Description

Discover the real history of Bran Castle on a small-group tour from Brașov. Travel in a comfortable hybrid vehicle and enjoy the dramatic scenery of the Bârsa Valley and Bucegi Mountains.
Begin your day with a comfortable hotel pickup (or another agreed meeting point) in Brașov. Travel by eco-friendly hybrid vehicle through the Bârsa Valley, with the Bucegi Mountains rising to your east and the Piatra Craiului ridge framing the horizon ahead.

Arrive at Bran Castle, perched on a 60-meter rock above the Bran gorge. Learn about its history as a medieval customs post, a royal hunting retreat, a beloved home of Queen Marie of Romania, and a Cold War-era museum frozen in time.

With a small group, move at a human pace. No fighting through crowds on the main staircases, no shouted commentary over tour bus noise. Your guide will bring the castle and its inhabitants to life — from the Teutonic Knights who first fortified the pass, to the remarkably modern Queen who transformed it into a home, to the communist expropriation that left her daughter's family dispossessed for decades.
