Step back in time and explore Romania’s most iconic castles and medieval towns on this guided tour from Bucharest.

Your journey begins with a scenic drive to Peleș Castle, nestled in the Carpathian Mountains. Built in the 1800s by Romania’s first king, this architectural gem boasts ornate rooms, a remarkable art collection, and a fascinating weapons exhibit.

Next, visit the legendary Bran Castle, famously linked to Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Dramatically standing on a hill, the 13th-century fortress immerses you in dark myths and mysterious legends while our expert guide reveals its true historical roots. Here, you'll have time for lunch.

The final stop is Brașov, a charming medieval town where you stroll through cobbled streets with colorful houses, visit the Black Church, and see the remnants of the city’s medieval fortifications. It's a perfect blend of history, architecture, and local charm.

Enjoy a full day in Transylvania! No strangers, no stress - only you and the real Romania.
