Great day overall! We did experience a bit of a blizzard so that added some stress to the trip since it was so cold and everywhere was just covered in snow so walking was difficult because everywhere was slippery. I was impressed trip wasn't canceled because of the snow actually! The walk up& down to Dracula's castle was very stressful because the stones got very slippery in the snow - felt like the castle should have salted or sanded the stones to add some traction - everyone was slipping! Only note about our guide,Alex, was that I wish he shared more information! It felt limited and not very engaging but he also seems that he was distracted by the snow and how that added an extra stress.

Il castello di Peles bellissimo ed il paesino che lo ospita incantevole così come Brasov, molto caratteristico. Il castello di Bran è stato invece una delusione totale. Arredato in maniera davvero approssimativa con pochissimi cimeli dell'epoca e patetiche proieizoni alle pareti. All'ingresso un mercatino con cineserie di bassissima fattura e street food, almeno quello, davvero buono. Ne è comunque valsa la pena!
