Additional Information

In this journey, we’ll explore three of Transylvania’s most ancient and attractive historical places.

Our trip will start with a visit to the Saxon village of Viscri, exhibiting quaint lanes and beautifully hued Saxon homes. On reaching the top of the hill, we’ll visit the fortified white church, which gives the village, Viscri, its name (translated as the White Church).

Our next stop will be Sighisoara, a city that held a significant strategic and commercial standing on the fringes of Central Europe for numerous centuries. With its old medieval homes boasting stunning architecture, and tight alleys lined with brightly painted houses, you’ll feel transported back in time to an era of princes and princesses (refer Vlad Tepes) residing in the city.

Our last destination will be the Rupea Citadel, perched on Cohalmului Hill, overseeing the city from its elevated position. Constructed and enlarged during the 14th-17th centuries as a fort and safe haven for neighboring villages, a beautiful panorama of the surrounding landscapes can be beheld from its vantage point.

Fun trip - I had a fantastic trip with Claudiu, he was my guide and a great one. I was alone on the trip but I had plenty to talk to with Claudiu and it was so much fun. The sites are amazing and it was offseason so it was so relaxing without any crowds.
