Optional Sightseeing Stops

Peleș Castle – Sinaia

A symbol of royal elegance, Peleș Castle is located in the scenic mountain resort of Sinaia. Commissioned by King Carol I in 1873, it became the royal family's summer residence and the first castle in Europe fully powered by locally produced electricity. Each room in the castle showcases a different architectural style and decorative theme, making it a masterpiece of German new-Renaissance design and one of the most beautiful historic residences in Europe.

Bran Castle (Dracula’s Castle)

Perched atop a dramatic cliff, Bran Castle is famously linked to the Dracula legend. Built by the Teutonic Knights and later transformed into a royal residence for Queen Marie, the castle is now a museum exhibiting her personal collection of furniture, art, and artifacts. With its gothic towers and sweeping views, Bran Castle is a must-see blend of history, myth, and national heritage.

Curtea de Argeș Monastery

This 16th-century Orthodox cathedral is both a spiritual site and a national treasure. Built in Byzantine style with Moorish influences, the Curtea de Argeș Monastery is known for its architectural beauty and the poignant Legend of Master Manole, who is said to have sacrificed his wife in the building's southern wall so the church would stand. The site remains one of Romania's most revered pilgrimage destinations.

Făgăraș Citadel

One of the best-preserved fortresses in Transylvania, Făgăraș Citadel was built over the ruins of a 12th-century wooden fort destroyed by the Tatars. Between the 15th and 17th centuries, the citadel was expanded into a formidable structure with 85 rooms, including a torture chamber. A hidden tunnel and a grim history of executions within its walls add to the citadel’s powerful atmosphere. Since 1954, it has housed the Făgăraș County Museum, preserving centuries of regional history.

Sibiu – European Capital of Culture

A jewel of Transylvania, Sibiu is renowned for its cultural legacy, Saxon architecture, and well-preserved medieval charm. Named European Capital of Culture in 2007, the city’s Old Town features narrow cobblestone streets, 17th-century buildings with steep gables, and wide squares dominated by Gothic churches. Once a major hub of the Transylvanian Saxons, Sibiu combines historical depth with modern vibrancy, making it an unmissable cultural destination.
