Description
Discover Transylvania in 4 unforgettable days. From royal castles and medieval towns to hidden Saxon villages and rescued bears, this private journey blends history, culture, and authentic local life.
Step into a land where history feels alive and every road leads to a story.
This 4-day private experience takes you far beyond the typical “Dracula tour.” You will explore royal castles, walk through UNESCO-listed villages, and discover places that most travelers never reach.
Start with the elegance of Peleș Castle, a masterpiece hidden in the Carpathian Mountains, then continue to Bran Castle, known for its legends and dramatic setting.
Wander through Brașov’s charming streets, then travel into rural Transylvania where time seems untouched. In Viscri, experience a traditional Saxon village where life still follows old rhythms. Continue to Sighișoara, one of the best-preserved medieval citadels in Europe and birthplace of Vlad the Impaler.
On the third day, discover Biertan’s impressive fortified church and explore Sibiu, a city full of character, colorful buildings, and unique architecture.
End your journey with a truly special moment at Libearty Bear Sanctuary, where rescued brown bears live safely in a natural forest environment. Before returning to Bucharest, visit Snagov Monastery, a peaceful place surrounded by water and legends.
This tour is designed for travelers who want more than just sightseeing — it’s about experiencing Transylvania in a real and meaningful way.
