Romania - 3 Castles Day Tour from Bucharest (Peles, Bran, & Cantacuzino Castle)
Hi everyone! 🌺
We’re planning a trip to Romania and looking at the 3 Castles 1 Day Tour from Bucharest (Peles, Bran, and Cantacuzino/Wednesday castle).
The price seems fair compared to the train, but since we are on a budget, we have a few questions before we pull the trigger:
Is it worth it? For those who've done it, is there actually enough time to explore, or is it just a "get out, take a photo, get back on the bus" situation?
Peles Castle: We read online that you can walk around the gardens and exterior for free without buying a ticket for the interior. Is that true?
Bran Castle: How close is the actual village to the castle? We’d love to see the local area, but we want to know if the tour usually drops you close enough to walk around the village markets.
Cantacuzino (Wednesday Castle): The full ticket is about €17, which is a bit steep for us. Is there a "garden only" ticket option? We mostly want to see the filming locations and the view.
Would love to hear from anyone who has done this specific route or (even better) has traveled to these spots.
Thank you in advance 🙏
