Description
Discover Romania’s castles and medieval towns on a 2-day tour from Brasov. Visit Peleș Castle, Bran Castle, Sighișoara, and more.
Begin your journey in Sinaia, where the elegant Peleș Castle rises like a fairytale palace surrounded by Carpathian forests. Its richly decorated halls, stained-glass windows, and royal collections reveal the lifestyle of Romania’s former kings. Nearby, Pelișor Castle adds a more intimate perspective on the royal family.
In the afternoon, head to Bran, where the iconic Bran Castle, often linked to the Dracula legend, dominates the cliffs. Its narrow corridors, wooden rooms, and medieval towers make the visit both atmospheric and inspiring. Spend the evening in the old town of Brașov, enjoying the Black Church, Council Square, and lively cafés nestled between centuries-old buildings.
On the second day, continue to the medieval citadel of Sighișoara, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its colorful houses, cobblestone streets, and the famous Clock Tower create the impression of stepping back in time. Exploring the fortifications and craft streets reveals traditions preserved for hundreds of years.
End the day in Rupea or Viscri, visiting well-kept Saxon fortified churches and discovering rural Transylvanian life. This two-day trip captures the essence of Romania’s historical landscape—magnificent castles, fortified cities, and timeless atmosphere.
