Itinerary and highlights
Our first destination will be Peles Castle, situated in the picturesque mountain resort of Sinaia. This magnificent castle was constructed in the late 19th century as a summer residence for the Romanian royal family and is considered one of the most beautiful and well-preserved castles in Europe.
I highly recommend visiting all three levels of the castle, including the ground floor, the royal apartments, and the guest apartments, despite what other tour companies may offer. With me, you will have the opportunity to see the entire castle. It is highly recommended to choose the ticket that grants access to all three levels of the castle. During your visit, you will discover the castle’s opulent rooms, including the grand reception hall, the royal bedrooms, the ladies-in-waiting apartments, and the exquisite art and sculpture galleries. - - entrance fees per person at Peles Castle - 100lei(23$)
After our visit to the magnificent Peles Castle, we will continue to the beautiful Cantacuzino Castle, widely recognized as the "Wednesday Castle" after serving as a filming location for Netflix's hit series Wednesday in 2021.
Built in the Neo-Romanian architectural style, Cantacuzino Castle is one of Romania's most impressive aristocratic residences. It was commissioned by Prince Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino, one of the wealthiest men in Romania at the time, who sought to create a residence that could rival the splendor of King Carol I's Peles Castle. Surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery, the castle combines elegance, history, and modern pop-culture fame, making it a truly unique destination.
After visiting the Sinaia Monastery and Peles Castle, we will embark on an unforgettable journey through history at Bran Castle, famously known as Dracula’s Castle. This immersive tour will transport you to the world of Vlad the Impaler, the enigmatic medieval ruler.
As we explore the castle, you will uncover fascinating facts and legends surrounding its rich history. Discover the eerie chambers, unravel the secrets hidden within its labyrinthine passages, and immerse yourself in the captivating tales of Vlad the Impaler.
After our exploration, I would be delighted to recommend my father’s restaurant, which is situated in a remote location near the forest. It is a traditional restaurant and is considered the best in Rasnov. Here, you can savor the flavors of Romania while reflecting on the intriguing stories we’ve uncovered. Alternatively, feel free to ask me more about what interests you about Romania. - - Entrance fee per person at Bran Castle - 70 lei (16$)
