Optional Sightseeing Stops
Peleș Castle – Sinaia
Nestled in the Carpathian Mountains, Peleș Castle is a masterpiece of 19th-century architecture and royal elegance. Commissioned by King Carol I in 1873, it became the summer residence of Romania’s royal family and the first European castle fully powered by local electricity. With richly decorated rooms in various styles — from Baroque to Oriental — and exquisite woodwork, it remains one of Europe’s most beautiful historical residences.
Bran Castle (Dracula’s Castle)
Set atop a dramatic cliff, Bran Castle is world-famous for its connection to the Dracula legend — but its real story is just as compelling. Built by the Teutonic Knights and later a residence for Queen Marie of Romania, the castle today houses a museum with royal collections, medieval furniture, and artifacts. Its towers, narrow passages, and imposing silhouette make it a true icon of Transylvania.
Curtea de Argeș Monastery
A site of deep spiritual and national significance, Curtea de Argeș Monastery is known for its distinctive Byzantine architecture with Moorish influences. Built in the early 16th century, it’s also the setting of the famous Legend of Master Manole, who sacrificed his wife Ana to ensure the church would stand. Today, the monastery remains a revered place of pilgrimage and historical reverence.
Făgăraș Citadel
Located in central Transylvania, Făgăraș Citadel is one of the region’s most imposing medieval fortresses. Originally built over a 12th-century wooden structure destroyed by the Tatars, the current stone citadel dates back to 1310. Inside its 85 rooms, visitors can explore everything from noble chambers to a preserved torture chamber — and learn about its transformation into a powerful stronghold during the 15th–17th centuries.
Sibiu – A Saxon Jewel and Cultural Capital
Once the capital of the Transylvanian Saxons, Sibiu is a cultural treasure that combines medieval ambiance with modern vitality. Designated European Capital of Culture in 2007, its Old Town is filled with Gothic churches, 17th-century buildings, and historic city walls. Discover Great Square, Little Square, and charming cobbled streets that make Sibiu one of the most atmospheric cities in Eastern Europe.
