What to expect

Leave Bucharest behind for the mountains, traditions, and medieval legends of Transylvania.

On this day tour, you will travel into the shadows of the Carpathians, where tales of Dracula linger inside the Gothic towers of Bran Castle. You’ll also visit the fairytale Peles Castle in Sinaia, tucked into the forest and ranked among Europe’s most beautiful palaces.

Your first stop will be in Sinaia City, where you will visit Peles Castle, the summer residence of the first king of Romania. Peles Castle is a masterpiece of German New-Renaissance architecture, built in the late nineteenth century and considered by many to be one of the most stunning castles in Europe. Peles Castle was the first European castle entirely lit by electrical current. Was used as a summer residence by the Royal family for more than 50 years, and the original interior decoration is still intact.

You will continue the journey, and in about one hour of driving through the Carpathian Mountains, you will arrive at Bran Castle to learn about Vlad the Impaler. Also called Dracula's Castle, it is surrounded by an aura of mystery and legend and owes its fame to its imposing towers and turrets as well as to the myth created around Bram Stocker's Dracula. Along the way, the castle had a strategic mission as the border between Transylvania and Wallachia. Narrow, winding stairways lead through some 60 timber rooms, many connected by underground passages.

In the evening, you will be back in Bucharest.
