Bucharest: Dracula's Castle, Peles Castle, & Brasov Old Town - Peleș Castle: why this “royal fairytale” works in real life

1.Dracula’s Castle, Peles Castle, & Brasov Old Town

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 17,858 reviews · 12 hours · from $40Our pick

A long but smooth day trip from Bucharest to Peleș, Bran, and Brasov, mixing royal architecture, Dracula lore, and medieval streets for value.

“Adrian was a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide, he took good care of us and gave us lots of information regarding the day. Peles castle was closed (it’s closed Mon & Tues) but was beautiful from the outside. Brasov was lovely, we had lunch at La Ceaun which was delicious. Finally, we went to Bran Castle, where we paid to enter the castle. Although reviews were mixed, we were glad we went in. Adrian was not pushy with selling tickets, he gave passengers a QR code where we could buy tickets from the official online retailer, although we opted to pay cash when we arrived at the castle (around £18…”

“Fantastic day trip. Our tour guide Vlad was very informative and friendly. I liked the way he Whats Apped us throughout the day with instructions too. We went on a Tuesday, Peles Castle is closed on this day, so we had an hour to see it from the outside. Maybe on days it is closed, half hour would be fine, giving extra time in Brascov .”

“I booked this trip last minute, and everything went smoothly from start to finish! I received a confirmation message in the evening, and another one in the morning with all the details and our guide's contact information. Our guide, Rodica, was absolutely exceptional. She spoke perfect English, and her explanations were clear and easy to follow, even for non-native speakers. Her sense of humor and quick wit added so much fun to the experience! You could tell she is truly passionate about her job, she kept sharing interesting facts and stories, even on the way back, pointing out different monuments we passed. It was such a treat to have someone…”

Bucharest: Palace of Parliament Tickets and Guided Tour

Bucharest: Palace of Parliament Tickets and Guided Tour - Price and timing: is $28 worth it for an hour?

7.Palace of Parliament Tickets and Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 1,877 reviews · 1 hour · from $28

Tour Romania’s massive Palace of Parliament, with security-backed entry and a guided walk through ornate state rooms and halls.

“Booking this way allowed us to visit the Palace of Parliament without booking in advance via a phone number where everyone is often unreachable. However, the instructions were terrible, leaving us standing at a place where a guide never showed up. There is no one from this company who comes to meet you. They just expect you to figure out that you'll be added to a list that the check-in desk has, and that a guide from the venue itself will take you. That guide is unaffiliated with the company doing this booking.”

Only complaint was I felt rushed at each stop, constantly looking at the time to make sure we made it back to the bus. I would’ve liked more time in Braslov and at Bram’s castle.”

“We did a walking tour in Bucharest and it was fantastic. Ed, our tour guide, was incredibly engaging — knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate — which made the whole experience feel alive from start to finish. What stood out most was how rich the tour was in helping us truly discover the city’s history and architecture. Complex stories were explained in a clear and captivating way, and every stop added real depth to our understanding of Bucharest. The pace was perfect, with time for photos and questions, and we left feeling like we had experienced the city rather than just seen it. Highly recommended for anyone who wants an immersive and…”
