Day I To Peles and Brasov

17

Your two day excursion starts with a scenic drive north from Bucharest, through the ski resorts of the Carpathian Mountains. Stop and visit Peles Castle, one of the most astonishing royal residences of Europe. Then, undeterred by Transylvania’s sinister reputation, cross into this mythical land named by the Romans and hectically fought over by Romanians, Hungarians, Ottoman Turks and Austrians. In the nearby walled city of Brasov, you will walk through the streets of the Medieval old town and be dwarfed by its majestic 14th century Gothic cathedral. In the early evening, check into an old baron’s estate turned into a cozy luxury hotel. Take a swim or just have some rest, waiting for your short carriage ride over the fields to a sheepfold, where you will join the shepherds for a memorable dinner of their self-made cheese, moonshine and steaming stew around the open fire.

  • Peles Castle visit;
  • Walking tour of Old Town Brasov;

    Day II. To Bran and Bucharest

    18

    In the morning, we head to Malomkert, a village inhabited predominantly by Hungarians. Find out more about the old technologies in the amazing (but virtually unknown) local museum, tended to by four consecutive generations of the same enthusiastic family. Marvel at the extensive collection of agricultural machinery from the late 19th century, the cellar full of cooking stoves and step into the authentic homes (rebuilt on the property) full of items from past times. Meet the caretakers and hear their story. Proceed with the UNESCO peasant-built multi-story fortification complex of Prejmer, where the foremost local families had a refuge room to run to during the frequent invasions. On our way back to Bucharest, we stop at Bran Castle. Within its age beaten confines, find out about its true histories and Dracula legends. Drop off at your hotel or at the airport. End of our services.
