Day 1: Curtea de Arges Monastery and Sibiu
Discover Alba Iulia citadel and visit the Turda Salt Mine
Your morning starts with a scenic drive, leading you to the fortress city of Alba Iulia. Known for its star-shaped citadel, Alba Carolina, this location is a living museum of Romanian history. Explore the beautifully preserved bastions and ramparts, the Union Hall where the unification of Transylvania with Romania was declared in 1918, and the stunning Roman Catholic Cathedral, an architectural gem that whispers the tales of past centuries.
After Alba Iulia, your adventure takes you underground to the marvels of the Turda Salt Mine. Prepare to be astonished as you descend into an otherworldly realm. The salt mine, known for its immense therapeutic properties, is also an underground theme park that fascinates both the young and the old. Breathe in the pure air as you explore its majestic chambers, row across the subterranean lake, and marvel at the amphitheater carved from salt.
In the evening you will return to Sibiu.

Day 2: Alba Iulia and Turda Salt Mine
Visit the Sighișoara Citadel and take a walk in Viscri
Sighisoara is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe. The citadel is a vibrant, living museum, its cobblestone streets and colorful buildings narrating stories of ancient days. Here, you can explore the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler, thought to be the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Climb the covered Scholar’s Stairs to the Church on the Hill for a panoramic view of the city that seems untouched by time.
The journey continues towards the serene village of Viscri, renowned for its fortified church, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Viscri offers a glimpse into the rural life of Transylvania that has remained largely unchanged for hundreds of years.
The fortified church is a Saxon heritage in Transylvania. Take your time to explore the church and the village, immersing yourself in the quietude and simplicity of rural Transylvanian life.
In the evening go to Brasov and enjoy a tasteful dinner in the city center.

Day 3: Sighișoara Citadel and Viscri Fortified Church
Explore Brasov and visit the Bran Castle
Take the time to discover Brasov and wander through the Council Square (Piața Sfatului), heartily embraced by colorful baroque buildings and the striking Black Church that stands as a guardian of the city’s past.
After that, go to the legendary Bran Castle, perched high on a rocky outcrop and shrouded in the lore of Dracula. Despite its fictional connections to Bram Stoker’s vampire, Bran Castle’s real allure lies in its majestic architecture and the history encapsulated within its walls. Tour the castle’s many rooms and secret passages.
In the afternoon go back towards Bucharest.
