Description
Explore Peles Castle, Bran Castle, and Brasov on a day trip from Bucharest. Discover the history of Vlad the Impaler, stroll through Brasov.
Begin your day with a prompt morning departure from Bucharest. Head to the Carpathian Mountains, ensuring you beat the crowds to the mountain passes.
First, explore Peles Castle, the former summer sanctuary of the Romanian monarchy. Nestled in the forest, this architectural masterpiece features over-the-top interiors, intricate woodcarvings, and a world-class art collection reflecting the 19th-century elite.
Next, ascend to the iconic Bran Castle. While famous for its connection to Bram Stoker’s vampire, your guided walk delves into the gritty history of Vlad the Impaler. Navigate secret stone staircases and narrow ramparts as you separate myth from reality in this 14th-century stronghold.
Then, head to Brasov for a guided stroll through its cobblestone core. Witness the towering Gothic Black Church, traverse the ultra-narrow Rope Street, and soak in the vibrant energy of Council Square, surrounded by colorful baroque facades.
Conclude the day with a return transfer to Bucharest
