Review of Brasov’s bear sanctuary, Bran Castle, and Rasnov Fortress tour, with practical tips on timing, guides, tickets, and value.
“This is the most beautiful & heartbreaking place to visit. The life story behind these bears is horrifying. I am very grateful to the staff of this sanctuary & the professionalism they provide. I really appreciate how the bears quality of life comes first. Long before tourism, for example they only offer morning tours & they limit how many can visit per day. It was my pleasure to visit, learn & see the growth of some of these bears that were brought here from terrifying conditions & environments.

My husband and I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone (without mobility issues) who wishes to see and understand Transylvania.”

“We made the mistake of taking a 4yr old child that wasn’t able to go in to the sanctuary, so he stayed outside with Dad. It makes sense, the bears are rescued and nervous.
