Road trip through Romania - Bucharest and Transylvania

Road trip through Romania - Bucharest and Transylvania
This family's experience:

Activities: We visited Bran Castle, where children up to six years old did not pay an entrance fee. "Wichtig ist, dass ihr eure Tragehilfe mitnimmt, da es mehrstöckig ist." (It is important that you take your carrying aid with you, as it is multi-story). We explored the castle on our own. We ate Goulash in one of the restaurants

Highlights: The visit was worth it, especially for those interested in old castles. The castle has many stairs, so using a baby carrier is recommended. We ate goulash in one of the restaurants ✨
