The recommendations of our tour guides:
We are always eager to ensure that our guests have a wonderful time while participating in our tours. Organizing private and small group tours allows us to be flexible with time and always have opportunities for breaks.
Usually, we arrive in Bran around mid-day, and after visiting Bran Castle, our guests can have some free time on the premises and nearby the castle grounds for lunch, shopping, or photographing the area.
In the Tea House, a small restaurant located in the castle’s courtyard, one can usually try the Funeral Cake, a porridge-like dessert featuring walnuts, raisins, rum, and more. In Romania, the funeral cake, called Coliva, is usually served at funerals and commemoration of deceased loved ones. It pairs well with a good cup of coffee or tea.
Nearby the castle entrance a small souvenir market is located, our favorite stall is selling traditional masks and handcrafted objects and textiles. Please ask your guide to point it out to you!
Our guests have the option to choose between a proper sit-down meal or something quick on the go. Near the castle entrance, a small souvenir market is located.
