Bucharest to Transylvania, Dracula Castle and BRASOV Trip by Eddie

A must-do day trip when visiting Romania, a unique private tour by Eddie

More time for you - on this day trip we visit at leasure Brand Castle - known as Dracula Castle - and Brasov Old Town. Since Peles Castle is not part of our schedule, we spend more time for Dracula Castle and Brasov

This Bucharest to Transylvania, Dracula Castle and Brasov Day Trip is the very popular in Romania today. In a single day you have the chance to explore maybe the most famous castle in the world - Bran Castle, and a charming Transylvanian medieval town, Brasov.

Bran Castle was initially a medieval fortress and later on a lovely summer residence owned by The Queen Marie of Romania. Moreover, Bran Castle became the very famous Dracula's Castle for many reasons,  a strong one beeing Bram Stoker's novel, "Dracula". Therefore, we are talking about a 650 years old castle placed on a cliff, somewhere in South Eastern Transylvania, a land full of legends and ancestral beliefs about a variety of evil creatures.

Brasov, a typical Transylvanian medieval town, placed at the mountain foot. Here you'll see the Black Church - the largest gothic church in this part of Europe. Moreover, this beautiful town has some  connections with Vlad the Impaler - Dracula.

Welcome to Transylvania!  Ha ha ha ha haaaa...

Itinerary -  Bucharest to Transylvania, Dracula Castle (Bran Castle) and Brasov Day Trip by Eddie 

Our tour starts in the morning, in order to avoid Bucharest rush hour traffic. We head north toward Transylvania.

We will drive along the beautiful Prahova Valley and cross the picturesque Carpathian Mountains into the gothic Transylvania after crossing.

First stop will be Bran Castle - known as Dracula Castle, and if you'll have enough courage🙂we are going to hunt Count Dracula. 

The second stop will be Brasov,  for lunch, free time. I have beautiful stories to tell about this charming place and you will discover here the Old Town and admire the Council Square, the Black Church and the Rope Street.

After Brasov we head back to Bucharest.

Our tour ends in Bucharest after a full beautiful day.

For private tours - by request and only if possible - we could skip (ongoing) some of the tour components in order to have more time for others. Also,  we could have a different tour configuration, based on a prior request (the tour price might be different in this case).

The order of visiting the places can be changed before or during the tour, at our sole discretion
