Transylvania Break Tour

Embark on an unforgettable two-day journey through the enchanting heart of Transylvania, a land where time stands still and legends come to life. Your adventure begins in Bucharest, where you’ll meet your expert guide and travel to the majestic mountain resort of Sinaia, known as the Pearl of the Carpathians. Here, explore the magnificent Peles Castle, once the summer residence of Romania’s first royal couple, King Carol I and Queen Elizabeth. Renowned as one of Europe’s most beautiful castles, Peles dazzles visitors with its elegant architecture, intricate interior designs, and advanced 19th-century innovations such as electricity and central heating. Continue to the charming medieval city of Brasov, or Kronstadt as it was known by the Saxons, where cobblestone streets, colorful façades, and Gothic landmarks create a storybook atmosphere. Enjoy lunch in a traditional restaurant before exploring Council Square, the Black Church, and other architectural gems. As evening falls, journey to the UNESCO-listed citadel of Sighisoara, a perfectly preserved medieval town where lantern-lit streets and centuries-old buildings evoke the romance of a bygone era.

The next day begins with a captivating walking tour of Sighisoara Citadel, birthplace of Vlad the Impaler—better known as Dracula. Wander through its narrow streets to discover the Clock Tower, Covered Stairs, Church on the Hill, and the ancient Defense Towers, each telling a story of courage and craftsmanship. Continue your exploration to the idyllic Viscri Village, one of Transylvania’s most picturesque Saxon settlements, where you can admire the Viscri Fortified Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site supported by the efforts of His Royal Highness King Charles III. Stroll through the serene countryside, meet local artisans, and experience authentic rural life. Conclude your journey with a visit to the legendary Bran Castle, the fabled home of Dracula, standing proudly against the backdrop of the Carpathian Mountains. Discover the history and myths surrounding this medieval fortress before returning to Bucharest, carrying with you lasting memories of Transylvania’s timeless beauty, rich heritage, and fairytale charm.
