Planned Itinerary:

DAY 1

Bucharest

Hello Bucharest! And hello good times, as we kick off our trip with a walking tour of the old town. Stroll through more than 500 years of history with a passionate local guide. Learn about Vlad the Impaler and see how art nouveau architecture, grand municipal buildings and beautiful Orthodox churches mingle with stark structures from decades of communist rule. You can’t miss the Palace of the Parliament which has the dubious boast of being the world’s heaviest building! This evening we’ll enjoy an included dinner together at the oldest restaurant in Romania, which, for 130 years, has welcomed famous guests, from The Rolling Stones to the Prince of Japan. Its name ‘Caru’ cu bere’ translates as ‘the beer wagon’ – so let’s get on board!

DAY 2

Bucharest

After breakfast we’ll head for Peles Castle, the former summer residence of the kings of Romania but now one of the most important museums in Transylvania. Once we’ve feasted our eyes on all the ancient riches we’re bound for the Bucegi Mountains. In the mountain resort of Siniai we’ll take the cable car from 1400ft to Cota 2000 and enjoy a guided hike, with majestic mountain views and photo opps with the famous Bucegi ‘Sphinx’.

Brasov

The fun stuff just keeps coming. This afternoon we’ll drive to Brasov for another fascinating walking tour including the chance to squeeze down Strada Sforii, the narrowest street in Europe. The evening is your own to check out Brasov’s lively cafes, restaurants and varied nightlife. Don’t forget to try Sarmale, the Romanian national dish (stuffed cabbage rolls, with a side of polenta) then raise a toast with Tuica, a traditional spirit made from plums.

DAY 3

Brasov

Bran Castle

We’re beside ourselves with excitement to finally get to go inside Bran Castle, aka Dracula’s Castle, the fantastical fortress high on a rock that inspired Bram Stoker’s dark tale. Outside we’ll grab some bikes and pedal off on a local trail with a guide who’ll regale us with myths and facts about the castle, vampires and other local folklore. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife too – bears, wolves, lynx and (Dracula’s favourite) bats – are all native to the area – but don’t worry, no werewolves!

Bucharest

We’ll surely never tire of Transylvania but, when our legs are aching and our heads spinning with stories, we’ll drive back to Bucharest to talk over the tall tales over a three course dinner in a traditional old town restaurant.

DAY 4

Bucharest

We’ll meet for a final breakfast before we go our separate ways laden with facts, folklore and friendships to last forever – or at least until our next Contiki adventure.

(Partially) travel with a nice group or entirely travel solo?

By booking an organized Romania tour for young adults or other Europe trips for young people you can not only reduce planning hassle, but often also save money, as tour operators can buy accommodations, transportation, etc. in larger contingents in advance and thus get special conditions. You will also benefit from the experience of the tour operator, professional tour guides (whose stories you can enjoy…) and have the easy opportunity to meet nice fellow travelers when traveling in a group. Anyone who has traveled before will know that travel companions or other traveling acquaintances are one of the most essential factors for unforgettable experiences. In addition, you usually have enough individual freedom even with organized tours and you can, if the arrival and departure is not included, additionally extend your stay individually before or after the group tour with young adults. If you still prefer to organize your trip completely on your own and travel independently, then you’ll find all the practical tools you need to plan and book quickly & cheaply on our individual travel page.
