Excursion from Bucharest: Exploring Bran, Sinaia and Brasov

See Dracula’s Castle, looming fortresses, and the country’s largest bell at the Black Church


Attractions and things to do - Excursion from Bucharest: Exploring Bran, Sinaia and Brasov

Indulge yourself with an extended break in Transylvania as you explore two of Romania’s most renowned castles, Bran and Sinaia, and spend an enchanted day at Brasov.

Admire the stunning Peles Castle, one of the best preserved and most beautiful royal residences in Europe. The castle also served as the retreat residence of most of Romania’s monarchs.

Visit the Bran Castle, whose striking hilltop appearance formed the basis for the myth of Dracula, and later became the summer retreat of a queen.

Uncover the wonders of Brasov, a jewel of the Middle Ages that still resonates with medieval charm.

This 12th century Saxon settlement is one of the Europe’s best-preserved cities from the medieval period. The ancient character of the place is evident in the imposing Gothic architecture and the labyrinthine cobbled streets.

Tour the Black Church, whose walls were darkened by the Great Fire of 1689, and learn about the man that brought Lutheranism and the printing press to Transylvania
