Breathtaking Romania featuring transilvania

 Day 1: Arrive Bucharest

Welcome to Romania – upon arrival, your Sky Vacations ambassador will meet and transfer you to your hotel. The remainder of the day is yours to unwind.  

Day 2: Bucharest

After breakfast at your hotel, we start our day with a full day of sightseeing of this vibrant young city of Bucharest. We start with Bucharest Parliament building followed by Lipscani. Save your appetite for lunch at Hanul  Manuc a traditional manor.

Day 3: Sinaia

The highlight of day is a trip to Sinaia – visit Castle PelesSinaia, one of Romania‘s finest holiday resorts, located deep into the Carpathian Mountains. In the late 19th century King Charles I of Romania chose Sinaia as his summer residence and built the fabulous Peles Castle that is a museum that some say rivals Versaille.

Day 4: Braşov

As we make our way to the gateway into Transylvania, you will notice the relaxed pace of life meandering through Brasov’s narrow cobblestone streets.  Braşov boasts everything from dynamic modern city life to old  world charm and fascinating scenery. We then continue to B ran Castle located between Transylvania and Wallachia, known as Dracula’s Castle, one of the beautiful tourist areas of Romania.

Day 5: Sibiu and Sibiel

Another exciting day awaits us as we make our way over to Sibiu, the capital of the Principality of Transylvania between 1692 and 1791 and 1849–65. Sibiu was named the European Region of Gastronomy, while in 2020 it was designated “Europe’s sixth best tourist destination”. Let’s plan our trip to this fascinating region that will host the European Wandering Capital event in 2021, the most important tourist wandering event in Europe.

We then continue to Sibiel – surrounded by forest, there’s a hint of fairy-tale menace in Sibiel’s stark setting. A rainbow of well-tended houses on the main street with a milk-white 18th-century church rises in front of its main draw, the Glass Icons Museum.Traditional Lunch in Sibiel hosted by locals

Our day ends with a visit to Hunedoara to see the epic Corvin Castle, a Gothic-Renaissance castle, one of the largest in Europe.
