Searching for Dracula: Private Day Trip from Bucharest

Highlights

Distinguish fact from fiction with a guide
Travel with ease between Transylvania highlights
Stray from the beaten path and enjoy fewer crowds

Summary

Your tour begins with hotel pickup in Bucharest, where you board a private vehicle destined for your first stop: Targoviste Princely Court, the real court of Vlad the Impaler. Admire the Transylvanian Alps, as you take a whistle-stop tour of Targoviste town, which is also home to Chindia Tower. Next up is Poienari Fortress, which sits on a clifftop overlooking the Arges Gorges. After climbing 1,480 steps to the top, you’re rewarded with panoramic views of the surroundings. Continue to Curtea de Arges, a city in the lower Carpathian Mountains, for a walking tour. The tour concludes with drop-off back in Bucharest.
