      Discover Enchanting Castles And Historic Charms

      ­Our journey begins in Bucharest, and within approximately 2 hours, we will arrive in Sinaia City, where our first destination awaits: Peles Castle. Renowned for its stunning German new-renaissance architecture, Peles Castle is often hailed as one of Europe’s most magnificent castles.

      ­ 

      Next, we will venture through the Carpathian Mountains en route to Bran Castle, surrounded by an aura of mystery and perched dramatically atop a 200-foot-high rock. This castle, famously associated with the legend of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, captivates with its imposing towers and turrets.

      ­ 

      In Brasov, you’ll discover Rope Street (Strada Sforii), one of Europe’s narrowest streets. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore the grandeur of the Black Church (Biserica Neagra), Romania’s largest Gothic church. Despite its ominous name, the Black Church’s architecture and history are nothing short of awe-inspiring.

      ­ 

      Your overnight stay will be in Brasov, completing a day filled with cultural exploration and historical marvels.

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Exploring Medieval Treasures: Sighisoara And Sibiu Adventure


      After breakfast, we will head to Sighisoara Medieval City, one of the most beautiful and best-preserved medieval towns in Europe. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this perfectly intact 16th-century gem boasts nine towers, cobbled streets, burgher houses, and ornate churches, rivaling the historic charm of Old Prague or Vienna.


      In Sighisoara, you’ll find the impressive Clock Tower, the birthplace of Vlad Dracula (Vlad the Impaler), and the Church on the Hill with its 500-year-old frescoes. Don’t miss the Church of the Dominican Monastery, known for its Transylvanian Renaissance-carved altarpiece, baroque pulpit, and Oriental carpets.


      Our final destination for the day is Sibiu, where you will stay overnight. Founded in the 12th century by Transylvanian Saxons, Sibiu was the largest and wealthiest of the seven walled citadels. The town’s Old Town retains the grandeur of its past, when rich and powerful guilds dominated regional trade.


      Sibiu is divided into two easily accessible levels: the Lower Town, lined with colorful houses on cobblestone streets and surrounded by imposing city walls and defense towers, and the Upper Town, home to most of Sibiu’s historic sights.
