The main attraction is obviously Bran, or Dracula's Castle but Peles Castle is one of the most beautiful castles I have ever seen and I have seen many on my travels throughout Europe.
Also, our guide Gabriel is a literal Wikipedia of knowledge and not just about the castles. His knowledge of the country and area was such an educational experience for us and was also a highlight.
The only negative was road construction on the only road from Peles to Bran and those 30 miles took us 3 hours. As a result we had to skip the portion that went to Brasov which was unfortunate.
Regardless of that, it was a great day seeing two very different castles, the gorgeous Romania countryside and the mystical Carpathian mountains.
