Optional: A visit to the Peles Castle can be included, depending on availability. You can request this via the internal messaging system of this platform before or after booking.

Start your day with a visit to the biggest brown bear sanctuary in the world. Over 120 bears are living in a semi-wild environment. Each of them has a different story. Find out how brown bears live, why they’re so popular in Romania, and what you should do in case of an unexpected encounter in the wild. Wolves, deers, and other animals might be spotted in the sanctuary.

Next up, we switch from bears to bats as you are led through Bran Castle. Tackle Dracula’s legend and differentiate myth from reality in Transylvania. Check out the most important torture tools used in Europe during the medieval times and travel trough time withe the help of Queen Mary’s elevator!

Continue to Rasnov Citadel and explore the outside courtyard and surroundings. Although parts of the citadel are under refurbishment, we can still tour parts of it and discuss about how people survived in the middle ages!

Finally, get a taste of traditional Romanian spirits with insider access to a local distillery. Taste the famous ‘Palinca’, a 100% natural spirit traditionally made out of plums. Be prepared, as there are various flavors to choose from.
