Arrive in Bucharest

Bucharest Henri Coanda Airport to your hotel in central Bucharest

  • Welcome dinner
  • Nuit : Bucharest
  • Environ 45 min de route

Fly into Bucharest Henri Coanda International Airport (OTP) at Otopeni, about 17 km north of the city centre. A driver meets you in the arrivals hall whatever your flight time and takes you to our central hotel, 30 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. If you land early, walk down Calea Victoriei, the city's oldest grand avenue, past the domed Romanian Athenaeum concert hall and the former royal palace that now holds the National Museum of Art.

Soir

In the evening your See Sight Tours guide meets the group for a short briefing on the days ahead: where we stop, how long we drive, what to pack for the mountains and how the free afternoons work. Then we walk to a welcome dinner of Romanian food: sarmale cabbage rolls, grilled mici sausages, polenta with sour cream and cheese, and papanasi doughnuts if you have room. Plan to land by about 5 pm to make the briefing; later arrivals are still met and join us at dinner or at breakfast.

Imprimer l'itinéraire

Faune et météo : May, June and September are mild and green; July and August are warm in the towns and busy at Bran and Peles, so we go early. The Transfagarasan high road opens around July and closes with the first heavy snow, often by late October. Brown bears live in the Carpathian forests and are sometimes seen by the mountain roads; we watch from the vehicle and never feed them.

Questions

What does the price include?

Eight nights in central hotels, 8 breakfasts, 8 sit-down lunches, 2 dinners, airport transfers, our own vehicle and driver, your See Sight Tours guide, local guides in each town, and every entry in the day plan, including Peles, Bran, the Palace of Parliament, the Black Church and the Brukenthal Museum. Tips are extra; travellers often give the guide CAD 8 to 10 a day and the driver CAD 4 to 5.

How big is the group?

Seven to twelve guests, never more, and we do not merge groups. Everyone fits in one vehicle, sits at one table at lunch and hears the guide on a narrow citadel lane, and a small group gets through Bran Castle at opening before the coaches arrive.

Who leads the trip?

A See Sight Tours guide travels with the group for all nine days. Licensed local guides join us for the walks in Bucharest, Brasov, Sighisoara and Sibiu, and castle guides show us Peles. We name your guide when we confirm your departure.

How fit do I need to be?

An easy level suits most people who can walk 2 to 3 hours a day on cobbles and climb stairs at their own pace. Bran Castle, the Sighisoara covered stair and the Viscri tower are the steepest parts, and each has a sit-out. Balea Lake is reached by road.

I am travelling solo. What is the single supplement?

A room of your own is CAD 745 more than the shared-room price, shown before you request to book, with no surprise at checkout. Solo travellers are a normal part of our groups, and you share every meal, guide and seat in the vehicle on the same terms as everyone else.

When is the best time to go to Romania?

May, June and September are mild, green and less crowded. July and August are warmer and busier at Bran and Peles, which is why we visit early. The Transfagarasan high road is usually open only from about July to October, so pick those months if the mountain road matters to you.

Is the Transfagarasan road open on my dates?

The high section to Balea Lake usually opens around 1 July and closes with heavy snow, often by the end of October; the exact dates change every year. Outside those months, or if snow shuts the road, day 8 becomes the ASTRA open-air museum and Cisnadioara, with the same Sibiu walk afterwards.

Is Bran Castle really Dracula's castle?

Not really. Bran was built by the Saxons of Brasov in the 14th century as a border fort, there is no firm evidence that Vlad the Impaler stayed there, and Bram Stoker never visited Romania. It is still worth seeing, and your guide tells both the legend and the history of Queen Marie, who lived there.

Do I need a visa for Romania?

Canadian and US citizens do not need a visa for short stays in Romania, which is in the EU and the Schengen area. The EU Entry/Exit System registers your fingerprints and photo at the border, and the EU has said ETIAS starts in the last quarter of 2026; we confirm what applies on your dates when you book.

How does booking work?

Choose a departure and request to book. We confirm your place within 24 hours, and no payment is taken until we do. The small-group trip starts from CAD 4,380 per person sharing a room, taxes included, and a private trip from CAD 7,885.

Can we travel privately or on our own dates?

Yes. Besides the small group, the trip comes as a private trip for your party only, on a date you choose, with your own guide and vehicle; start on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday so Peles, Bran and the Brukenthal Museum are open. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us and we will quote the same hotels, drivers and local guides.

How long are the drives?

Most days have under three hours of driving, broken by stops. The longest is the last day, about 290 km and four and a half to five hours from Sibiu to Bucharest airport, with Cozia Monastery and a sit-down lunch on the way. You can fly from Sibiu instead and skip it.
