Itinerary and highlights

A jewel of the Romanian monarchy set in a picturesque landscape that can only compete with the paintings of the world's great artists, the castle of the princes from the romantic Christmas movies of Netflix and Hallmark is the 2nd most visited castle in Romania. A place of pilgrimage for art lovers, the Peles complex humbly preserves the heart of Queen Maria - the symbol of love for Romania.

Hidden from tourists for many years, transformed by the communists into a sanatorium, the castle at the bottom of the Bucegi Mountains has been revived by the tale of Nevermore Academy. Behind the film Wednesday, the mountain residence of the Cantacuzino family preserves unique stories from its members' long Romanian journey.

Who has heard of the movie Count Dracula? Correct answer! Everyone. Our travelers will also learn about the histories behind this story. Having gone through several stages of functionality, Bran Castle with its dark and Gothic appearance remains the most visited tourist attraction in Romania over the years. “Leeeeet’s shaaaaare soooome blooood!” - a cup of boiled red wine with cinnamon!
