Day Trip from Bucharest:Peleș Castle,Dracula Castle & Brașov

Discover the history and legends of the region on a day trip from Bucharest. Visit Sinaia Monastery, explore Peleș Castle, and visit Bran Castle, the legendary home of Dracula.
Start your morning in Bucharest with a comfortable pickup and set off towards the mountains, following one of the most scenic routes in Romania – the Prahova Valley. As you drive through winding valleys and alpine landscapes, your guide will introduce you to the region’s history, legends, and cultural heritage.

Your first stop is Sinaia Monastery, often called “the Cathedral of the Carpathians.” Founded in the 17th century and inspired by the holy places of the Middle East, the monastery stands out with its unique Brâncovenesc-style architecture, elegant frescoes, and peaceful atmosphere at the foot of the Bucegi Mountains.

The journey continues with a highlight of the day: Peleș Castle, one of the most impressive royal residences in Europe. Built for Romania’s first king, Carol I, Peleș is a masterpiece of Neo-Renaissance architecture. Inside, each room has its own character, adorned with carved exotic wood, stained-glass windows, chandeliers, and exceptional art collections. The castle feels like a living museum, with breathtaking views over the surrounding mountain landscape.

Next, cross the mountains into Transylvania to reach the iconic Bran Castle — famous worldwide as the legendary home of Dracula. While exploring its narrow staircases, medieval chambers, and hidden corridors, you’ll learn the true history behind the myth and how Bram Stoker’s novel helped create the castle’s mysterious reputation. Bran is a perfect blend of romance, history, and legend.

The last part of the day takes you to Brașov, a charming medieval city nestled beneath the Carpathians. Here, you’ll enjoy free time to stroll through the cobblestone streets of the Old Town, explore the vibrant Council Square, admire the imposing Black Church, or simply relax at a café with views of the surrounding mountains.

After a full day of discovery — royal elegance, medieval secrets, mountain scenery, and Transylvanian charm — relax on the drive back to Bucharest, returning in the evening with unforgettable memories and plenty of photos.
