Tour 2: BRASOV - BRAN - SINAIA (~ 400 km round trip): 1 day tour

  • Visits in Brasov: - The Black Church is the largest Protestant church in south-eastern Europe. It is also Romania’s most celebrated Gothic building. Its name derives from the soot deposits left on its walls after the town was swept by fire in 1689. Built between 1385 and 1477, and first dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the church passed to the Lutheran faith in the 1540s. The white walls of the naves contrast starkly with the outside. The only color comes from the dozens of 15th- to 18th-century oriental carpets that hang there, testimony to Brasov’s early importance as a commercial center on the trade routes to the Ottoman Empire.
  • The Orthodox church of Saint Nicholas is located in the southern Schei district of Brasov, where the Romanian population lived under Saxon domination. Built on the site of a 14th-century wooden church, the present stone church was erected in the 1400s. It was enlarged during the 16th century with money from the princes of Moldavia and Wallachia. The clock tower, dating from 1751, was built with a donation from the Empress Elisabeth of Russia. The church grounds house a small workshop where, in the 16th century, some of the earliest books of worship in Romanian were printed.
    - the 15th-century town hall (now the history museum)
    - the Merchant's Hall with its restaurant and gift shops

Visits in Bran:

  • Bran Castle (related to Dracula) - built, abandoned, and rebuilt in the 12th, 13th, and 14th centuries, the majestic tiered pile of towers and fortifications is set on a wooded hill overlooking the town. The interior, with its winding staircases, courtyards, and hidden passages, is filled with Gothic-style medieval furnishings

Visits in Sinaia:

  • Peles Castle was the summer residence of the Romanian royal family until their final abdication in 1947. Built in the 1870s for Carol I, Romania’s first king, the castle was decorated on the instructions of his eccentric wife, Elisabeth of Wied. Its appearance is that of a German schloß complemented by elements of the Italian renaissance, German baroque, and French rococo styles, and it is flanked by Italian renaissance-style terraces.
