What you can expect

Escape the city and step into the heart of Transylvania — a land of dramatic mountains, royal splendour, and legendary mysteries.
This unforgettable full-day journey invites you to discover one of Europe’s most fascinating regions, where medieval castles rise from forested hills and the legends of Dracula still whisper through the Carpathians.

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Bucharest to the charming mountain town of Sinaia, home to the spectacular Peles Castle — often called the most beautiful castle in Romania. Hidden among fir trees and mountain peaks, this former summer residence of King Carol I is a masterpiece of German Neo-Renaissance architecture. Built in the late 19th century, Peles Castle was the first fully electrified castle in Europe, and its exquisitely preserved interiors transport you straight into the elegance of royal life. Every hall, staircase, and ornate room tells a storey of luxury, innovation, and history.

Next, the journey continues through the breathtaking landscapes of the Carpathian Mountains, leading you to the legendary Bran Castle, famously known as Dracula’s Castle. Perched dramatically on a rocky hill, this Gothic fortress is wrapped in myth and mystery. Wander through its narrow stairways, hidden corridors, and medieval chambers as you uncover the stories that inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Inside, you’ll explore remarkable collections of medieval furniture, weapons, and armour dating from the 14th to the 19th centuries — a true step back in time.

As the day draws to a close, relax on the return journey to Bucharest, carrying with you unforgettable memories, stunning photos, and the magic of Transylvania.

  • Two of Romania’s most iconic castles in one perfectly planned day

  • A seamless blend of history, legends, and spectacular natural scenery
