The Royal Summer House the Communists Took, and Two Screen Castles
A fully guided day themed on the two stories that brought most people here: Dracula and Wednesday. The group is capped at eight.
It starts at Bran Castle, where the guide works through the legends that turned a border fortress into one of the most visited places in Romania.
Then Cantacuzino, at Bușteni, where the television series Wednesday was filmed. The interior is darker than the facade suggests, and the gardens look out at the Bucegi mountains.
In Sinaia there are two stops. The monastery is the older one, Orthodox, founded in the late 17th century and bound up with how the town grew.
Peleș is the other, and the one with the real history: the summer residence of the Romanian royal family until the communist regime took it from them.
