Day 02

Sighisoara, Brasov, Sinaia Monastery and Bucharest

Meet your tour guide and continue your guided tour:Sighisoara CitadelIf you want to go back in time and glimpse what life was like in the Middle Ages, you have to visit Sighisoara, Romania's medieval town and the birthplace of Count Dracula - actually Vlad the Impaler. Built in 1280, Sighisoara Citadel is not just one of Romania's most visited tourist attractions. It is a living, breathing medieval fortress, as it has remained inhabited for over 700 years - something quite rare.After just a few steps along the cobblestone streets, past the gates and massive stone walls that rise as high as 14 meters, you will know you are in one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe. For this reason, it is not surprising that the Romanian citadel was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List of historical and cultural landmarks.Brasov City TourAre you looking for a different urban experience where you can explore history and culture while rediscovering the beauty of nature at the same time? The city of Brasov is the ideal destination for lovers of history, music and culture, adventure, good food, winter sports, hunting, hiking, and even romance.It is the quintessential mountain adventure. Brasov is sure to be a high point of your trip - literally. Even though its average altitude is 625 meters, because its structure includes Postavaru Peak, it is the highest city in Romania. Another thing that makes this tourist destination unique is that Brasov is the only city in the world that contains a natural reservation, the one on Mount Tampa.Sinaia MonasteryOn your private tour in Romania, you will visit this beautiful mountain resort, a place where many kings and important figures came to unwind and reflect. Sinaia Monastery is where you have the chance to escape reality and experience the simplicity and richness of Orthodox spirituality, beautifully expressed in the artistic representations of this house of worship.As soon as you pass through the massive door of this fortified monastery, you will step into a place of absolute peace and tranquillity, where even time seems to have stopped. With the help of your private guide, you will have the chance to understand Romania's history better. This Orthodox establishment is over 300 years old.It is dubbed "the Cathedral of the Carpathians" because of its position in one of Romania's most beautiful mountain resorts, surrounded by stunning mountain scenery. It was also the first construction in this area, founded by Prince (Spatarul) Mihai Cantacuzino, who decided to erect the house of worship following a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, with its name inspired by Mount Sinai.
