What to expect

On this tour, you will set off from Bucharest following the scenic Prahova Valley and get to experience Bran Castle, Peles Castle, Brasov, and many more with a knowledgeable guide.

Sinaia is called the “Pearl of the Carpathians” due to its beautiful natural setting and elegant architecture. There you will visit Peles Castle, the former summer residence of the Romanian Royal Family and emblem of the Romanian Royalty. Leaving the castle you will 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, initially built as a fortress for the citizens of Brasov aiming to defend the city, otherwise known as “Dracula's Castle”. 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.

Next 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. Explore the Black Church, Hircher House and many other famous sights on a walking tour of the old town.
