Itinéraire

1. Early in the morning meet your tour guide/driver in front of your centrally located hotel/accommodation in Bucharest. Start the day with a short drive (120 km/75 mi; 2 - 2 and 1/2 hours) from Bucharest to Sinaia, taking in beautiful views of the Carpathian Mountains and their foothills. This short but enjoyable drive is a good opportunity to get acquainted with Romanian history and learn a few basic things about the places we are going to visit during the day.

   2 h

2. Mountains, castles and legends! - the perfect combination for a full day out! At the beginning of this day tour, after the short drive from Bucharest, you'll explore a majestic palace, set amongst landscapes that will take your breath away: Peles Palace in Sinaia, the former summer residence of the Romanian Royal family. One of the most innovative, modern and beautiful residences of an European Royal family at the end of the 19th century, Peles Palace still has the power to astonish the thousands of tourists who visit the site every day.

   1 h

3. From Sinaia to Bran, the drive alone will prove to be spectacular, as you climb the windy mountain roads and take in the beautiful views along the way.

   1 h

4. Lunch break in a traditional restaurant along the road, either in Sinaia, Paraul Rece or Bran village.

   2 h

5. After lunch, you'll have a different experience, the chance to visit a medieval castle, maybe the most renowned castle in Romania: Dracula's Castle, featuring towering spires, thick stone walls and a dramatic setting atop a 60 meters high rock in the village of Bran. Unlike palaces, which were built for enjoyment, the castles were built for strength and protection. Their main purpose was to withhold enemy attacks and keep their occupants safe. And Bran Castle is one of the best examples.

   1 h

6. Late in the afternoon, take a short ride from the village of Bran and head to Brasov, one of the seven walled cities built by the Saxons centuries ago in the southern part of Transylvania.

   45 min

About Bucarest

Boulevards belle époque, églises orthodoxes et monuments communistes autour d'une vieille ville animée : Bucarest, capitale de la Roumanie.

Le vaste Palais du Parlement, l'un des plus grands bâtiments administratifs du monde, domine le centre comme un héritage frappant de l'ère Ceaușescu. La Calea Victoriei, la grande avenue, passe devant la salle de concert à dôme de l'Athénée roumain, l'ancien Palais royal qui abrite le Musée national d'art, et la place de la Révolution, où se sont déroulés les événements de 1989.
