Medieval Castles

In a number of cities in Transylvania anyone can walk around and stroll as if they were in the Middle Ages, with impressive architectural structures of its size and age.

Our tours include visits at the main medieval cities and sites like Brasov, Cluj Napoca, Sibiu or Sighisoara for example, that have impressive and very well preserved medieval centers, hard to find in other places. The ancient city centers, the medieval buildings, the magnificent churches, the narrow streets, the picturesque squares and other beautiful sites can all take us back on a journey in time, to centuries ago.

The castle of Bran, the medieval fortresses of Rasnov, Rupea and the medieval fortified transylvanian churches and more medieval sites, are also listed in our tours.

In many of our tours we use as base our mountain village, Moieciu de Sus, settled 12 km from Bran and 35 km away from Brasov, where our guests come in touch with the local culture, the homestays and the delicious home made meals cooked with local produce.

If none of our suggestions suites you, we can tailor you an offer.

Just let us know what you want and we will prepare it for you!

Mouth-pleasing local gastronomy and breathtaking scenery worth seeing

Mouth-pleasing local gastronomy and breathtaking scenery worth seeing

Local gastronomy is based on homegrown and homemade products. If you are a foodie, you are bound to enjoy Romanian cuisine! If you were to understand what a Romanian typically likes to eat, you would need to think of the taste of hot bread from the oven, with a piece of smoked bacon and an onion, washed down later with a glass of palinca (home made plum brandy).
