We had such an amazing day exploring the castles. We visited bran first and our guide Alex was very knowledgeable and gave us some background info before we arrived and then provided a guided tour throughout the castle. It was great learning about the history of the castle and Romania, along with some folklore stories which really interested me. Our guide took us to some great photo spots as well. We then went to Peles castle which was stunning, I think this was one of my favorite castles I have seen and I’ve been to many, there were so much detailed artwork of all kinds, our guide was very knowledgeable on this castle too and provided a guided tour and showed us where we could grab lunch after. Next we went to the castle where Wednesday was filmed, it was awesome to see the home of Nevermore and see where the magic happened. The tour was in Romanian only but our guide did really well in translating the key information for us (he told us ahead of time this was the case and gave us the option to just see the outside or do the tour), we picked to do the tour but in hindsight I would recommend spending more time and Peles and skipping the inside part of the Wednesday castle (just don’t skip it completely as the view from there is amazing!!) I would highly recommend this tour and our guide was amazing 10/10!!
