Together with Adriana we have put together 2 tours and we hope you can participate.

You will have the chance to discover some of the most beautiful natural, rural and cultural sights in Transylvania and help you understand the rich and complicated history and multicultural flavors of the region.

We are proposing you two options, the main difference being in the number of days, and therefore, number of attractions you will get to see.

Option 1: 16-21 May, 6 days

During this tour you will discover well preserved villages, a marble village, taste a home-made meal in Orlat and visit a sheepfold. You will also learn about the history of Romania by visiting ancient Dacian ruins and the Alba Iulia fortress. Further on you will admire the rich Saxon heritage at Calnic Fortress and in the old center of Sibiu, but also traditional Romanian houses at the Open Air Village Museum. Splendid architecture can be seen at Corvin Castle and Densus Church, while going down in an alien-looking salt mine will be a unique experience. On those particular dates there is a Jazz Festival in Sibiu and a museum night at Corvin Castle with beautiful lighting.

All throughout your trip you will have opportunities to spend time in nature and relax.

Option 2: 30 may – 10 June, 12 days

The first 5 days of the tour are identical with option 1.

Option 2 also provides the chance to meet with members of local communities, such as a gypsy coppersmith family or craftsmen from Viscri village (blacksmith or brickmaker). You will also get to a visit a glass-making factory and enjoy a relaxing day in the mountains. You will see more UNESCO World Heritage places such as Viscri and Sighisoara Medieval Citadel. Other places of interest are Brasov, the famous Bran and Peles Castles, Bucharest city center and the bear sanctuary in Zarnesti.

This tour is planned in a period that includes public holidays in Netherlands (May 30th and June 10th).
