Itinerary

Greet your guide at the designated meeting point outside of the Modarom building, conveniently close to McDonald's at the end of Republicii Street. From here, you’ll travel to the small town of Rasnov to visit the magnificent 13th-century Rasnov Fortress on its hilltop perch.

During a 1-hour guided tour of the medieval fortress, delve into its history and legends while exploring the chapel, courtyards, and museum, home to feudal art, weapons, and local crafts.

Your next stop is Bran Castle (Dracula’s Castle) after a 30-minute drive. Famed for its associations with Bram stoker’s Gothic classic, the castle boasts a dramatic hilltop perch that offers panoramic vistas. Tour the 14th-century structure with your guide, winding down steep staircases and opulent chambers while listening to age-old legends.

After thorough exploration, return to the vehicle and enjoy views of the Carpathian Mountains before drop-off at your original departure point.

We had a fantastic visit to Bran Castle and Râșnov Fortress! The scenery was absolutely stunning, making the trip even more memorable. Our host was excellent—friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable, which added so much depth and context to the experience.

We had an absolutely amazing morning visiting Bran Castle and Rasnov. The guys from Flipflop tours were brilliant and couldn't have done more to not only ensure we enjoyed the tour but also ensure we had the best time possible in Romania with some additional top tips. I would fully recommend them.

If we combine extensive knowledge of the place, art and history, with proven experience and exquisite treatment, we will find a great guide like Florin. Professionalism and such a deal is hard to find. Florin is what we all look for when hiring a guided tour. Yesterday we had the opportunity to be accompanied by him and our satisfaction has been absolute. We recommend it without fear of mistake.
