Set your alarm for 7:00 a.m. to begin this 12-hour tour across Transylvania, which promises to show its enchantment and allure. Prepare for a day full of lasting experiences and a renewed appreciation for Romania’s fascinating history. Our knowledgeable and friendly guide will comfortably pick you up from your accommodation to start your Bran Castle Tour.
Enjoy the beautiful countryside as you head out of Bucharest towards the first stop of the day: the Libearty Bear Sanctuary. Located in Zarnesti, the Bear Sanctuary is tucked away in the stunning Carpathian Mountains. More than a hundred bears that were rescued from a life of abuse and captivity now reside in the sanctuary. It is a wonderfully heartwarming experience to see the bears roam, play, and relax in their vast natural habitat while you explore the sanctuary and learn about its important conservation efforts.
After visiting the bear sanctuary, proceed to the legendary tour of Bran Castle, commonly referred to as Dracula’s Castle. This enormous fortress, built above a rocky hill, has captivated innumerable visitors with its mysterious aura and fascinating history. Explore the castle’s cryptic halls, hidden staircases, and dark hallways to learn about the legend of Count Dracula, the world’s most well-known vampire. The tour guide will share with you fascinating anecdotes about the castle’s history, including its relationship to the notorious Vlad the Impaler, and the real-life inspiration for the Dracula character.
Following your thrilling tour of Bran Castle, proceed to the lovely city of Brasov, a true jewel of Transylvanian history and architecture. Brasov, founded by the Teutonic Knights in 1211 and encircled by the Carpathian Mountains, is a wonderful combination of Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance architectural styles. Take a guided walking city tour and see its magnificently preserved mediaeval buildings, such as the imposing Black Church and the attractive Council Square, which is filled with colourful baroque residences.
Complete your journey by going down Europe’s narrowest street, Rope Street, and remember to capture precious moments with your camera amidst the city’s twisting cobblestone lanes and hidden alleys.
After a day filled with remarkable experiences, you’ll be transported back to Bucharest, marking the final chapter of your short but delightful Transylvanian holiday. This staggering day excursion provides a view into Romania’s rich history, culture, and natural splendour, making it an excellent alternative for those looking to explore beyond Bucharest’s borders.
