Transylvania and Dracula Castle Full Day Tour from Bucharest
TICKET PRICES STARTING FROM
Taxes and fees will be calculated at checkout
Overview
Discover two of Transylvania's most stunning castles on this day-long adventure: Bran Castle, a 13th-century hilltop fortress known as "Dracula's Castle," and Peles Castle, a masterpiece of Neo-Renaissance architecture. On this day trip, you'll be ferried by climate-controlled bus to both landmarks, and will also have the chance to wander the medieval city of Brasov. Please note: Peleș Castle will be closed for general cleaning and preventive conservation from November 3 to December 2, 2025. If time allows and you’d like to, you can visit Pelișor Castle instead — it’s right nearby! Otherwise, you’ll still have some free time around Peleș Castle to stroll through the beautiful area and snap some postcard-perfect photos.
