Full Day Tour of Transylvanian Castles from Brasov

This full day guided tour takes you from 13th century fortresses, to a 19th century fairy tale castle with lavish courtyards and majestic interiors.

Departing in the morning from Brasov, your first stop after about 30 minutes, will be the small town of Rasnov, home to Rasnov Citadel. You’ll explore this fortress which was built by Teutonic Knights, as a refuge for inhabitants of the area. Discover the history and enjoy the wonderful view over Brasov.

From there the tour continues to Bran Castle, commonly known as Dracula’s Castle, and a national landmark and monument in Romania. Here you can wander through the castle’s rooms and chambers which contain gothic furnishings, and learn details about the ghastly legends surrounding the castle.

Next we’ll cross the mountains to visit the most beautiful castle in Romania, Peles Castle. This castle, the summer residence of the royal family, showcases rooms beautifully decorated in Moorish and Florentine styles, wood carved ceilings, and famous art work, making this the gem of the crown among Romanian castles.

After a day of touring castles, and learning about the Transylvanian Highlands, the tour will conclude with a drive back to Brasov, returning around 4pm.
