Route

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.

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.

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.

About Boekarest

Boekarest, de hoofdstad van Roemenië, brengt boulevards uit de belle époque, orthodoxe kerken en communistische monumenten samen rond een drukke oude stad.

Het enorme Parlementspaleis, een van de grootste administratieve gebouwen ter wereld, domineert het centrum als een opvallende erfenis uit de tijd van Ceaușescu. De Calea Victoriei, de grote laan, voert langs de koepelvormige concertzaal Roemeens Athenaeum, het voormalige Koninklijk Paleis, waar nu het Nationaal Kunstmuseum zit, en het Revolutieplein, waar de gebeurtenissen van 1989 zich afspeelden.
