Immersive day among Romania’s most iconic castles

Begin your tour with a comfortable departure from Bucharest, heading towards the scenic Carpathian Mountains. Your first destination is Peles Castle, nestled in the picturesque town of Sinaia. Alternatively known as the 'Pearl of the Carpathians,' Sinaia is home to rich history and stunning landscapes. At Peles Castle, once the summer residence of Romanian royalty, you will marvel at grand halls filled with elaborate battle tapestries, intricate stained-glass ceilings, and a private theater reflecting the early days of cinema. Learn about the castle’s pioneering features such as early central heating and private hydroelectricity. Continue to the historic Sinaia Monastery, which has stood as the city’s spiritual heart for over three centuries.

Uncover the dark legends of Bran Castle

Your journey continues to Bran, renowned for its dramatic Bran Castle. Famously connected to the Dracula legend, Bran Castle perches atop a rocky hillside, boasting mysterious towers and a labyrinth of stairways, secret doors, and dungeons. Discover the myths surrounding Vlad the Impaler while viewing displays of medieval torture devices. Bran Castle’s arsenal rooms and gothic architecture bring centuries-old stories vividly to life, blending fact and legend for an unforgettable experience.

Medieval charm of Brasov

The adventure then leads to Brasov, framed by the Carpathian Mountains and known for its charming old town. Stroll through winding cobbled lanes past the towering Black Church—its walls darkened by centuries, and admire the colorful rooftops of Hirscher House along with ornate Austro-Hungarian baroque architecture. As your guide shares local tales, you will enjoy views of fortified walls, squares, and historical sites that echo Brasov’s medieval ambience and cultural role.
