Itinerary
Day 1
Starting from Bucharest or from Brasov you can explore with our private tour in just one day 4 of the best castles in Transylvania.
Bran Castle - 14th century fortress was build to protect the border between Transylvania and Wallachia.
Most people know Bran as âDracula's Castle,â from Bram Stoker's novel.This story is loosely based on Vlad Tepes who ruthlessly defended this part of Transylvania, and in the process, the legend of his rather gruesome killings inspired the story of Dracula.We'll tell you how our cultures, histories and languages contributed to the legends of Dracula.
Rasnov is a massive 13th century peasant fortress.
It was built so large that the entire village could live there during a siege by the invaders â usually Turks or Tatars.
They were concerned about having enough water to get them through a prolonged siege, so they made the prisoners there dig well 143 meters deep, it took 17 years to finish. Peles Palace
If you could have a party anywhere, this is where you'd have it. It's over-the-top opulent with 160 rooms, a lot of them with different themes, like the Turkish and Moorish salons, rooms designed in Baroque and Rococo. Amazing carved and inlaid wood floors, panels, and ceilings, statues, paintings, armor and weapons, luxurious furniture, leaded glass windows. From the outside, the castle looks like a really nice hunting lodge with statues and fountains on the grounds, and an elegant clock tower. It's on a hill surrounded by rich forests and the towering peaks of the Carpathians.It gives a whole new meaning to âliving like a king.'
Pelisor Palace It was build by the second generation of royal family (king Ferdinand & Queen Maria) with a fresh art nouvoux style.It's not opulated decorated like Peles Palace but it has a romantic touch.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
