Bison Giants & The Dracula Legend
3 Stops
1
Neagra Bison Reservation
Begin your journey 1.5 hours north of Bucharest at the Zimbrăria Neagră. Spanning 160 hectares, it is the largest reserve in Romania. The best time to visit is 10:30 AM, when the majestic European bison—the continent's heaviest land animal—emerge from the forest for feeding.
1 hour and 30 minutes
2
Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle)
Bran Castle is one of the most famous landmarks in Transylvania, and is known as the home of Count Dracula. The 13th-century hillside castle and fortress, however, actually houses a collection of furniture and artworks that once belonged to Marie, the beloved queen of Romania. Tour the eerie castle and decide for yourself what's fact or fiction.

Brasov
Brașov is a stunning medieval city often described by American travelers as having a "storybook" or European alpine feel. Nestled at the foot of Tâmpa Mountain in the Southern Carpathians, it serves as the perfect base for your 3-day exploration of Transylvania.
The historic center is pedestrian-friendly, filled with colorful Baroque and Renaissance buildings, lively outdoor cafés, and cobblestone alleys.
Founded by Transylvanian Saxons in the 12th century, the city retains its medieval fortification walls, towers, and bastions.
High above the city on Mount Tâmpa, a large "Brașov" sign overlooks the town, similar to the one in Los Angeles.
Because it is surrounded by dense forests, it is one of the best places in the world to depart for Wild Bear Watching.
You'll explore the city with the guide, but also on your own, since you'll accommodate in Brasov for 2 nights.
