Highlights
Do you like tales, legends and travel? You can have it all in only one day trip from Bucharest. A walk in the past from one castle to another, where legends and true stories blend. Bran Castle, also known as the residence of the legendary Prince of Darkness, Dracula is a medieval fortification, a real landmark for our country. Cantacuzino Castle has a great architectural, historical, documentary and artistic value. And it's also known as The Nevermore Academy, being the set for the Netflix show Wednesday. The road itself to reach the place is a beautiful experience, sliding through the Carpathian mountains, Romanian plains and the oil fields. One last stop before heading back to Bucharest will be at the Snagov Lake. The grave of Vlad the Impaler (a.k.a. Dracula), was discovered in the Monastery Snagov.

Itinerary
Bran Castle is one of the most famous landmarks in Transylvania, and is known as the home of Count Dracula. The 13th-century hillside castle and fortress, however, actually houses a collection of furniture and artworks that once belonged to Marie, the beloved queen of Romania. Tour the eerie castle and decide for yourself what's fact or fiction.
The filming location of the Netflix series 'Wednesday', Cantacuzino Castle is the legacy of a Great Byzantine Family. Built in an authentic architectural style, Cantacuzino Castle rises in front of the Bucegi Mountains, offering one of the most spectacular views in Romania. The richly decorated castle and its park offers an unforgettable experience, being one of the most popular tourist attractions in the entire area. The castle is the reflection of the taste and ambitions of its owner, Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino, the richest man in Romania in the early 20th century.
On the way back to Bucharest, passing the oil fields we have one more short stop on the shore of the biggest natural lake of Romania, Snagov. The only island of the lake is the burial ground of the one who inspired the legend of Dracula, Vlad the Impaler, Governor of the medieval principality of Wallachia. The monastery itself has 800 years of history.

About Brașov
Brașov is a medieval Transylvanian city ringed by the Carpathians, with a Gothic Black Church, a cobbled main square and day trips to Bran Castle.
Brașov lies in a basin of the Carpathian Mountains in central Romania, with the wooded Tâmpa hill rising above its old town. The city was built up by German settlers, the Transylvanian Saxons, and its centre is a tidy grid of baroque houses around Council Square, with the Old Council House in the middle. The Black Church, the largest Gothic church between Vienna and Istanbul, was blackened by a fire in 1689.
Top-ranked sights in Brașov: Black Church (Biserica Neagra), Council Square (Piata Sfatului), Rope Street (Strada Sforii).
