This private day trip from Bucharest focuses on the castles of Transylvania, including Bran Castle, often called Dracula's Castle, and Peles Castle. The tour lasts about 12 hours and is conducted by an English-speaking licensed guide and driver in an air-conditioned vehicle. Hotel pickup and drop-off in Bucharest are included. The trip begins with pickup from your Bucharest accommodation. The first main stop is Peles Castle in Sinaia, located 44 kilometers from Brasov. The castle is an example of German Renaissance architecture set against the Carpathian Mountains. Visitors spend about two hours exploring the castle and its surroundings. Next is Bran Castle, known for its connection to Vlad Tepes, the historical figure behind Bram Stoker's Dracula. The castle dates back to the 14th century and features medieval architecture. Guests have about two hours to tour the castle and learn about its history. After Bran, the tour continues to the historical center of Brasov, framed by the Southern Carpathian Mountains. The guide leads a walking tour lasting approximately two hours through the town's key sites, including the Black Church, Citadel of Brasov, Ecaterina's Gate, White Tower, Black Tower, Council Square, and the Palace of Justice. Additional brief stops are made at Piata Sfatului (Brasov's central square), the Black Church (the largest Gothic church in Romania), Rope Street (the narrowest street in Romania), and Catherine's Gate (a former fortress gate). Lunch and entrance fees to attractions are not included. Gratuities are also excluded. Assistance is available throughout the tour, and the vehicle is air-conditioned for comfort. On days when Peles Castle is closed, the itinerary substitutes Pelisor Castle if open, or Rasnov Fortress, a medieval peasant citadel from the 14th century.
