day out in Transylvania - Dracula’s castle, Brasov and Peleş castle

Booked a tour with Trip.com to visit the Carpathian Mountains and forests. We started the tour with Bran Castle, known more famously as Dracula’s Castle because its author was inspired by the legends of Transylvania. It is now preserved as a medical fortress. After that, we stopped for lunch in the charming trade town of Brasov before heading to the first Romanian King Carol’s summer palace, Peleş Castle. It had beautiful views and distinctive architecture. The tour gives you the option to decide which of the castles you wish to go into (or both) and there are many beautiful buildings to look at even if you do not go into the castle at each stop. I would recommend Peleş castle as the interior is decorated with ornate craftwork from many European regions. A must if you are visiting Romania! #familytravel #palace #myitinerary #thingstodo
