Itinerary

Dive into the heart of Eastern Europe on the Highlights of Romania tour, a 10-day journey designed for seniors eager to uncover the country’s living traditions and history. Begin in the vibrant city of Cluj-Napoca, then journey to Maramures, where wooden churches and ancient customs still thrive. Traverse Transylvania’s UNESCO-listed towns like Sighisoara and Sibiu before arriving in Bucharest, Romania’s dynamic capital. Along the way, savor traditional cuisine and meet master craftsmen keeping age-old techniques alive. The tour’s unique selling point? A rare, authentic immersion into Romanian life, blending cultural experiences, historic wonders, and local hospitality at every turn.

day 1Adventure starts in Cluj-Napoca

Our adventure begins in Cluj-Napoca, one of the most beautiful and vibrant cities in Romania. During the dualist Austro-Hungarian period, Cluj experienced significant urban development with strong Western influences. This is visible in the city architecture, which is very different from Bucharest.
Say bună ziua (hello) to your leader and fellow travellers around 6pm, where we gather as a group for the first time to get to know each other and learn more about the adventure ahead.
Your leader will ensure a big welcome by arranging a group dinner for us all.
