Suggested Itinerary
Step into the heart of Transylvania on this private full-day sightseeing ride from Bucharest, where fairytale castles and medieval towns bring history and legend to life. Your friendly English-speaking driver will pick you up from your hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, ensuring a relaxed journey through Romania’s stunning mountain scenery.

Your adventure begins with a visit to 2Peleș Castle, one of Europe’s most beautiful royal residences. Nestled in the Carpathian Mountains, this Neo-Renaissance masterpiece enchants with its turrets, frescoes, and lavish interiors once home to Romanian kings and queens.

Next, continue to the world-famous 3Dracula's Castle (Bran Castle), better known as Dracula’s Castle. Perched dramatically on a rocky hilltop, this fortress is steeped in mystery and folklore. Wander through its winding staircases and medieval chambers while uncovering the legends that inspired Bram Stoker’s famous vampire tale.

End your day in the charming city of 4Brasov, a medieval gem surrounded by the Carpathians. Stroll through the cobbled streets of the Old Town, admire the Black Church, and soak in the colorful mix of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture. With its lively squares and welcoming cafés, Brașov is the perfect finale to your Transylvanian adventure.

After a day filled with history, legends, and breathtaking landscapes, your driver will take you back to Bucharest, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Romania’s cultural treasures.

*Peles Castle is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays during winter (Sep. 15 to May 14) and on Mondays during summer (May 15 to Sep. 14)
