Start your tour with a drive through a chain of villages from southern Romania, one of the most picturesque places of this region. The Prahova Valley is a narrow corridor between Transylvania and Wallachia, an ancient road that is crossed by both rail and motorways, making it one of the most visited routes in Romania.

Continue to Bran Village, going through a scenic mountain landscape and arrive at the legendary Bran (Dracula`s) Castle.The first historical reference of the Bran Castle is a document issued on November 19th, 1377 by Ludwig I d’Anjou, by which Brasov’s inhabitants received the privilege of building a fortress “at their own work and expense”. The Bran Castle was restored under the supervision of Karel Liman Between 1920-1921. He was the architect of the Royal Court, who turned it in a beautiful summer residence surrounded by a park with promenade alleys, a lake, fountains, arbors, and a tea house.
Continue to explore Brasov, surrounded by the Southern peaks of the Carpathian mountains and the biggest city in the mountain resorts area before returning to Bucharest.
