Cultural Diversity in Bucharest

Immerse in the Romanian Experience

Dracula Castle

My country has amazing views in the Carpathians, with lots of spooky stories with vampires🧛🏻‍♂️, and recently with The Addams Family (Wednesday TV series was filmed in one of the castles in the Carpathians). Bucharest is also a cool, culturally diverse city, vibrant in energy.🌆 We can have a drink or two or more😂 in the evenings. For this trip I have chosen both Bucharest and the Carpathians. And for our trip on Saturday I have chosen Bran Castle🏰 (known as Dracula's castle), and the old town of Brașov (it's a really beautiful city that is worth visiting). We will go by ourselves, without any organized tourist trip. We will go by train and by bus, to make it more fun, and to have more freedom. Included in the price: ✔️ Accommodation (private rooms) ✔️ Day trip: Transport from Bucharest to Brașov and Bran castle, and back to Bucharest ✔️ Entrance fees to visit Bran What is not included: ✖️ Food & drinks ✖️ Flight tickets and transport to the hotel* ✖️ Other activities *From the airport there is a bus that you can take to the city center (aprox. 30 minutes, about 2 euro) or you can take a cab that is faster (aprox. 15 euro) I am open to suggestions/other ideas, of course if the rest of the group agrees too.😊 I am super excited to get to know you and to show you my homeland, with some of my favorite spots!🤩

About Me: Hi! This is Elena, Romanian photographer📸 and traveler. I have been living in Bucharest for 5 years, however I like to spend my summers at the seaside, either in Romania, or in Greece, doing photography. Now that the weather is not so appealing for swimming, it's perfect time for a short trip in the mountains.🏔️

Throughout our thrilling adventure, you will relish the comfort of hotel double rooms strategically positioned near the bustling center of Bucharest. Carefully selected for both convenience and local charm, these accommodations serve as a cozy retreat after a day of exploration, ensuring a relaxing atmosphere for recharging before the next day's adventures. This central location enhances the overall experience, offering a seamless blend of exploration and relaxation, as I am aim to create lasting memories of our journey through Romania. Any questions about the trip? You can let me know in the Q&A section!

Bucharest

Day 1-2

We will all gather at the accommodation that is near the city center, in the afternoon (of course if your flight is later, we can make it in the evening too). After you leave your stuff, we can already go for a city short tour. We will wander around in the old town, maybe grab a drink🍸, have something to eat🥘 -- I'll introduce you to our traditional cuisine😋, get to know each other and discuss the plan for Saturday.

Bran Castle

Day 2

We will start early in the morning, at around 7 or 8. Our schedule is not set in stone, but it would be nice to be there early, so we can have more time for our trip. We will go by train, and our arrival time in Brașov will be at around 12. From there we will take bus to get us to Bran Castle🏰, which is 50 minutes away. We will spend about 2 hours at the Castle, and then we will come back to Brașov, where we will go for something to eat in the old town (which is stunningly beautiful).

Brașov

Day 2

After eating and wandering around the old town, we will head back to the train station, and leave Brașov at around 7-8. We will be back in Bucharest in the evening at 10-11, so that gives us some time for more drinks in Bucharest, since it's Saturday🥳 (of course if you feel like).

Bucharest

Day 2-3

For the evening (if we feel like and we are not too tired) we can go for a drink... or more😂 in Control Club - one of my favorite places so far. It might be a bit crowded since it's Saturday, but the atmosphere is super friendly.😊 On Sunday, we can go to Cișmigiu Park, or wander, again through the old town, this time during day time, so we can better see the places.🌞 Of course if you have to leave in the morning, we can say goodbye already. I am free all day on Sunday, so for those who plan to leave in the evening, we can spend the day together.
