What to expect

Set off from Bucharest and head to Sinaia following the scenic Prahova Valley. Upon arrival in Sinaia, called the “Pearl of the Carpathians” due to the beauty of its natural setting and the elegance of its architecture, visit the Peles Castle, the former summer residence of the Romanian Royal Family and emblematic of the Romanian Royalty. Then head to the 300-year-old Sinaia Monastery, the historic soul of the city of Sinaia and a precious monument of Romanian Art.

Drive on to Bran to visit the famous medieval castle built as a fortress for the citizens of Brasov with a view to defend the city. Prince Vlad used the castle as his general headquarters during his incursions in Transylvania. Surrounded by an aura of mystery and legend and perched high atop a 200-foot-high rock, Bran Castle owes its fame to its imposing towers and turrets as well as to the myth created around Bram Stoker's Dracula.

After a short drive, you will reach the city of Brasov. Fringed by the peaks of the Southern Carpathian Mountains and resplendent with Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance architecture, as well as a wealth of historical attractions, Brasov is one of the most visited places in Romania. Here you will enjoy a walking tour through the old town center, including the Black Church, the largest Gothic cathedral between Vienna and Istanbul.
