Itinerary and highlights

The former summer royal residence of the first king of Romania, Carol Ist. Built-in the second half of the XIXth century, Peles Castle remained an important legacy of the Romanian royal family, a symbol of honor and discipline. Prepare to discover the incredible story of the Romanian kings and the beauty of their castle.

We will continue the journey, entering Transylvania “the country beyond the forest”. Here is where you will see the second castle in the program, Bran Castle, a medieval construction that became so famous thanks to the legend of Count Dracula. You do not need special equipment to visit the castle, but our advice is not to forget the garlic!

Reaching Brasov, you will stop in the Old City center and visit the Council Square and the Black Church, the largest Gothic building in the Eastern part of Europe. Here, you will find out the story of the Saxons who colonized Transylvania in Medieval Age and their beautiful legacy which remained in very good shape despite time passing by.
