Leave the bustle of Bucharest behind and step into a world of wild nature and ancient legends in Transylvania. This unforgettable full-day experience takes you deep into the Carpathian Mountains, where you’ll encounter Europe’s largest bear sanctuary and explore one of the world’s most famous castles — Bran Castle, known as Dracula’s Castle.
Tour Highlights
Visit Europe’s Largest Bear Sanctuary
Your adventure begins at the Libearty Bear Sanctuary in Zarnesti, a vast 69-hectare forest refuge where nearly 90 rescued brown bears now live freely. Watch these magnificent animals climb trees, swim in natural pools, and relax in open meadows. Rescued from captivity and exploitation, the bears have found a safe and peaceful home here since 2008 — a truly moving experience for wildlife lovers.
Explore Bran Castle – Home of Dracula’s Legend
Next, enjoy a scenic drive through the Carpathian Mountains to the legendary Bran Castle. Dramatically perched on a rocky hill, this medieval fortress is steeped in mystery and folklore. Wander through narrow stairways, hidden passages, and atmospheric wooden rooms while learning about the legends of Dracula and the real history of Vlad the Impaler. Inside, discover medieval artifacts, weapons, and armor, all framed by spectacular mountain views.
Breathtaking Carpathian Scenery
Along the way, soak in the stunning landscapes of the Carpathians — rugged peaks, dense forests, and charming villages that reveal the true spirit of Transylvania.
Comfortable Return to Bucharest
After a full day of exploration, relax on the return journey to Bucharest, bringing back unforgettable memories and incredible photos.
