Day 2

Have breakfast at the hotel and meet your English speaking guide for today’s trip. At 8 am you will start your journey towards the Bucegi Mountains and Prahova Valley, one of the most attractive mountain regions in Romania.

You will discover a valley in the mountain region that was loved by the Romanian royal family. You will visit the marvelous Peles Castle in Sinaia, then move on towards another marking monument in the Romanian landscape, the Bran Castle, or also known as Dracula Castle.

After enjoying these important landmarks, you will arrive in one of Romania's most beautiful cities: Brasov. The city was built by Saxons, a group of Germanic tribes first mentioned as living near the North Sea coast of what is now Germany, in late Roman times, and was remarkably preserved throughout time, housing now Romania's biggest Gothic church, named The Black Church. Once you learn about the stories that this beautiful city has to offer, you can enjoy a well-deserved leisure break in the old town before riding back to the capital city.
