Libearty Bear Sanctuary & Dracula's Castle Tour expand_more
- Enjoy a fantastic day away from the city. Start the tour by visiting Europe’s largest bear sanctuary in Zarnesti, Libearty Bear Sanctuary- the home of almost 90 brown bears. More than 69 hectares of forest with rivers and ponds are now the home of almost 90 brown bears. Most of the bears in the Sanctuary were rescued from the most miserable and small cages where they were used as a form of entertainment for tourist attractions. Since 2008, this wild place is being visited and you will see the sight of bears climbing trees, playing in the water pools or just lazing in the meadows.
- Afterwards, head deep into the Carpathian Mountains to explore the legend of Dracula at spooky Bran Castle. Also called Dracula's Castle, built originally as a fortress, surrounded by an aura of mystery and legend, owes its fame to its imposing towers and turrets as well as to the myth created around Bram Stocker's Dracula. Along with history, the Castle had a strategic mission of being the border between Transylvania and Wallachia. Narrow winding stairways lead through some 60 timber rooms, many connected by underground passages, which house collections of furniture, weapons and armour dating from the 14th to the 19th centuries.
- In the evening, return to Bucharest to conclude the tour.
