Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Statuia lui Spiru Haret din Bucuresti, Piaka Universitakii, sector 3, Bucharest Romania
Early in the morning meet your tour guide/driver in front of your centrally located hotel/accommodation in Bucharest. Start the day with a short drive (120 km/75 mi; 2 - 2 and 1/2 hours) from Bucharest to Sinaia, taking in beautiful views of the Carpathian Mountains and their foothills.
This short but enjoyable drive is a good opportunity to get acquainted with Romanian history and learn a few basic things about the places we are going to visit during the day.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Peles Castle, Str. Pelesului 2, Sinaia 106100 Romania
Mountains, castles and legends! - the perfect combination for a full day out!
At the beginning of this day tour, after the short drive from Bucharest, you'll explore a majestic palace, set amongst landscapes that will take your breath away: Peles Palace in Sinaia, the former summer residence of the Romanian Royal family. One of the most innovative, modern and beautiful residences of an European Royal family at the end of the 19th century, Peles Palace still has the power to astonish the thousands of tourists who visit the site every day.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Bucegi Mountains, Main Steet Bucegi Mountains, Sinaia 106100 Romania
From Sinaia to Bran, the drive alone will prove to be spectacular, as you climb the windy mountain roads and (optional) visit the beautiful Rasnoavei Gorge along the way.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle), Str. General Traian Mosoiu nr. 24, Bran 507025 Romania
Lunch break in a traditional restaurant along the road, either in Sinaia, Paraul Rece or Bran village.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle), Str. General Traian Mosoiu nr. 24, Bran 507025 Romania
After lunch, you'll have a different experience, the chance to visit a medieval castle, maybe the most renowned castle in Romania: Dracula's Castle, featuring towering spires, thick stone walls and a dramatic setting atop a 60 meters high rock in the village of Bran.
Unlike palaces, which were built for enjoyment, the castles were built for strength and protection. Their main purpose was to withhold enemy attacks and keep their occupants safe. And Bran Castle is one of the best examples.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Brasov Historical Center, Piazza Sfatului, Brasov Romania
Late in the afternoon, take a short ride from the village of Bran and head to Brasov, one of the seven walled cities built by the Saxons centuries ago in the southern part of Transylvania.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Brasov Historical Center, Piazza Sfatului, Brasov Romania
Take a stroll into the lovely pedestrian area, and a sightseeing tour of Brasov by car, including a view of the famous Black Church, the fortifications and some of the guild towers, the Romanian area of the city and St. Nicolas Church.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: University Palace, Universitatii Square Bucharest University, Bucharest Romania
Late in the evening return to Bucharest (180 km/110 mi; 2 hours).
End of service.
