Summary

In the early morning, board a private vehicle at your Bucharest hotel and discuss the day’s itinerary with your personal guide. Admire dramatic mountain scenery as you travel through the Carpathian Mountains towards Peles Castle, a Neo-Renaissance gem commissioned by Carol I, Romania’s first king. Take a guided tour of the monument, whose every room is adorned with gorgeous upholstery, antique furniture, and classic art. Then, proceed through more beautiful scenery to Bran Castle (Dracula’s Castle), arguably Transylvania’s most popular attraction. As you explore the Gothic castle, listen to legends of Vlad the Impaler, a legendary Romanian ruler who inspired Bram Stoker to write his seminal masterpiece, Dracula. Your next stop is Rasnov Fortress; a 13th-century medieval stronghold perched on a mountain summit. Absorb stunning views of the surrounding scenery and discover the origin of the site before continuing to Brasov, a Gothic city home to historic monuments. During a walking tour of Brasov, you’ll see highlights such as the Black Church, one of Europe’s largest Gothic cathedrals, and Council Square. Following your Brasov tour, you’ll return to your Bucharest hotel.
