5Vladtastic experience
The highlight of my Bucharest adventure. Definitely DO IT!!!!!!
5Wonderful and so worth it!
Wonderful guide and great experience. The brasov castle was under construction but that was no one’s fault and couldn’t be controlled. So easy and we felt taken care of. One of my favorite tour experiences ever and I have done a lot
5A good fun day out
Not the real Dracula's castle, essentially set up for the tourists, but we still had fun. A good historical castle nontheless.
5Bran Dracula Castle FUN !
What a lovely day - especially in the snow. Bran (Dracula) castle was FUN, the town & Xmas Mkt so entertaining. The Eclairs at the coffee shop/hotel next to Peles Castle were the best ever ! Well worth the long trip.

About Bucharest
Belle-époque boulevards, Orthodox churches and communist-era monuments meet around a busy old town in Bucharest, Romania's capital.
The vast Palace of the Parliament, among the largest administrative buildings in the world, dominates the centre as a striking legacy of the Ceaușescu era. Calea Victoriei, the grand avenue, leads past the domed Romanian Athenaeum concert hall, the former Royal Palace that houses the National Museum of Art, and Revolution Square, where the events of 1989 unfolded.
Top-ranked sights in Bucharest: Palace of Parliament (Palatul Parlamentului), Revolution Square (Piata Revolutiei), Arcul de Triumf (Arch of Triumph).
