The tour visits three main sites: Peles Castle, Bran Castle (also known as Dracula Castle), and the city of Brasov. The guide accompanies guests throughout the trip and provides opportunities for photo sessions. The first stop is Peles Castle in Sinaia, located in the foothills of the Bucegi Mountains. Built in the late 19th century by King Carol I, the castle reflects the contrasting personalities of the king and Queen Elizabeth, who were its first residents. Visitors can spend about two hours exploring the castle grounds. Note that Peles Castle has a limited number of tickets, so it is advised to purchase them online in advance. Also, the castle is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays for interior visits; on these days only the exterior can be viewed. Next, the tour continues to Bran Castle, which gained international fame through Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula. Though Vlad the Impaler likely never lived there, the castle is closely linked to the vampire legend. Visitors can spend around two hours touring the castle and learning about its history and the Dracula myth. The final stop is the city of Brasov, where guests have approximately two hours to explore. Brasov is known for its well-preserved medieval architecture and scenic surroundings. Entry tickets for the castles are not included in the price, and lunch is not provided during the tour.
