Black Church (symbolic building of the city – view from outside), and discover which is the second narrowest street in Europe, the Rope Street.
