Dracula's Castle, Følg legenden i Transsylvanien, privat tur fra Bukarest
Beskrivelse
Dette er en privat tur fra Bukarest til Transilvanien. Fra det uhyggelige til det sublime, kan du stadig se det bedste af Transsylvanien, selv uden at overnatte på denne dagstur fra Bukarest. Rejs i din private gruppe, besøg de rumænske kongeliges sommerhjem på historiebogen Peles Slot, og fremtryll derefter billeder af grev Dracula på det gotiske Bran Slot. Den tempofyldte rejseplan giver også tid til et stop i middelalderbyen Brasov, der er kendt for sin sorte kirke.

Kendt for sine brede træforede boulevarder, herlige Belle Époque-bygninger og et ry for det høje liv (som i 1900'erne fik sit kaldenavn "Lille Paris"), Bukarest, Rumæniens største by og hovedstad, er i dag en travl metropol. Den rumænske legende fortæller, at byen Bukarest blev grundlagt på bredden af Dambovita-floden af en hyrde ved navn Bucur, hvis navn bogstaveligt betyder "glæde". Hans fløjtspil blændede angiveligt folket, og hans stødige vin fra nærliggende vinmarker elskede ham til de lokale forhandlere, der gav sit navn til stedet.
Peles Castle er det mest imponerende slot i Rumænien og en must-see attraktion, hvis du brænder for historier om royalty, pragtfuld arkitektur og historie. Kongefamiliens sommerophold indtil 1948, da det blev konfiskeret af det kommunistiske styre, er slottet fra Sinaia i dag, ligesom i de første år, et af de smukkeste slotte i Europa. I 1866 havde Rumænien kun delvist dagens størrelse. To af de historiske provinser formåede at forene sig, men uafhængigheden fra det osmanniske imperium var stadig nødvendigt for at få unionen styrket. Det var Rumæniens første konge, Carol den 1. af Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, der formåede at nå dette store nationale mål. Prinsen af Rumænien fra 1866 og kongen af Rumænien fra 1881, Carol den 1. byggede Peles-slottet, en kongelig bopæl, der blev et livslang projekt indtil hans død i 1914.
Omgivet af en aura af mystik og legende og ligger højt oppe på en 200 fodhøj klippe skylder Bran Castle sin berømmelse til sine imponerende tårne og tårne samt til den myte, der er skabt omkring Bram Stockers Dracula. Bran-slottet blev bygget på stedet for en Teutonic Knights-højborg fra 1212 og blev først dokumenteret i en handling, der blev udstedt den 19. november 1377, hvilket gav sakserne i Kronstadt (Brasov) privilegiet til at bygge citadellet. Selvom Stoker aldrig har besøgt Transsylvanien, var den irske forfatter afhængig af forskning og hans livlige fantasi for at skabe den mørke og skræmmende stampende grund af grev Dracula, hvilket førte til vedvarende myter om, at det engang var hjemsted for Vlad Tepes, hersker over Walachia. Mens tilknytningen til Dracula i bedste fald er malerisk, fortsætter slottet med en stærk attraktion for alle fans af grevene.
Brasov er et af de mest besøgte steder i Rumænien, omkranset af tinder i de sydlige Karpater og strålende med gotisk, barok og renæssancearkitektur samt et væld af historiske attraktioner. Brasov blev grundlagt af de teutoniske riddere i 1211 på et gammelt dacisk sted og bosatte sig af sakserne som en af de syv murede citaeller*. Byens beliggenhed ved krydset mellem handelsruter, der forbinder det osmanniske rige og Vesteuropa, sammen med visse skattefritagelser, gjorde det muligt for saksiske købmænd at opnå betydelig rigdom og udøve en stærk politisk indflydelse i regionen. Dette afspejledes i byens tyske navn, Kronstadt, såvel som i dets latinske navn, Corona, der betyder kroneby (deraf byens våbenskjold, som er en krone med egerødder).

My Wife, me and our friend Lou LouAnn recently did a 7 Rivers of Europe Cruise on AmaWaterways River Cruises, our last stop was Bucharest Romania and so we decided a trip to Bran (Dracula's) Castle near Halloween time was a must before returning home to Phoenix. We pre-arranged with our driver Cornel Negoi from Romaqnia Best Travel to be picked up at the Cruise Ship dock and of course Cornel was there right on time! Cornel speaks many languages including Romanian and English very well, our drive was over the Carpathian Mountain Range and the conversation was fluid, engaging, and delightful. We talked about our families, life in Romania and the rest of the world, and I felt truly relaxed and confident in our guide from the first moments we met! He drove us in a comfortable car that handled 6 pieces of luggage, and the views of the Carpathian Mountains were stunning as the leaves were turning beautiful fall colors. We arrived at Dracula's (Bran) Castle and Cornel took us to the entry way where we got our tickets (not included in tour cost), and he waited for us at his car, telling us to take as much time as we would like inside the castle. We climbed the steps to this famous attraction and thoroughly enjoyed venturing into the various parts of the castle! We toured the castle for a little over an hour and headed for the driver, who was patiently waiting for our return. A few minutes later, our driver stopped at a Gem of a restaurant called the Stana Turistica Sergiana Poina Brasov which served Romanian Cuisine fit for a King (or Vampire), lol After a hearty meal, Cornel drove us to Bucharest where we were scheduled to fly out the next day and dropped us off at the The Marmorosch Bucharest, Autograph Collection Hotel, calling the porters in advance who were waiting outside and immediately took our luggage into the hotel. Best Romanian Tour ever! Guide was professional, polite, informative and truly a wonderful human being...Take this trip it is 100% worth it! 5 Stars out of 5 Stars, and Two Thumbs up, Way UP!
We had a tour that exceeded our expectations. The car was very spacious and from the luxury range. The guide was friendly and knew well the history of his country, told us a lot of interesting things. A proactive person and a very good driver. I highly recommend collaborating with him.
This tour was incredible. Our guide for the day was Cornell and I think everyone should experience a tour with Cornell. He was fantastic and made the day one of our favorites during our trip. If you're booking this trip, know that Peles Castle is not open for visitors Monday - Thursday. Before confirming the tour, Cornell called me to let me know. We were able to visit the grounds and outside of Peles, and it was fantastic. There is a cafe very close by, where you can get a lovely cappuccino and sit on the deck looking at the castle. It was perfect. A bit later we unfortunately ran into some traffic, but Cornell kept us entertained with facts and lore of Romania, along with fun stories about his life and family. It made being stuck in traffic seem not so bad, like we were chatting with an old friend. This was definitely a tour to remember.
Thank you so much for this kind words. You was the ones who inspired me in this tour because was so interactive . I enjoy your presence also. Thank you again and we are waiting for you back in Romania. We have so manny things to show you! All the best, Cornel
