Activity itinerary

Peles Castle
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Nestled in the mountain town of Sinaia, at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains, surrounded by dense forests and alpine peaks, this fairytale-like castle was once the summer residence of Romania’s royal family. With our professional guide by your side, you’ll learn all about the fascinating history of this Neo-Renaissance masterpiece, commissioned by King Carol I in the late 19th century. Inside the castle, you'll explore some of the most lavish royal interiors in Europe. Richly decorated halls with carved wood paneling and stained glass ceilings. The Grand Armory Room, filled with medieval weapons and suits of armor. Royal bedrooms and salons, filled with fine art, crystal chandeliers, and intricate furniture. A beautifully preserved theater room and library, fit for a king. As you walk through the rooms, it’s like stepping into a royal dream, with each corner telling a story of power, elegance, and European sophistication. Outside, take a moment to admire the manicured gardens.
Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle)
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
The highlight of your Transylvanian adventure is undoubtedly Bran Castle, famously known around the world as Dracula’s Castle. Towering dramatically on a rocky cliff and surrounded by dense forest, this medieval fortress looks like something pulled straight from the pages of a gothic novel. As you arrive in Bran, your guide will share the real-life history and myths behind the castle — from its strategic military role to the tales that turned it into a pop-culture icon. What You’ll See Inside: Stone staircases and narrow corridors that lead through over 50 rooms filled with antique furniture, weapons, and artwork The Queen Marie Rooms, where Romania’s beloved queen once lived — discover her taste and legacy A secret staircase connecting different parts of the castle, adding to the mystery and medieval charm A central courtyard with a lovely stone well — a perfect photo spot Exhibitions about Vlad the Impaler, Romanian folklore, and Dracula’s global myth
Brasov Historical Center
  • 2h
Brașov’s blend of history, culture, and mountain charm makes it the perfect final stop before we begin our comfortable journey back to Bucharest. During the walking tour you’ll See: Council Square: The lively central square, lined with baroque buildings, cozy cafés, and local shops. It’s the heart of Brașov and a great place to soak in the city’s atmosphere. The Black Church: One of the most iconic Gothic monuments in Romania. Your guide will explain its fascinating past, including how it got its name after a great fire in the 1600s. Rope Street: One of the narrowest streets in Europe! A fun photo stop and a quirky reminder of medieval city planning. Catherine’s Gate and the Old City Walls: These remnants of Brașov’s fortified past will transport you to a time when the city defended itself from invaders. Mount Tampa Views: Look up and you’ll see the dramatic forested slopes of Mount Tampa, with the Hollywood-style “BRAȘOV” sign watching over the city.
