Plovdiv

Then your Bulgaria tour package continues in Plovdiv where you will stay in the center of its historic Old Town. The cobblestone streets of Old Town beckon, and you can explore its galleries and museums as well as its Roman-era sites with your private guide.

Visit the Roman Amphitheater, one of the best-preserved in the world, and admire the ornate Hindliyan or Klianti Houses, beautifully restored examples of 19th-century architecture.

Your guide will also take you to Bachkovo Monastery, an important spiritual site nestled in the scenic Rhodope Mountains. The day concludes in Kapana, Plovdiv’s vibrant arts district, alive with music, food, and creativity — a wonderful way to experience Bulgaria’s modern spirit within your Romania Bulgaria Tour.

Veliko Tarnovo

Finally, conclude your Bulgaria tour with a journey through the Balkan Mountains to Veliko Tarnovo, known as the “City of the Tsars.” En route, stop in Kazanlak, home to the Valley of the Thracian Kings, where ancient tombs and treasures reveal the grandeur of Bulgaria’s earliest civilizations.

Once in Veliko Tarnovo, explore the atmospheric cobbled streets of the Old Town and visit Samovodska Charshia, a lively market street filled with craftspeople and local artisans. At Tsarevets Fortress, step back into Bulgaria’s medieval glory days as you walk among its towers, gates, and the Patriarchal Cathedral. Indeed, the view over the Yantra River gorge is truly breathtaking.

This stop promises to add historical depth and architectural beauty to your Romania and Bulgaria Tour Package.

On the sixth day of your journey, begin the Romania portion of your Bulgaria & Romania Tour Package.

Cross the Danube River into Romania and continue to Bucharest, the dynamic capital. On the way, stop in Shveshtari, a UNESCO-listed Thracian tomb, and in Ruse, Bulgaria’s “Little Vienna,” famous for its Belle Époque architecture and elegant squares.

In Bucharest, enjoy a private guided tour of the Old Town and the grand Calea Victoriei boulevard. Admire landmarks such as the Kretzulescu Church, Stavropoleos Monastery, and the Romanian Athenaeum. In addition, visit the colossal Palace of Parliament, one of the largest buildings in the world, and explore the Ceausescu Mansion to gain insight into Romania’s communist past.

With its striking contrasts and cultural richness, Bucharest offers a fascinating transition between the two nations, perfectly balancing this Romania Tour Package.

Your private driver will then transfer you into the Transylvania region—and seemingly back in time—as you are surrounded by the charm and culture of the castles and villages of the Carpathian Mountains.

Brașov

First stop in Sinaia to visit the fairytale Peles Castle, a Neo-Renaissance masterpiece surrounded by pine forests. Then continue to Brașov, where Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance architecture create an enchanting atmosphere. 

After settling into your comfortable accommodations at Schuster Boarding House, explore the medieval streets of Brașov on a private walking tour. Visit Rope Street, one of Europe’s narrowest passages, and the imposing Black Church.

The next day, take a day trip to Bran to visit Bran Castle, famously linked to the Dracula legend. Though its ties to Vlad the Impaler are tenuous, its turrets, towers, and sweeping views of the Carpathians make it an essential stop on any Romania Bulgaria Tour.

Filiași

Journey deeper into Transylvania as you transfer onward to Filiași, where your 16th century castle accommodations offer a unique immersion into the region.

En route to Filiași, enjoy a stop in Viscri, probably the most well known village in Transylvania. Also discover the colorful medieval town of Sighisoara, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the reputed birthplace of Vlad Dracula. Walk along cobblestone streets lined with pastel facades and admire the Church on the Hill, Clock Tower, and Spoonman’s Gallery, where you can meet local artisans.

The next day, take a day trip to the village of Corund, where craftspeople still produce pottery, honey, and textiles using centuries-old techniques. Taste regional delicacies and enjoy an authentic cultural experience in the heart of Transylvania.

Cincsor

Next, travel to the charming village of Cincsor and stay in beautifully restored guesthouses. Here, you’ll enjoy a private cooking class, learning how to prepare refined Saxon and Hungarian dishes using fresh local ingredients.

Visit the village’s fortified Lutheran church and meet locals who preserve centuries of heritage. Before returning to Bucharest, stop at Fagaras Citadel, one of Transylvania’s best-preserved medieval fortresses, surrounded by a tranquil moat.

A scenic drive back to Bucharest takes you through the twisting mountain passages along the beautiful Transfagarasan Road, another exciting note on your Romania Bulgaria tours. Spend your final evening in Bucharest, reflecting on your journey.
