With just four days it is possible to discover the cultural treasures of Bucovina and Transylvania. In Bucovina, Romania’s Orthodox heritage is revealed through the eight UNESCO-listed monasteries that are sprinkled across the hills of the region. Dating to the 15th and 16th centuries, the painted frescoes recall some of the most famous scenes from the bible and feature portraits of saints. The monasteries are true masterpieces of Byzantine art. In Transylvania, Romania’s Saxon heritage is evident in the citadels and fortified churches which date to the late Middle Ages. Biertan and Viscri are standouts among the seven UNESCO-protected villages of the region. Incredibly well-preserved, these villages are places where it feels as if time has stood still.

Itinerary #2: Explore Blue Danube
| Overview | Activity | |
| Day 1 | Arrive in Sulina and explore this Delta fishing town | City exploration |

A vast maze of marshes, lakes, dunes and reed islands, the Danube Delta is Europe’s largest remaining and best preserved wetland. The delta is rich in wildlife — wild horses, wolves, otters, boar and wildcats all reside here, but it’s the 300+ species of birds that are the draw for many. Keen birders will be on the lookout for White and Dalmatian Pelicans, Pygmy Cormorants and the increasingly rare Ferruginous Duck. The Letea Forest is another highlight of the region and is home to magnificent 500 year old trees and one of the best places to see wild horses. The region is dotted with traditional villages, offering a unique glimpse into the past. The town of Sulina sits at the mouth of the Danube Delta on the Black Sea and has a rich maritime history of pirates, merchants and sailors. Sulina is a great base for a short exploration of the delta and if you need some down time you can relax on the beaches of the Black Sea.
Itinerary #3: Treasures of Transylvania
| Overview | Activity | |
| Day 1 | Depart Bucharest and tour Peles and Bran Castle | Castle visits |
| Day 2 | Visit the Faragas Citadel and travel to Sighisoara | Sightseeing |
| Day 3 | Witness some of the remarkable fortified churches and the renowned Corvin Castle | History sightseeing |
| Day 4 | Explore the medieval city of Sibiu before returning to Bucharest |
If you’re looking for a short trip with maximum impact, you’d be hard pressed to find a destination more dramatic and exciting than the castles, fortresses and mountains of Transylvania. Follow in the footsteps of Bram Stoker’s Dracula and visit the legendary Bran Castle. Peles and Corvin castles will make you feel like you’ve been swept into a Grimm’s fairytale. The mountain towns of Sibiu, Brasov, Viscri are all stunningly beautiful and rich in history. Sighisoara is Europe’s last inhabited citadel and has been continuously inhabited since the 13th century. The Saxon fortified churches are a unique feature of the region—Biertan and Viscri are two of the most outstanding examples and are not to be missed. All of these incredible sights and more are brought to life against the stunning backdrop of the deep forests and peaks of the Carpathian Mountains.
