Itinerary
Day 1
Going to Bran and Rasnov one can really experience the feeling of what it was like to live in those times and places. As you wander through the mazes of rooms, stairways, secret passages and levels connected with wooden ladders, it's easy to imagine the history and secrets hidden there. And both locations are on mountaintops, so you can walk around outside for great views and fresh Carpathian Mountain air.
Most people know Bran Castle as âDracula's Castleâ, 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.
Rasnov is a massive 13th century fortress built on a 150 meters high hill.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 a well, 143 meters deep wich took 17 years to finish.
Peles Palace Sinaia
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.'

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.
