Tour itinerary overview

The private day trip begins with pickup at your chosen location in Bucharest or Otopeni. After a 2.5-hour scenic drive through the Prahova Valley, you’ll reach Sinaia, often called the “Pearl of the Carpathians”. Here you can stop for photos or a short visit to Peleș Castle – one of Europe’s most beautiful royal residences.

Next, continue to Bran Castle, also known as Dracula’s Castle. Explore its medieval halls, secret passages and towers while learning about the legends that made it famous. Entrance tickets can be purchased on-site or pre-booked upon request.

After the castle visit, your driver will take you to Brașov, a picturesque medieval city surrounded by mountains. Enjoy a walk in the Old Town, see the Council Square, the Black Church, and have lunch in a traditional restaurant before heading back to Bucharest.
