Transylvania and Wallachia Castles Tour
At the indicated time we'll depart from the centrally located Modarom building in Brasov to start our tour of Transylvania and Wallachia.
Our first stop will be the municipality of Sinaia, in the mountainous area of Wallachia. The first buildings and the old church of the monastery were completed between 1690 and 1695.
Afterwards, we'll take a guided tour of the Peles Castle, a late 19th-century palace commissioned by King Charles I of Romania. This was the first building in Europe to have electricity and a lift. We'll explore its gardens and enter its majestic rooms featuring pre-World War I decorations.
Next, we'll head to Bran Castle, also known as “Dracula’s Castle”. Accompanied by your guide, visit its numerous rooms while learning about Vlad Tepes “the Impaler”, whose stories inspired Bram Stoker's novel “Dracula”.
Finally, we'll conclude the tour at the starting point, approximately 7 hours after the start of the activity.
