Overview

Your first stop takes you to the Zărnești Bear Sanctuary, a peaceful haven for rescued brown bears. This sanctuary allows you to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat while learning about their rescue and rehabilitation.

Next, travel to the iconic Bran Dracula Castle, a stunning medieval fortress perched on a hilltop. Often linked to the Dracula legend, the castle’s mysterious architecture and rich history make it a must-see.

Explore its dark corridors, grand rooms, and enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, all while uncovering the myths and truths surrounding the infamous Vlad the Impaler.
