The 15 Best Brașov Tours & Day Trips

Brașov is the short-hop base: Bran, Râșnov and the bear sanctuary all sit inside an hour, and Peleș is not much further. The Council Square and the Black Church fill a half day on their own. These 15 are compared on what genuinely fits into one day out of Brașov and what does not.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 949 reviews · 8 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $82Our pick

From Brasov, visit Peles, Bran and Rasnov on a small-group day with expert guide context, timed tickets, and Carpathian views.

“First of all, take the Peles Castle addition. I cannot say enough about how extraordinary Peles is. Don’t miss it. Bran and Rasnov were also quite interesting and scenic. In each case our guide provided informative and entertaining commentary, and really helped us understand the history and the personalities who shaped these places. This is an excellent tour, highly recommended.”

“Alex is a warmhearted and knowledgeable guide, who illustrated his informations with personal memories (i.e.fall of communism and Ceauceşku) and anecdotes. He always seeks the dialogue with his guests instead of just mentioning dates and names. Highly recommended. Andreas”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 398 reviews · 3 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $96

Join a small-group car ride from Brașov to a secure hide in the Carpathians, escorted by a ranger for brown bear sightings.

“When we got to the hide there was already a bear there! He ran off when he heard us and then about 90 minutes of patient waiting later all of a sudden 3 came at once! It's a wild habitat not a zoo feeding time so be aware you're not guaranteed to see them, but we were lucky to see 5 in total. Ali was really knowledgeable and a great guide and made sure the whole journey was safe and enjoyable.”

Small-group day trip from Brasov to Viscri fortified church, Sighișoara and Rupea Fortress. Guided history, free time, UNESCO sites.

“What an AMAZING experience!! I have to say, this was the highlight of our trip! Communication on pick-up and time was fantastic. The best part? CHARLIE! What a RIOT. Charlie was an amazing guide, he had lots of stories to share and kept us in stitches. We walked 176 stairs to visit a church and grave site in Sighisoara - inside the basement of the church were tombs and during the story telling, there was a little surprise - I won't spoil the fun with the details but if you like to laugh - you'll love it! It was a great day - beautiful country side and I would highly…”

“I have done this exact tour twice. I went for the first time with Claudiu as my tour guide and I would describe him as a modern guide. I recommend touring with Claudiu if you prefer a more contemporary or conversational guide. I took my family and we had Traian as our guide. Everyone enjoyed his attitude and mannerism, as well. I would describe him as a traditional or old school style of tour guide. If you prefer a classic tour, then I would recommend Traian. My parents extremely enjoyed Traian as their tour guide. The car is extremely nice, the timing of everything, and the convenience. I would take…”

Private guided hiking in Piatra Craiului National Park from Brasov, with route choices, lunch stop, and an optional Bran Castle visit.

“Alex was a great guide and this was a beautiful hike! I wasn't aware of just how hard this hike would be (1000 meters/3200 feet) of elevation gain over about 4 miles, which included rock scrabbling and using a cable assist in 2 places but it was well worth it! I was grateful Alex let me use his hiking poles on the way down because it is VERY steep and my legs were like overcooked spaghetti noodles by the time we started decending.”
