Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1 : Unirea Salt Mine-Peles Castle-Brasov City
Location: Peles Castle
Accommodation: Hotel
We will leave in the morning, and we will head towards Unirea Salt Mine. Known as the biggest salt mine in Europe, Slanic Prahova stands today for one of the most important watering and climatic resorts in Romania.Unique in the country, but also in Europe, the salt mine is formed out of 14 rooms, trapezium shaped.The ventilation is naturally made, and the 12 degree C temperature is constant throughout the whole year. The humidity of the air is circa 50% and the air composition in the mine is richer in sodium ions that have spectacular ameliorative and prophylactic effects, what the breathing deficiencies and diseases are concerned. Also, in the salt mine there have been arranged playing grounds, a sports ground, a room with tables for billiards and a bar room. Next, head to Sinaia City where you will visit the first castle: Peles Castle. Peles Castle is a masterpiece of German new-Renaissance architecture, considered by many one of the most stunning castles in Europe.Brasov is home to one of the narrowest streets in Europe-The Rope Street (Strada Sforii). Take a peek inside the Black Church (Biserica Neagra), the largest Gothic church in Romania. Though its name, Biserica Neagră (the Black Church) may seem dark and foreboding, the building is nothing to fear. You will be overnight in Brasov.
Day 2 : Brasov-Sighisoara -Dracula Castle -Brasov
Location: Sighișoara
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
After breakfast, we will go to Sighisoara Medieval City . Sighisoara still stands as one of the most beautiful and best-preserved medieval towns in Europe. Designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, this perfectly intact 16th century gem with nine towers, cobbled streets, burgher houses and ornate churches rivals the historic streets of Old Prague or Vienna for atmospheric magic.The Clock Tower, the house where Vlad Dracula (Vlad the Impaler) was born, the Church of the Hill with its 500-year-old frescoes and the Church of the Dominican Monastery, known for its Transylvanian renaissance carved altarpiece, baroque pulpit and Oriental carpets ,are just few things really worth to visit in Sighisoara. Surrounded by an aura of mystery and legend and perched high atop a 200-foot-high rock, Bran Castle owes its fame to its imposing towers and turrets as well as to the myth created around Bram Stocker's Dracula.
In the evening we'll be back in Brasov, where you will stay overnight.
Day 3 : Brasov-Libearty Bear Sanctuary-Bucharest
Location: Brașov
Meals Included: Breakfast
In the last day visit Libearty Bear Sanctuary.More than 69 hectares of luxuriant forest with rivers and ponds are now the home of almost 90 brown bears. From 2008 this wild place is occasionally visited but under some strict rules meant to reintegrate the bears in their natural habitat and not to disturb them. Most of the bears in the Sanctuary were rescued from the most miserable and small cages where they were used as a form of entertainment for tourist attractions.
Our journey ends to Bucharest.
