Itinerary
1
Libearty Bear Sanctuary Zarnesti
The first attraction will be the Libearty Bear Sanctuary, a territory spanning across 69 hectares of coniferous forests where you will safely observe more than 100 rescued brown bears in their natural habitat. Since all bears have been rescued from poor conditions and here they can live freely in their natural environment, the sanctuary has been recognized as the most ethical one in the world.
1 hour and 30 minutes
2
Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle)
The tour continues with a scenic one-hour drive through the Carpathian Mountains to Bran Castle, widely known as Dracula's Castle. This 14th-century fortress, perched dramatically on a cliff, is one of Romania's most iconic landmarks and is famously linked to Bram Stoker's Dracula. You will explore the castle's medieval rooms, narrow staircases and royal chambers, and enjoy the stunning views over the surrounding valley.
1 hour and 45 minutes

Brasov
The final stop is the medieval city of Brasov, a beautifully preserved Saxon town in the heart of the Carpathians. Enjoy free time to wander the cobbled streets of the old town, admire the Council Square (Piata Sfatului) and the imposing Black Church, grab a coffee in one of the local cafes, and soak up the atmosphere before the relaxed drive back to Bucharest.
