🇷🇴 Romania has officially made it onto my bucket list... and I think it might end up on yours too! 🏰🧛🏻♂️
I've had quite a few enquiries recently about visiting Bran Castle (often called Dracula's Castle), so I thought I'd share this incredible escorted tour. Rather than just visiting the castle, this is your opportunity to experience so much more of Romania's history, culture and breathtaking scenery.
Imagine wandering through fairytale castles, exploring colourful medieval towns, driving through spectacular mountain landscapes, meeting rescued brown bears, tasting local honey and stepping back in time. Romania really is one of Europe's hidden gems.
