Transylvania needs no introduction. Medieval castles, Dacian fortresses, Saxon villages, mountain landscapes and authentic cuisine — all just a few kilometres apart. For groups, a coach excursion remains the most comfortable and economical way to discover this fascinating region.
One driver, one vehicle, zero worries about parking or navigation. You enjoy the scenery, and so does everyone else.
No list of Transylvania excursions could start any other way. Bran Castle, known worldwide as "Dracula's Castle", and Peles Castle in Sinaia together form Romania's most popular tourist circuit.
You can visit both castles in a single day, with a stop in Busteni or Azuga for lunch. The drive from Brasov is short — Bran is just 30 km away, and Sinaia about 50 km.
Ideal for: tourist groups, summer excursions, photography circuits. grupuri de turiști, familii, excursii școlare.
Sighisoara is the only continuously inhabited medieval town in Europe. The turreted citadel, colourful houses and 14th-century atmosphere literally transport you to another time. The Clock Tower, Vlad Dracul House and the Church on the Hill are must-see sights.
About 110 km from Brasov, Sighisoara is the perfect destination for a one-day coach or minibus excursion. Large groups benefit from excellent local guides and numerous traditional restaurants within the citadel.

The Saxon fortified peasant churches are perhaps Transylvania's best-kept secret. Viscri, a UNESCO World Heritage site, Biertan with its impressive fortress, and Prejmer — the largest fortified peasant church in Romania — form a circuit worth every kilometre.
Prince Charles of Great Britain owns a house in Viscri, which says everything about this place's charm. The roads are narrow, so a minibus or a medium-sized car is more suitable than a large coach.
