• Peles Castle - Constructed from 1873 to 1914 by King Carol I, this castle was the opulent summer home of the Romanian Royal Family. It is a stunning example of German Neo-Renaissance and Gothic Revival architecture. Inside, there are over 160 rooms adorned with elaborate woodcarvings and Murano glass. Remarkably advanced for its era, it was the first castle in Europe to be fully illuminated by electricity, generated by its own power plant, and it also featured central heating, an elevator, and hot and cold running water.
• Bran Castle (Dracula’s Castle) - Erected in 1377 by the Saxons of Brașov, this castle was initially a strategic fortress and customs post protecting the mountain border between Transylvania and Wallachia. It later became a royal residence for Queen Marie in the early 20th century. Unlike the grandiose Peleș, Bran Castle is characterized by narrow, winding corridors, hidden staircases, and simple, rustic medieval rooms. It is globally recognized as “Dracula’s Castle” due to its likeness to the fortress in Bram Stoker’s novel. However, the historical figure Vlad the Impaler never resided here, although he may have traveled through the area.
