This is a day spent visiting Saxon villages and learning the story of the Transylvanian Saxons: where they came from, why they stayed in Transylvania and how is their legacy preserved nowadays.

The best drive in the world – that is what the Top Gear crew say about the Transfagarasan Road. In summer time we have a scenic, windy trip to the top at Balea Lake. In winter time we have the cable car to take us at the peak of the mountains. In the evening we return to Cincsor village. Dinner on your own.
Today we drive straight to the Carpathians, to the mountain village of Magura. Set in the Piatra Craiului National Park, Magura will transport you directly to the idyllic set from The Sound of Music. We go on an easy hike to the monastery of Bran and savor the lush green of the Carpathians. Accommodation in Bran. Dinner included.
Would it be a Transylvanian vacation without Dracula? We spend the morning visiting Dracula’s Castle in Bran with all its dark rooms and secret staircases. After lunch we make our way towards Bucharest with a last stop in Busteni at the Cantacuzino Castle. Here we enjoy deserts and coffee with an amazing view over the Carpathians. In the evening we arrive in Bucharest with drop off at your hotel.
