From Bucharest to Sighișoara

Peles Castle - Nestled at the foot of the Bucegi Mountains in the picturesque town of Sinaia, Peles Castle is a masterpiece of German new-Renaissance architecture, considered by many one of the most stunning castles in Europe.

Commissioned by King Carol I in 1873 and completed in 1883, the castle served as the summer residence of the royal family until 1947. Its 160 rooms are adorned with the finest examples of European art, Murano crystal chandeliers, German stained-glass windows and Cordoba leather-covered walls.

King Carol spared no expense.
Peles Castle was the first European castle to have electricity, it even has its own power plant.
The Castle has hot and cold running water, central heat and central vacuum system.

Bran Castle (Dracula’s Castle) - Commonly known outside Romania as Dracula’s Castle it is often referred to as the home of the title character in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. There is no evidence that Stoker knew anything about this castle, which has only tangential associations with Vlad the Impaler, voivode of Wallachia, the putative inspiration for Dracula. Stoker’s description of Dracula’s crumbling fictional castle also bears no resemblance to Bran Castle.

Brasov Historical Center - Brasov is one of the most visited cities in Romania, offerings its tourists a rich mix of history, architecture, culture, urban fun, and impressive natural surroundings. A top tourist attraction in Romania, the city was for centuries a key commercial center and a strong industrial hub during the long decades of communism when its name changed for 10 years to Stalin City.

From Sighișoara to Bucharest

Centrul Istoric Sighisoara - Sighișoara (Sighișoara Citadel) it was built in the 12th century by Saxon settlers. It is an inhabited medieval citadel that, in 1999, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its 850-year-old testament to the history and culture of the Transylvanian Saxons.

Birthplace of Vlad III the Impaler (Dracula), Sighișoara hosts, every year, a medieval festival where arts and crafts blend with rock music and stage plays. The city marks the upper boundary of the Land of Sachsen. Like its bigger brothers, Sibiu (Hermannstadt) and Braşov (Kronstadt), Sighișoara exhibits Medieval German architectural and cultural heritage that was preserved even during the Communist period.

Sibiu - Sibiu was the largest and wealthiest of the seven walled citadels (Siebenburgen) built starting in the 12th century by German settlers known as ‘Transylvanian Saxons’.
The riches amassed by its guilds paid for the construction of both impressive buildings and the fortifications required to protect them.

Sibiu’s Old Town retains the grandeur of its earlier days when rich and powerful guilds dominated regional trade. Like Sighisoara and Brasov, it has a distinctly Germanic feeling. Sections of the medieval wall still guard the historic area, where narrow streets pass steep-roofed 17th century buildings with gable overhangs before opening into vast, church-dominated squares such as Great Square and Little Square.

Curtea de Arges Monastery - Curtea de Argeș Monastery it is renowned for its stunning architecture, including intricate stone carvings, and is a significant cultural and religious landmark in Romania.
The monastery is also associated with several historical and legendary tales, including the legend of Master Manole, a renowned builder.
King Carol I and King Ferdinand I are buried in the Royal Cathedral in Curtea de Argeș, while King Michael I is buried at the Royal Cathedral in Curtea de Argeș. King Carol II is buried in the Monastery of Curtea de Argeș.
