The Castles of Transylvania is the most popular day tour from Bucharest to Transylvania. And this is because in a single day you get to see three beautiful places that would be very hard to get to on your own:
- The Peles Castle is the historic residence of the first Romanian King, Carol I. It is a jewel of the 19th century architecture and the landscape that surrounds it is simply mesmerizing.
- The Bran Castle (aka “Dracula’s Castle”) is a medieval fortress with a beautiful, rich and romantic history that made it famous. Spoiler alert: it was also a Royal Residence!
- The Old Town of Brasov is a lovely historic area to explore on a walking tour. It will make you fall in love with Transylvania and its rich heritage!
Our team of guides at When in Bucharest is in love with Bucharest and sharing the best of it.
But, if you were to get outside of Bucharest, we would warmly recommend the Castles of Transylvania tour for four reasons:
- A fast and comfortable way to see a lot of beautiful heritage. Booking a private tour in English will get you fast to these 3 highlights, optimizing the route. Booking a tour spares you the planning, long driving / train & bus changing. Plus, you will enjoy the guide’s experience and stories.
- A great quality / price ratio. A private tour provides a unique experience, tailored to your rhythm and interests.
- Great if your are short on time. If you’re in Bucharest just for the weekend and you want to see as much as possible of Romania, this tour is for you.
- Enjoy a day out of the city & admire the gorgeous nature in the mountains. Enjoy the beautiful mountain landscapes of the Carpathians and see the beautiful architecture from Transylvania, both rural and urban.
