Let’s enjoy a fun day together exploring the region of Brasov and, of course, visiting the Bran Castle, also known as Dracula’s Castle.
There are so many legends and stories that made the famous Wallachian prince so famous. Lots of Hollywood films and shows have been made, all talking about a cruel count using various methods of punishment including impaling. But, how much is it a legend and how much is it true? Who was the mysterious Vlad the Impaler and why did Bram Stocker place the action of his novel in Transylvania?
Also, what is the connection of Bran Castle with the prince and is the Netflix production (“The Ottomans”) true or fiction?
We’ll talk about all of these while visiting the castle in Bran. Of course, we’ll also enjoy the beautiful views, the elegant garden of the castle and its architecture.
Furthermore, we’ll spend the second part of the day in Brasov, one of the most beautiful Saxon towns in Romania, with an amazing architecture and great places to explore.
Thus, we invite you to a great Sibiu – Brasov – Bran Castle day tour, with lots of stories and interesting sites!
This is a tour that normally starts/ ends up in Sibiu. But, at your request, we can drop you off in Brasov.
The departure hour is set together with our travelers.
This is a long day with a long drive so, get ready for a full day adventure.
We’ll drive, first, to Bran Castle. Firstly, we start our visit with a stop in its beautiful garden, by the bank of the lake, at the bottom of the castle. It is a great place to enjoy the view and talk about the history of the castle, about Vlad the Impaler and Dracula stories, about the evolution of the castle and how it became so popular. We’ll also talk about Queen Maria of Romania and her role in the restoration and rehabilitation of the castle.
Inside the castle, we’ll explore its amazing architecture and galleries and discover more interesting facts about its history.
After the visit of the castle we’ll head to Brasov. You can have a lunch/ coffee break either in Bran or in Brasov, there are many possibilities.
In Brasov, we’ll have a pleasant walking tour around the Old Town visiting some of the most important attractions in the city (the Black Church, the Council Square, the old fortification walls, the Black Tower, the White Tower, the main pedestrian street, the Rope Street, the Schei Gate). We’ll explore the city and you can also enjoy some free time.
We’ll drive from Sibiu early in the morning (as this is a 2.3 hours drive). We visit first the garden of the castle and, then, the interior with its various rooms and galleries. The visit lasts about 1.3 hours.
After the visit at the castle, you can have a coffee or lunch break – it can be either in Bran at one of the terraces or in Brasov (there are various options). The drive from Bran to Brasov is of about 30 minutes.
In Brasov we’ll enjoy a sightseeing tour in the Old Town and we’ll finish in the main square. It is a great place to have some free time and explore the surroundings. We are back in Sibiu in the early evening.
