Peles Castle - Our first stop is Peles Castle, the former summer residence of Romanian kings, located in Sinaia. Built over more than 40 years at the end of the 19th century, the castle showcases a blend of neo-Renaissance and Gothic Revival architectural styles. Its interior boasts over 170 rooms, each decorated in various styles such as Florentine, Turkish, Moorish, French, and imperial.

Bran Castle (Dracula’s Castle) - Our second stop is Bran Castle, which dates back to the 14th century when it was constructed to protect Transylvania. It later served as a customs point for entry into Wallachia. In 1920, Queen Marie received the fortress as a gift, renovated it, and transformed it into the stunning castle we see today.

Black Church (Biserica Neagra) - Over 600 years old, the Black Church in Brasov is the most famous monument in this ancient Transylvanian town. It is the largest hall church east of Vienna and one of the largest medieval churches in this part of Europe.
