Your Experience

The mysterious castles of Romania

A day trip from Bucharest to the Gothic castles of Romania almost sounds too perfect! Hop into an AC vehicle and head towards Transylvania as you enjoy a picturesque route through the Carpathian Mountains. Ask all your questions about the Romanian attractions to your tour professional English-speaking driver or listen to an audio commentary available in Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, and French. The first stop is the Peles Royal Castle, the former residence of the Romanian Royal Family. You can purchase tickets to enter and explore this Neo-Renaissance castle, also known as Romania's most visited castle.

Continue your scenic drive through the Carpathian Mountains that'll take you to the mysterious Bran Castle, most popularly known as Dracula's Castle. Buy your tickets on the spot to enjoy a tour of this intriguing castle filled with dimly lit stairways, secret passages behind fireplaces, and ornate furniture once owned by royalty.

A walk through Brasov

Before heading back to Bucharest, you'll enjoy some spare time in Brasov, a medieval Romanian city. A short walking tour through the Old Town is a must, where you'll learn about the Saxons in Transylvania, gaze at well-preserved old-time architecture, notice iconic city landmarks like the Black Church, and discover famous streets like the Rope Street, Europe's second narrowest street.
