Itinerary

Peles Castle

1 h 30 min Admission not included

Peles Castle is one of the most beautiful castles in Europe, a former royal summer residence. This impressive castle has enchanting surrounding, being placed at the mountain foot. You will be accompanied by our tour guide or the local castle guide inside the castle. You will have time for the interior visit and the garden.
Brasov

1 h 45 min

Usually this will be our second stop (attraction). Sometimes, especially during off-season and due to Bran Castle opening hours, I may choose to have the second stop at Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle).

Brasov is a charming Transylvanian city placed at the mountain foot. The most attractive part here is the medieval old town area. You will be dropped-off by our guide in the Old Town area. Here you will have free time for lunch/shopping and/or you could explore the Council Square with its former City Hall, the commercial street, the Black Church, which is the main city attraction, the Rope Street and more.
Bran Castle

1 h 30 min Admission not included

Bran Castle is maybe the most famous castle in the world. It is a relatively small Transylvanian fortress, built in a gothic romantic architecture style.

You will be accompanied by our tour guide inside the castle, in the first room. We are going to talk about Dracula's Castle mostly before our arrival. You will have time for the interior visit, the garden and the souvenir shops. Sometimes we may have here our second stop, therefore we may set your lunchtime here, before or after the castle visit.
