Discover Peleș, Bran Castle and Brașov with a Local Guide

Escape Bucharest for a full-day journey through the heart of Transylvania and discover three of Romania’s most iconic destinations: Peleș Castle, Bran Castle, and the medieval city of Brașov.

Travel from Bucharest with a friendly local guide and experience the history, legends, architecture, and landscapes that make this one of Romania’s most popular day trips.

Your first stop is Peleș Castle, one of Romania’s most impressive royal residences. Surrounded by the spectacular Carpathian Mountains, this fairytale castle combines elegant architecture, lavish interiors, and fascinating stories about Romania’s royal family. Take your time to admire the castle from outside and, if you choose an option that includes entrance, explore its magnificent rooms and collections.

Continue to Bran Castle, famously associated with the legend of Dracula. Discover the history behind this dramatic medieval fortress and learn how the real history of the castle became connected with Bram Stoker’s fictional Count Dracula. Your local guide will help you separate historical facts from the myths and legends surrounding Bran Castle.

The final stop is Brașov, one of the most beautiful medieval cities in Romania. Walk through the historic centre, see the famous Black Church, explore Council Square, admire the colourful buildings of the old town, and discover the charming narrow streets of the city.

Throughout the day, your local guide will share stories and recommendations that you won't find in a standard guidebook, giving you a more personal perspective on Romania, Transylvania, and everyday local life.
