Bear Sanctuary and Transylvania Day Tour Bear Sanctuary & Dracula's Castle Half-Day Tour

Visit a bear sanctuary, Bran Castle and hidden Transylvania gems — medieval Rupea Fortress and the volcanic Racos complex — in one full day.
Discover Transylvania beyond the usual route on this tour, available in three options so you can choose exactly what fits your day. Start with a visit to a bear sanctuary, home to rescued brown bears living in a natural forested environment. Continue to Bran Castle, the fortress popularly linked to the Dracula legend, perched above the Bran Gorge. Next, explore Rupea Fortress, a well-preserved medieval citadel built on a volcanic rock outcrop with panoramic views over the surrounding villages. The day concludes at the Racos geological complex, a protected volcanic breccia reserve with striking rock formations formed by an extinct volcano — one of the most unusual landscapes in Romania.

Choose your option before booking:

Bear Sanctuary only — a private half-day visit to the bear sanctuary. This is the only option that includes a live English-speaking guide.
Bear Sanctuary & Bran Castle — the sanctuary visit plus Bran Castle.
Full Day Tour — all four stops: bear sanctuary, Bran Castle, Rupea Fortress, and the Racos geological complex.

Please check the option title carefully before booking — each covers a different set of stops, and only the Bear Sanctuary option includes a live English-speaking guide; the other sites are visited at your own pace with your driver.

Travel comfortably by car with a professional driver, with pickup and drop-off at your accommodation in the Brasov area.
