Step into a memorable day trip from Bucharest and discover Transylvania’s most iconic highlights in one well-paced itinerary. Travel through scenic countryside to Peles Castle, the former summer residence of Romania’s royal family, then continue to Bran Castle, famously known as “Dracula’s Castle,” where you can uncover the story behind Vlad the Impaler. The day also includes time in Brasov Old Town, one of Romania’s most charming historic cities.
This experience is designed for travelers who want a smoother, more organized way to see Transylvania in one day. A well-prepared tour leader keeps the schedule on track and shares practical context between stops, while you enjoy independent exploration at each location. Plan for around 1.5 hours of free time at Peles, Bran, and in Brasov, with timings adjusted when needed for traffic and local conditions to keep the overall duration within a typical 12 to 14 hours.
