Most Beautiful Castles of Transylvania (10 Days)

On the first day, our tour guide will receive you at the airport. Today, you have the opportunity to explore the capital of Romania, Bucharest. Depending on your arrival hour, you will take a long walking tour on the streets of Bucharest, visit some of the attractions in town or just do a sightseeing tour of the city.

Bucharest is connected with Sibiu through a beautiful road that crosses the Carpathian Mountains and follows the Olt River. In the afternoon you will have time to explore the medieval city of Sibiu, the former cultural capital of Europe. Wander down its narrow streets and see old buildings.

The day will start with a long walking tour in the white citadel of Romania, Alba Carolina, a star-shaped monument located in Alba Iulia that is full of history. This is the place where the unification of Romania was decided after the First World War, on 1 December 1918, which later became the national day of Romania.

Your tour guide will also show you the beautiful Corvin Castle, a medieval, 15th-century castle that remains intact and is one of the most beautiful in Europe.

Dedicate your fourth day in Romania to a natural wonder, the salt mine of Turda, a veritable museum of salt mining. Business Insider voted this salt mine as the coolest underground attraction in the world. Go underground and enjoy the salty air. After that, you will travel past Cluj-Napoca and stop in Bontida to visit the ruins of an amazing castle that hosts a music festival every year.

On Day 5, you will get the chance to discover one of the biggest cities in Romania, Cluj Napoca. Trendy cafes and restaurants, hipster pubs and ancient buildings mix to form a great atmosphere that combines both old and new in one place. In the afternoon head towards Targu Mures and spend the night in a special place, a real castle, Haller Castle in Ogra.

Use this day to explore yet another old city in Romania, Targu Mures. Its interesting buildings and old citadel, renovated a few years ago, will convince you that it deserves a stop here. Take a walk in the city center, observe the mix of Romanian and Hungarian cultures and climb one of the most beautiful streets with stairs in Romania. The fun does not end here, however. Sighisoara is still waiting for you!

Discover some of the most beautiful citadels of Transylvania and take in their medieval atmosphere. Start your day with a visit to the big fortified church in Biertan, a small citadel located in an isolated village.

The afternoon will give you an opportunity to enjoy a walking tour through beautiful old houses, and artistic shops in the citadel of Sighisoara, the only medieval citadel in Europe that is still inhabited.

The first half of this day involves discovering attractions on the way to Brasov. Your tour guide will take you to Viscri to show you the secret place of Prince Charles here in Transylvania as well as Rupea Citadel. In the afternoon, you will enjoy a mix of old towers, ancient buildings, modern pubs and nature in Brasov, another important medieval beauty in Transylvania. This city has something for everybody!

This day is dedicated to exploring the surroundings of Brasov. You will visit some of the most famous castles in Transylvania, Peles Castle and Bran Castle, the latter of which is also known as the castle of count Dracula.

Peles Castle, on the other hand, will enchant you with green gardens, opulent decorations and old furniture. Travel back to Bucharest at the end of the day. You are free to enjoy your last night in Romania in one of the animated pubs in the city's old town if you wish to.

Your tour guide will take you to the airport two hours before your departure flight. Say goodbye to Romania. We hope you enjoyed a wonderful stay in this country. You are always welcome to come back and explore more of this beautiful place.
