Prahova Valley (Valea Prahovei) is the valley where the Prahova river makes its way between the Bucegi and the Baiu Mountains, in the Carpathians. Historically, it was the most important passage way between the principalities of Wallachia and Transylvania.
Highlights: Bran Castle, Rasnov Citadel
Bran Castle
Bram Stoker’s character, Dracula, is a Transylvanian Count with a castle located high above a valley perched on a rock with a flowing river below in the Principality of Transylvania.
This character is often confused with Vlad Tepes (Vlad the Impaler), sometimes known as Vlad Dracul, who was a Walachian Prince with a castle, now in ruins, located in the Principality of Wallachia. Because Bran Castle is the only castle in all of Transylvania that actually fits Bram Stoker’s description of Dracula’s Castle, it is known throughout the world as Dracula’s Castle.
Lunch in Bran area at a traditional restaurant.
Rasnov Citadel
Rasnov Citadel is the most well-known touristic attraction from Rasnov city. It is also known as “The peasant Rasnov Citadel”, and it is a national monument belonging to the A class.
The field around the citadel, now covered with trees, used to be only an empty cliff covered only with wild rose bushes. Because of this, the place was called The Valley of Roses. The settlement was first mentioned in an official document in 1388, under the name of Villa Rosarum, or Rosendorf, in translation The Village of Roses.
In the evening, arrival at Tarlungeni, accommodation in Grand Hotel Perla Ciucasului. Festive dinner.
After lunch, departure for Brasov.
Brasov
Resplendent with Gothic, baroque and renaissance architecture, Brasov is one of the most visited places in Romania.
Brasov reveals a distinct medieval ambiance. The Saxons built massive stone walls and seven bastions around the city that are still visible today, as well as ornate churches, elaborately trimmed buildings and one of the finest central squares in the country, said to be the spot to which the legendary Pied Piper led the children of Hamlin. In the middle of the Council Square stands the Old Town Hall (1420), now home of Brasov’s History Museum. The South-Eastern corner of the square is dominated by the town’s most famous landmark, the Black Church.
