Leave behind the metropolis of Bucharest for an intriguing sightseeing tour. Your first stop is Sinaia, otherwise known as the “Pearl of the Carpathians!” Here, you'll visit the Peles Castle, the former summer residence of the Romanian Royal Family. You'll then visit the Sinaia Monastery, a 300-year-old historic soul of the city and a cherished monument. Drive on to Bran, which is known for its famous medieval castle, The Dracula's Castle! For years now, this has been an interesting medieval art museum. Enveloped by an aura of mystery and legend, the Bran castle is perched atop a 200-foot-heigh rock, owing its fame to its imposing towers and turrets. While its association with Dracula is sketchy at best, the castle holds a strong attraction for all fans of the Count, so don't miss it.
Finally, you'll head to the city of Brasov, fringed by the peaks of the Southern Carpathian Mountains and peaking with Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture, this is one of the most-visited cities in Romania. The city exudes a unique medieval ambiance and has been overused as a backdrop for many period films. Walk through the old town center, the Black Church, the Council Square, the Hirscher House, and baroque-styled buildings from the Austro-Hungarian times. By late afternoon, you'll be driving back to Bucharest, having learned a fair deal about Romania's history!
