About this trip
Five days across two countries, tracing a route from Bucharest through Transylvania to Budapest. The focus is castles and the Dracula legend, with proper history woven through the drives between them.
You get guided tours at the main sites and free time to wander on your own, staying in 4-star hotels with breakfast included each morning.
It's a straightforward history-and-scenery run rather than a deep dive into any one place — good if you want a taste of Romania and Hungary in a short space of time.
