Bucharest to Brasov Tour in Transylvania, Peles and Dracula Castle, in 2 Days
This Bucharest to Brasov 2-day Tour will be a much more complex and relaxing Transylvanian experience compared to a day trip to Dracula Castle.
The city of Brasov, or Kronstadt, was a typical Transylvanian town in the medieval period. This charming city is placed at the foot of the Tampa Mountain and is one of the most beautiful and most visited cities in Romania. Barsov was founded by German colonists who arrived in Transylvania at the beginning of the 13th century. Here you'll see the Black Church - the largest gothic church in this part of Europe, a charming historical center and sections of the medieval fortification of the city. Moreover, this beautiful town has some connections with Vlad the Impaler - Dracula.
Peles Castle is one of the most beautiful castles in Europe. It was built in 1883 by the first king of Romania, Carol I. This unique building was meant to be a royal summer residence and, above all, the cradle of this Dynasty in Romania.
Bran Castle is a 650 years castle placed on a cliff, somewhere in South Eastern Transylvania, a land full of legends and ancestral beliefs about a variety of evil creatures. This castle who heated everyone's minds, being wrapped in superstitions related to vampires was initially a medieval fortress and later on a lovely summer residence owned by The Queen Marie of Romania. Bran Castle became the very famous Dracula's Castle after Bram Stoker's novel, "Dracula".
