Activity itinerary

Libearty Bear Sanctuary Zarnesti

Travellers will enjoy a guided visit to the Sanctuarul de Urși Libearty, the largest brown bear sanctuary in Europe. During a walk through the forest, visitors will observe rescued brown bears living in a natural, protected environment and learn about their stories, rescue missions, and rehabilitation. The guide will explain how the sanctuary operates, the challenges faced by captive bears in the past, and the ongoing efforts to protect wildlife in Romania.

Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle)

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
Travellers will visit the famous Castelul Bran, often referred to as Dracula’s Castle, one of Romania’s most iconic landmarks. During the visit, guests will explore the medieval rooms, narrow staircases, and inner courtyards, while learning about the legends of Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration behind the Dracula myth, as well as the real historical role of the castle. The guide will share stories that separate legend from history, including the connection to Queen Marie of Romania. Travellers will also enjoy free time to explore the castle at their own pace, take photos of the surrounding Carpathian Mountains, and browse the local souvenir market near the castle.

Black Church (Biserica Neagra)

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
The Black Church, the largest Gothic church in Romania and one of the most important medieval landmarks in Transylvania. It was built by the Saxon community in the 14th century. The name “Black Church” comes from the great fire of 1689, which darkened its walls. Inside you can see one of the largest organs in Europe and an impressive collection of Oriental carpets brought by Brașov merchants. If you wish, you can also explore the centre of Brașov, where you can taste traditional Romanian products or enjoy lunch with traditional Romanian dishes in the city’s main square, Council Square.
