The recommendations of our tour guides:

We are always eager to make sure our  guests have a wonderful time while participating on our tours.  Organizing private and small group tours allows us to be flexible with  time and always have opportunities for breaks.
Usually, we arrive to Bran around mid-day and after visiting Bran castle  our guests can have some free time on the premises and nearby the  castle grounds for lunch, shopping or photographing the area.
In the Tea House, a small restaurant in the castle’s courtyard one can  try the Funeral cake, a porridge like dessert with walnuts, raisins, rum and much more. In Romanian called Coliva the funeral cake usually is  served at funerals and commemoration of deceased loved ones. It goes  well with a good coffee or tea.
Nearby the castle entrance a small souvenir market is located, our  favorite stall is selling traditional masks and handcrafted objects and  textiles.  Please ask your guide to point it out to you!
Our guests have the option to decide to have a proper sit-down meal or  something quick on the move. The same market has food stalls, one of the  most popular ones sells Romanian Hot Dogs (local sausage sandwiches)  and Hanul Bran restaurant offers a large choice of tasty Romanian  cuisine.
