Welcome to Romania and Henri Coandă Airport in Bucharest, where your private English-speaking guide greets you on arrival and accompanies you to your centrally located hotel.
After settling in, relax or begin your Romania travel experience with a gentle stroll through the lively Old Town. Wander along cobbled streets, historic squares, and elegant cafés, then ask your guide for favorite local spots to sample Romanian wines and traditional snacks.
Start your day with a panoramic city tour of Bucharest, passing grand boulevards, landmark squares, and some of the capital’s most striking architecture. Continue to the open-air Village Museum for an authentic look at Romania’s traditional rural life, from wooden churches to historic farmhouses.
For lunch, visit one of Europe’s largest beer halls and enjoy hearty Romanian specialties paired with local brews in a lively historic setting. In the afternoon, explore the atmospheric Old Town on foot, uncovering hidden courtyards, historic churches, and Bucharest’s vibrant café culture.
Enjoy the rest of the day and evening at leisure, with time to follow your own discoveries through the capital.
Leave Bucharest and begin the Transylvania leg of your Romania trip with a scenic journey toward the mountains. Stop in Azuga for a guided sparkling wine tasting, followed by a relaxed lunch featuring local delicacies.
Continue to Bran Castle, often linked with the legend of Dracula. Your guide brings its mysterious reputation to life while also revealing the real stories hidden within its walls.
Arrive in Brașov in the evening and enjoy free time to explore its medieval streets, lively squares, and inviting restaurants at your own pace.
Tips from Corina
Romania Travel Expert
At Bran Castle, do not focus only on the Dracula legend. Ask your guide about Queen Marie of Romania, who turned the castle into a beloved royal residence in the 1920s. Her rooms, taste, and personal connection to Bran reveal a more layered story than the myth, and make the visit feel far more rooted in Romanian history.
Leave Brașov for a scenic drive to the impressive Unirea Salt Mine, one of the largest in Eastern Europe. Venture deep underground to explore vast caverns shaped by nature, history, and human skill.
Continue to Lacerta Winery in the renowned Dealu Mare wine region for a guided tasting paired with a cheese platter. Later, return to Bucharest for a warm farewell dinner in a historic inn, where authentic Romanian dishes bring your journey to a memorable close.
After a relaxed final breakfast, enjoy one last stroll through Bucharest or pause for coffee at a favorite café. Take a moment to savor the flavors, stories, and discoveries that have shaped your journey.
Then head to Bucharest’s airport for your flight home, carrying with you authentic tastes, local memories, and inspiration for your next tailor-made Romania trip.
