What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Peles Castle, Str. Pelesului 2, Sinaia 106100 Romania
The first stop we make is at Peles Castle. It is considered the most important historical (German-influenced) architectural ensemble in Romania. Due to its historical and artistic value, it remains one of the most important and beautiful monuments in Europe and one of the most visited tourist attractions in Romania (2nd place after Bran Castle).
The castle will surely impress you by its opulence, by the fact that it has 160 rooms, and that at its time it was fully electrified. It also had an elevator and a movable glass ceiling which opened on demand. The king used to impress his guests by showing them the starry summer night sky.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle), Str. General Traian Mosoiu nr. 24, Bran 507025 Romania
Next Stop: Dracula's Castle, supposedly to be the residence of Count Dracula
You won’t regret a moment if you choose to visit this castle, especially since it is located quite close to Brasov. You will be simply enchanted by the beauty of the castle and especially by the location and surroundings. So I invite you to let yourself be carried away by history and culture and you will leave home with an extraordinary positive charge of your soul.
Bran Castle is steeped in history. The character of Count Dracula first appears in the novel “Dracula”, written by the Irish writer Bram Stoker and published in 1897 in England. Originally the name Dracula is not at all frightening. It derives from the name given to an order of crusaders, the Order of the Dragon, with which both Vlad the Impaler and his father Vlad Dracul (a member of this order) were associated.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Rasnov Citadel: Garden and Panoramic View, Rasnov 505400 Romania
The last stop is your choice: Rasnov Fortress or Poiana Brasov
Râșnov Fortress is one of the most beautiful fortresses of the Romanian country. It has been chosen by many directors for filming in various eras, one of the most important films shot here being Cold Mountain, the Oscar-winning film starring Nicole Kidman. This rocky peak has been defended since the time of the Dacians, more than two thousand years ago, as recent archaeological discoveries prove. At a time when Bran Castle had not yet been built, Rasnov was an important point for trading and taxing merchants by the kingship. From here you can see the ridges of the Bucegi, the Postăvaru Massif and Piatra Craiului. You can also see almost the entire town of Râșnov, a combination of Romanian and Saxon culture, located at 650 m altitude.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Poiana Brasov, Poiana Brasov, Brasov County, Central Romania, Transylvania
Poiana Brasov is the most sought-after and popular mountain resort in the whole country. Here, winter after winter, thousands of tourists passionate about winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding gather. Poiana Brasov resembles a small town, with luxurious hotels and good restaurants and is to the liking of all those who choose to spend a few days here. In recent years new and modern locations have appeared, increasing the comfort and satisfaction of tourists. Hotels and guesthouses, tourist huts, a church, a skating rink, a zoo, a swimming pool, sports grounds, gymnasiums, slopes equipped with artificial snow and night facilities, ski lifts, chair lifts, cable cars have been built.
A walk in Poiana Brasov can be just what you need after a day full of history. The choice is yours!
