Review of the Bear Sanctuary and Bran Castle tour from Brasov, with practical advice on price, timing, guides, tickets, and who should book.
“Really enjoyed the bear sanctuary - very moving but also uplifting to see the bears living out their lives in safety. (Better than the wild bear watching experience for us - more authentic.) Bran castle was interesting too - very busy though so not for those who dislike crowds! Those with poor fitness/mobility would also struggle as it’s up a steep slope and has numerous narrow, winding staircases once inside. There is a small market outside which is good for souvenir shopping. Overall a good trip and our guide, Alin, was very responsive beforehand and informative during the tour.”

He shared with us a lot of history about the bears, Bran Castle and Rasnov Citadel. He also gave us a great lunch recommendation. We couldn’t recommend this tour and Vlad enough.”

Review of the LiBearty Bear Sanctuary trip from Brasov, with transport details, costs, bear welfare, itinerary, tips, and booking advice.
“Our guide was very helpful and friendly and as well as the bear sanctuary added more stops for photo opportunities to the trip . He also provided lots of snacks and beers for free. The bear sanctuary is wonderful if a little sad due to the ill treatment many of the bears now in care received in the past. The owners have done a great job in giving the 116 bears in their care a safe haven. Luckily bears are now protected in Romania.”
