Peles Castle

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
Nestled at the foot of the Bucegi Mountains in the picturesque town of Sinaia, Peles Castle is a masterpiece of German new-Renaissance architecture, considered by many one of the most stunning castles in Europe. Commissioned by King Carol I in 1873 and completed in 1883, the castle served as the summer residence of the royal family until 1947. Its 160 rooms are adorned with the finest examples of European art, Murano crystal chandeliers, German stained-glass windows and Cordoba leather-covered walls. King Carol spared no expense. Peles Castle was the first European castle to have electricity, it even has its own power plant. The Castle has hot and cold running water, central heat and central vacuum system.

Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle)

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
Commonly known outside Romania as Dracula's Castle it is often referred to as the home of the title character in Bram Stoker's Dracula. There is no evidence that Stoker knew anything about this castle, which has only tangential associations with Vlad the Impaler, voivode of Wallachia, the putative inspiration for Dracula. Stoker's description of Dracula's crumbling fictional castle also bears no resemblance to Bran Castle.

Brasov Historical Center

  • 2h
Brasov is one of the most visited cities in Romania, offerings its tourists a rich mix of history, architecture, culture, urban fun, and impressive natural surroundings. A top tourist attraction in Romania, the city was for centuries a key commercial center and a strong industrial hub during the long decades of communism when its name changed for 10 years to Stalin City.

Day 2: From Sighișoara to Bucharest

  • 5 stops
  • Meals: Not included
  • Accommodation: Not included

Centrul Istoric Sighisoara

  • 3h
Sighișoara (Sighișoara Citadel) it was built in the 12th century by Saxon settlers. It is an inhabited medieval citadel that, in 1999, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its 850-year-old testament to the history and culture of the Transylvanian Saxons. Birthplace of Vlad III the Impaler (Dracula), Sighișoara hosts, every year, a medieval festival where arts and crafts blend with rock music and stage plays. The city marks the upper boundary of the Land of Sachsen. Like its bigger brothers, Sibiu (Hermannstadt) and Braşov (Kronstadt), Sighișoara exhibits Medieval German architectural and cultural heritage that was preserved even during the Communist period.

Le Lac Balea

  • 30m
Bâlea Lake is a breathtaking glacier lake situated at an altitude of 2,034 meters (6,673 feet) in the rugged Făgăraș Mountains of central Romania. Formed thousands of years ago by retreating glaciers, the lake spans about 4.6 hectares and reaches depths of over 11 meters, boasting pristine, crystal-clear alpine waters.

Transfagarasan Highway

  • 2h
The Transfăgărășan (officially designated as National Road 7C) is a world-famous, dramatically winding mountain highway in Romania. It cuts directly through the Făgăraș Mountains—the highest peaks of the Southern Carpathians—and connects the historic regions of Transylvania and Wallachia. It is widely considered one of the most scenic and thrilling driving routes on Earth, famously dubbed by the TV show Top Gear as "the best road in the world."

Vidraru Dam

  • 30m
Vidraru Dam is a monumental concrete arch dam located in the Făgăraș Mountains of Romania, built across the Argeș River canyon. Completed in 1966 during the communist era, it is one of the country's most impressive engineering marvels and a major highlight along the southern section of the Transfăgărășan highway.

Poienari Castle

  • 15m
Exterior Only, we do not climb 1480 steps! Poenari Fortress (also known as Poenari Citadel or Castle) is a ruined medieval stronghold dramatically perched on a steep cliff overlooking the Argeș River canyon. Located at the southern entrance of the Transfăgărășan highway, it is world-famous for being the authentic, historical castle of Vlad the Impaler—the 15th-century Romanian ruler who inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Unlike Bran Castle (which is often marketed as "Dracula's Castle" but has very few ties to Vlad), Poenari was his primary secondary residence, military outpost, and refuge.
