Tariffs
Day 1.
Bucharest - Snagov - Sinaia - Brasov
In the morning, 8 o'clock, you'll meet your guide in the hotel's
lobby.
On the way toward Brasov you'll make a short detour to visit Snagov church.
Located on an island of the Snagov Lake (about 40km North from Bucharest), the church was built during the time of the Mircea the Elder ruler or even earlier. Surrounded by defensive walls and having a watching tower, used also as a belfry, the church looked as a real fortress. It seams that here Vlad the Impaler was buried. Even today you can admire his grave.
You'll continue your road straight toward Sinaia, also known as the “Carpathian Pearl”, where you'll visit Peles Castle, the most beautiful castle in Romania, residence of the former royal family. Sinaia Monastery was the first building of this town, and is not far away from the castle.
Driving on the beautiful Prahova Valley, you will have an astonishing view over Bucegi Mountain, especially over the craggy Caraiman Massive with its Heroes' Cross built in the memory of the soldiers who died in the First World War.
Further on, you'll drive toward Brasov, a city founded by the Saxons, who colonized Transylvania in the 12-13th centuries. Here you'll visit the old center, where you'll admire the beautiful buildings such as the astonishing Black Church which was built in Gothic and Renaissance style. You'll see the narrowest street in Romania, Rope Street, Schei and Catherine's Gates, St. Nicholas Church, and the old Schei neighborhood.
Accommodation in Brasov.
