All about the trip

We will start our journey in the morning towards the Bucegi Mountains and Prahova Valley. This is one of the most attractive mountain regions in Romania. We will enter the mountain region to discover a valley that was deeply loved by the Romanian royal family. That even convinced them to settle a beautiful summer residence in Sinaia. Here we will visit the marvelous Peles castle. This is probably the most beautiful castle in Romania, built in an enchanting Bavarian style by our first king.

We will move on towards another remarkable monument in the Romanian landscape. The Bran castle is mostly known as Dracula castle! This is surely the most wanted attraction of Romania. We will use the time to unravel its mysteries and learn more about this legend and his history.

After this magical experience, we will arrive in one of Romania’s most beautiful towns. This town lies right at the feet of the mountains. Brasov was once a mighty stronghold protecting the border against invasions. The city was built by Saxons and was remarkably preserved throughout time. Now, housing Romania’s biggest gothic church named The Black Church after a major fire.

Numerous possibilities of spending time lie ahead since there is still so much more to see here.
