From Bucharest: Bear Sanctuary & Brasov Small-Group Guided Tour

Your experience

Travel from Bucharest to the Libearty Bear Sanctuary and medieval Brasov on a small-group guided tour with hotel pick-up and drop-off.

Getting started

Your day begins with hotel pick-up in Bucharest, where you’ll meet your professional guide and join a small group of no more than six participants. Settle into an air-conditioned vehicle and enjoy a complimentary coffee and bottle of water as you depart the city. The guide will outline the day’s route and answer any questions before you head into the Carpathian Mountains.

What to expect

Libearty Bear Sanctuary Zarnesti

This sanctuary is home to over 130 rescued bears, set within 70 hectares of oak forest near Zarnesti. The guided visit lasts about two hours and provides a close look at the lives of bears that have been saved from captivity.

• Observe the bears as they climb trees, swim in natural pools, and interact in a protected environment designed for their well-being.

• Hear the individual stories of the bears, each with a unique background, as your guide explains the sanctuary’s mission and the rehabilitation process.

• Your small group size ensures a more personal experience, with time for questions and unobstructed views throughout the sanctuary.

Brasov

After a scenic drive, arrive in Brasov, one of Romania’s best-preserved medieval cities, for a guided exploration and free time.

• Walk through the Old Town’s cobblestone streets, taking in colorful buildings and the Gothic Black Church, a city landmark.

• Visit Council Square, the lively heart of Brasov, and learn about the city’s history and architecture from your tour guide.

• Enjoy time to explore local shops or relax at a café, with your guide available for recommendations and insights.

Wrapping up

Following your visit to Brasov, return to your air-conditioned vehicle for the drive back to Bucharest. Your guide will ensure hotel drop-off, concluding your day with all logistics taken care of. Personal expenses, meals, and tips are not included, so you are free to choose where and how you enjoy your lunch and any additional purchases during your free time.
