Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Bran - Brașov

    You'll head out to Sinaia first thing to see Peleș Castle, which really stands out with its white tower and interior design. When it was finished, this place had everything modern castles didn't yet have like thermal power, elevators, and electricity throughout. After that, you're off to Castle Bran, the one connected to the Dracula legend and Vlad the Impaler's story. From there, continue to Brașov, a medieval city with baroque, neoclassical, and Renaissance buildings mixed together. The Black Church and historic gates are worth seeing while you're there. You'll spend the night in Brașov.

  2. Day 2

    Sibiu

    This morning you'll travel to Sighișoara, an ancient medieval city in the middle of Transylvania with UNESCO heritage status. Walk around the medieval towers, ramparts, and old craftsmen's guild areas where you can learn about local history. Vlad Dracula was born here in 1431 and spent his childhood in this city. Later that day, head to Sibiu, which has three different squares worth exploring: the main square with its large market, a smaller square with museums, and Huet Square featuring a tall Gothic cathedral and a bishop statue. The city earned the title of European Capital of Culture in 2007. You'll stay overnight in Sibiu.

Then travel to Timișoara in the Banat region, which borders Romania, Serbia, and Hungary. It's an important university city with buildings that blend different architectural styles. The city was named European Capital of Culture in 2023 and played a major role in history as the starting point of the anti-communist revolution on December 17, 1989. You'll overnight in Timișoara.

    The 5-day tour started from Bucharest to Budapest which worked well with our plans. We visited the must see attractions along the way. I travelled with my 84 year old mom and except for the climb up to Bran Castle, she was able to participate in almost all the walking activities. Alex was our tour guide. We participated in a shared tour, and we were a total of 4 guests in a 7 passenger van, so it was roomy for us. Hotel choices were excellent. All were right in the old town except for the one in Brasov but we took a $2 uber ride. Here’s the list of our hotels: Hotel Capitol (Bucharest), Kolping (Brasov), Hotel Continental Forum (Sibiu), Hotel Timisoara (Timisoara). All were 4 star hotels except the one in Brasov (3 star). Alex has an impressive work experience, all related to the tourism industry so he is very knowledgeable and provided very good information on the sites we visited. The travel days were not too long, so we had a more relaxed pace which we preferred. We opted not to stop for lunch at sit-down restaurants, but rather as a group agreed to just get something quick at a snack bar during our free time (we were allotted from 1-2 hrs at each stop). Restaurant service in most Romanian restaurants take so long that it can easily take up to 2 hours from ordering to finishing your meal. Totally enjoyed this tour, our small group of 4 got along that we always went out together for dinner and drinks in the evenings. The tour gave us a quick overview of the popular tourist attractions of Romania. I hope to make it back and stay much longer at each place and see other parts that was not part of this itinerary. For those with limited time like us during this trip, book with this company, it is a great value and hope you get Alex as your guide. Thanks, Alex for a job well done and passing on great information about your country and very interesting insights and personal experiences to us.
