Your adventure begins as soon as you board the bus in Bucharest. Driving through the magnificent Transylvanian countryside, you'll marvel at the deep green forests and majestic Carpathian Mountains. It's no surprise that this region, with its splendor and natural atmosphere, inspired Bram Stoker and countless other writers and artists.
On your journey to Bran Castle, your local Gray Line Romania guide will paint a vivid picture of Romania's colorful, sometimes tumultuous, history. Our guides are natural storytellers who will weave real historical facts with the region's fascinating pagan rituals and folklore. Learn about Vlad the Impaler—the often-misunderstood leader who inspired Stoker's fictional Count Dracula. Judge for yourself the line between fact and fiction, between man and myth...
You'll learn about Romania's pagan myths and folklore surrounding the "strigoi," vampiric creatures that rise from the grave, transform into animals, and drink the blood of their victims. You'll also learn about Romania's history, dating back to the Crusades 700 years ago. Discover the truth and legends surrounding this legendary castle nestled in the epic Carpathian Mountains.
After your Bran Castle tour, you'll take a short drive to Brasov, where you'll have two hours to enjoy lunch and explore this authentic Romanian city. Your guide will lead you through the city, introducing you to the city's 800 years of written history and culture. You'll visit Brasov's beautiful Council Square, the Black Church, Rope Street, and the city's ancient defensive walls. Visit Brasov's main gates and their impressive watchtowers. Afterwards, you can enjoy free time and explore the city at your leisure.
