Leave busy Bucharest behind on a day trip that you won’t easily forget! First off, go royal! Step into the shoes of kings and queens, and explore Peleș Palace – the private retreat of Romania’s royal family.
The beautiful mountain scenery and elegant terraced gardens add even more charm to this majestic 19th-century palace. Inside, everything spells luxury: golden chandeliers, walnut carvings, marble fountains, secret chambers, and a royal armoury.
Next, you’ll go even further back in time to the late Middle Ages. Myths and legends swirl around the massive Bran Castle, a stone giant that has guarded the passage to Transylvania since the 14th century.
Count Dracula vs. Prince Vlad the Impaler. Facts vs. fiction. Explore the castle, its outdoor village museum, and the House of Horrors.
The tour’s grand finale? An epic medieval fantasy started by the Teutonic Knights during their first decades of existence. We’ll visit the city of Brasov, founded by the knights in 1211 on an old Dacian site. Dramatically overlooked by Mount Tampa, the city’s medieval core is a mix of narrow cobblestone streets, craft guilds, fortified towers, gatehouses, and inns.
