Detailed Itinerary
Depart for Peles Castle
Your trip begins as you depart from Bucharest to the picturesque Carpathian Mountains. The first stop is Peles Castle, a stunning example of neo-Renaissance architecture. Walk through the opulent rooms, where royalty lived in luxury, and hear fascinating stories about King Carol I and his vision for this stunning summer residence. Your guide will also share insights into the castle’s impressive art collection and its significance in Romanian history.
Discover Bran Castle
Next, you’ll journey to Bran Castle, often called “Dracula’s Castle.” While the myths around Dracula are largely fiction, this fortress has a deep connection to Romania’s history. Your guide will explain all the tales and legends, but also the castle’s strategic importance throughout history and its ties to the real-life figure, Vlad the Impaler.
Wander through its mysterious rooms and enjoy views from the battlements, reflecting on how this fortress shaped Romanian legend.
