Day 2 is a day of relaxation in nature with hikes and surprise outdoor activities in the village of Miclosoara. A visit to the Museum of Transylvanian Countryside and traditional lunch or picnic lunch are included in the program. Accommodation in Miclosoara.
Our first stop is Viscri, a village so secluded and untouched by modernity that you feel like you’ve taken a trip back in time. A stroll through this medieval village takes us to the fortified church which is a UNESCO heritage site. Our visit in Viscri would not be co...
This is a day spent visiting Saxon villages and learning the story of the Transylvanian Saxons: where they came from, why they stayed in Transylvania and how is their legacy preserved nowadays. We visit the Saxon fortified churches of Biertan, Richis and Alma Vii. Accommodation: traditional Saxon house in Malancrav or Alma Vii. Dinner on your own.
This day will start in Sibiu, site seeing and taking in the sweetheart town of Romania. The first part of our visit is a walking tour of the Old Town with its three main squares, The Bridge of Lies and the ‘eyes of Sibiu’. The afternoon is free time to enjoy the lovel...
The best drive in the world – that is what the Top Gear crew say about the Transfagarasan Road. In summer time we have a scenic, windy trip to the top at Balea Lake. In winter time we have the cable car to take us at the peak of the mountains. In the evening we return to Cincsor village. Dinner on your own.
Today we drive straight to the Carpathians, to the mountain village of Magura. Set in the Piatra Craiului National Park, Magura will transport you directly to the idyllic set from The Sound of Music. We go on an easy hike to the monastery of Bran and savor the lush green of the Carpathians. Accommodation in Bran. Dinner included.
Would it be a Transylvanian vacation without Dracula? We spend the morning visiting Dracula’s Castle in Bran with all its dark rooms and secret staircases. After lunch we make our way towards Bucharest with a last stop in Busteni at the Cantacuzino Castle. Here we enjoy deserts and coffee with an amazing view over the Carpathians. In the evening we arrive in Bucharest with drop off at your hotel.
