A Day At The Castles

Bucharest has much to offer, but you’ll be amazed when discovering the totally distinct atmosphere of the nearby districts. Untouched countryside, twisting country lanes – learn about their pasts stretching all the way from medieval times up until they reached their peak during the glorious era of the nineteenth century. The day begins heading towards Sinaia, which was once the royal family's holiday destination while living in Romania, where I am there throughout this journey acting both as chauffeur and tourist guide. Listen closely to tales of joy mixed with sadness regarding how things ended so dramatically for royalty here before seeing some stunning interiors within these walls. Then hop straight back onto our vehicle again and travel onwards to get close enough to catch sight of Bran Castle just ahead, stopping either right next to it or perhaps choosing instead an eatery located somewhere amongst those quaint houses found near by. We shall then hear more details concerning not only what happened over the last six hundred fifty years since its construction began but also who were actually responsible for making such significant improvements along the way too! You may even have chance to ride one of the special lifts available specifically made for accessing areas deep within the heart of this ancient fortress itself if desired, whilst listening intently yet still managing somehow absorb everything being told simultaneously...
