Next, enjoy an afternoon privately guided tour of the city’s grand squares and colorful streets. Once a Saxon settlement, Sibiu established Romania’s first hospital, school, and library. However, today, its blend of elegance, creativity, and café culture makes it a true cultural gem.

You will also have the chance to discover Sighișoara, a medieval treasure perched on a hilltop. Enjoy a private walking tour through winding cobbled streets and pastel-hued homes. Visit the late-Gothic Church on the Hill, and admire the Clock Tower’s shimmering multicolored roof tiles. Also stop by the Spoonman’s Gallery to see master artisan Mark Tudose at work.

And don’t miss Casa Vlad Dracula, said to be the birthplace of Vlad Țepeș, the prince who inspired the Dracula legend.

After lunch in the Citadel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stop in Mălâncrav. Here you can visit its beautifully fortified church, famous for its rare pre-Lutheran blue frescoes. Indeed, these painted monasteries prove a highlight of any Romania tour package.

Upon arrival, stroll through the medieval center, explore Rope Street — one of the narrowest in Europe — and visit the Black Church. For sweeping views of the valley, walk up to the city’s medieval walls.

In the afternoon, drive to nearby Bran to visit the legendary Bran Castle. Perched on a rocky cliff, the castle’s turrets and stone halls evoke the Gothic spirit of Bram Stoker’s imagination. While neither the author nor Vlad the Impaler ever visited, the setting perfectly captures the mysterious allure of Transylvania.

Along the way, stop at Peles Castle — a Neo-Renaissance masterpiece — and visit the nearby town of Sinaia. For those interested, Pelisor Palace offers an intimate glimpse into royal life with exquisite Art Nouveau interiors.

Upon arrival in Bucharest, check in to the InterContinental Athenee Palace. Later, set out on a half-day walking tour through Old Town, a lively district where centuries of history meet contemporary culture. Stroll along medieval cobblestone streets lined with cozy cafés, boutiques, and wine bars.
