Skip the Line at Both Castles from Bucharest, and All Sales Are Final

One day out of Bucharest covering Romania's two most visited castles, with entry ahead of the queue at both. Peleș, at Sinaia, was the summer residence of the Romanian royal family and is a late 19th-century building throughout: the interest there is in the density of the interiors rather than in any single room. Bran is the one people come for. The Dracula association is literary and was attached to the castle later; the guided commentary covers where the legend came from and what the building actually was before it. Between the two there is a guided walk through the old town of Brașov, and the road between Bucharest and the Carpathians is a good part of the day in its own right. One thing to settle before booking: this ticket cannot be cancelled. Once the reservation is made it is final, whatever the reason, so fix the date first.
