What to expect

  1. Peles Castle
    1h 30m · Admission ticket not included
    Nestled in the scenic Carpathian Mountains, Peleș Castle is one of Romania’s most stunning architectural masterpieces. Built in the late 19th century as a summer residence for King Carol I, the castle enchants visitors with its Neo-Renaissance style, richly decorated interiors, and breathtaking mountain views. Step inside and discover royal elegance, secret passages, and one of Europe’s finest collections of art, armor, and stained glass.
  2. Bran Castle
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Perched dramatically on a rocky hilltop, Bran Castle is Romania’s most famous and mysterious fortress. Often linked to the legend of Count Dracula, the castle blends myth and history with its medieval towers, hidden staircases, and centuries-old secrets. Explore dark stone halls, royal chambers, and panoramic views that have inspired stories for generations. A must-visit for lovers of history, folklore, and gothic charm.
  3. Brasov
    3h
    Nestled at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains, Brașov’s Old Town invites you to step back in time. Wander through Council Square, marvel at the imposing Black Church, and pass under the fairy-tale Catherine’s Gate. Discover hidden gems like Rope Street (Strada Sforii) – one of the narrowest streets in Europe – a charming passage that adds to the town’s unique character. With its medieval architecture, cozy cafés, and mountain backdrop, Brașov blends history, culture, and atmosphere like nowhere else. Perfect place to have lunch at a local restaurant and admire the mountains.
