6 days in Romania itinerary

Curtea de Arges Monastery and Sibiu

Start your tour in Bucharest and depart towards Sibiu. Today’s voyage will not only take you to Sibiu but also guide you through the historic town of Curtea de Arges.

In Curtea de Arges you will be greeted by the awe-inspiring silhouette of the Curtea de Argeș Monastery, a jewel of Romanian architecture.  Take a moment to wander through this sacred space that is surrounded by a dark legend.

If the 6-day tour in Romania takes place between July and October, you will go to Sibiu on Transfagarasan, voted the most beautiful road in the world.

In the other months, Transfagarasan is closed, so you will continue on Oltului Gorge.

In the afternoon, take a long walk in Sibiu, a city known for its Gothic architecture, cobbled streets, and the famous eyes of its houses that seem to follow your every move.

Today, you’ll delve into the subterranean marvel of the Turda Salt Mine, followed by an exploration of Cluj-Napoca’s vibrant streets and historical treasures.

Turda salt mine

After a restful night in Sibiu, your morning begins with a scenic drive towards Turda. Here lies a hidden world below ground, the Turda Salt Mine. Prepare for the mine’s vast chambers, where the air is charged with healing properties. The descent into the mine reveals an amphitheater, an underground lake that you can navigate by boat, and even a Ferris wheel.

The Merry Cemetery in Sapanta

The Merry Cemetery in Sapanta offers a colorful twist on the eternal resting place. It is famous for its vividly painted crosses and epitaphs that humorously narrate the lives of the deceased.

The wooden churches of Maramures

8 wooden churches in Maramures are UNESCO heritage sites and you will visit 2 of them: Desesti and Barsana. These architectural wonders showcase the skillful craftsmanship and deep spiritual life of the region.

Your evening concludes with a stay in a cozy guesthouse, where the hospitality of Maramureș can be fully appreciated.

Mocanita steam train

On the fourth day, your adventure continues with a journey aboard the Mocănița steam train, a charming relic of the past. This experience offers not just a trip through scenic landscapes, but a voyage back in time, where the pace of life seems to slow down to the rhythm of the train’s steady beat.

The train, operating on a narrow-gauge railway, trundles along at a leisurely pace, allowing you to enjoy the natural beauty of the Vaser Valley.

After 2 hours the train makes a stop, giving you the chance to stretch your legs and enjoy a picnic while listening to traditional music.

Once you come back, it is time to say good bye to Maramures and go to Sighisoara.

In the afternoon, go to Viscri. Famous for its fortified church, part of UNESCO’s World Heritage, Viscri is also the village that charmed King Charles when he visited Transylvania.

In the evening, go to Brasov.

Brașov old town and Bran Castle

If you want to know what you can do in Romania in 6 days, this itinerary is an excellent start. But you cannot end this experience without the visit of 2 famous landmarks: Brasov and Bran Castle.

In the morning enjoy a leisurely exploration of Brasov, a medieval gem. Go to the Council Square (Piața Sfatului), visit the Black Church, and stroll down the narrowest street in Romania, Strada Sforii.

In the afternoon, continue with a visit to Bran Castle. Perched on the border between Transylvania and Wallachia, this fortress is often associated with Dracula’s legend, thanks to Bram Stoker’s novel.

After discovering the myths and truths of Bran Castle, it is time to come back to Bucharest, where your trip ends.

Book an extra night in Bucharest if you want to explore also the capital of Romania.
