Bucharest – Cozia Monastery – Sibiu

SIBIU

Day 1. We meet at your hotel in BUCHAREST or at the OTOPENI airport and start our 3-day Transylvanian guided tour by car, through the scenic Olt River’s Valley. Our first stop is Cozia Monastery founded in 1388 by Mircea the Elder – a brave middle ages Wallachian Prince, and grandfather of the most notorious Vlad the Impaler.

The Evangelical Church
On our way to Sibiu from Cozia, we gaze at the Fagaras Mountains.
After a quick lunch and a short rest, we have a guided tour of the old city of Sibiu. A great sight over Sibiu rewards our effort of climbing the medieval stairs of the Council Tower. We stroll the old streets of Sibiu and it’s most important plazas: the Grand Square, the Small Square, and the Albert Huet Square (the oldest square, dating from 12-th century). We also pay a visit to the Orthodox Cathedral (discovering the similarities with the Saint Sofia’s Basilica of Constantinople) and to the impressive Evangelical Church.
You can enjoy a lovely Transylvanian evening at one of the numerous restaurants and bars of the Old City.

Overnight in SIBIU.

Sibiu – Sighisoara - Brasov

BRASOV

Day 2. From SIBIU we head towards the medieval city of Sighisoara through the Hartibaciu Valley road, crossing old Saxon villages and passing through deep forests.

Sighisoara - the Clock Tower
Our first stop is at Biertan fortified church – a UNESCO World Heritage monument. Biertan village was for centuries the seat of the Lutheran bishopric and that is why the local church is protected by so impressive fortifications.
The medieval citadel of Sighisoara – UNESCO site – is close to Biertan. It takes about two hours to visit the citadel: the Clock Tower of Sighisoara, the Church on the Hill, the Stairs, the fortifications and their towers. Sighisoara was also the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler – the grandson of Mircea the Elder (the founder of the Cozia Monastery we visited the day before). After our lunch in Sighisoara, we leave for Brasov. In our way to Brasov we gaze at Saschiz fortified church (XVth century - UNESCO World Heritage monument) and catch sight of the Rupea fortress.
Once in Brasov, after the check-in, we visit the impressive Black Church – a 14-th century Gothic monument, the fortifications, bastions and towers of the medieval fortress, the curious Rope Street (maybe the narrowest street in the world).
In the evening, you could enjoy dinner and one of the best Romanian ice-creams at one of the restaurants bordering the Brasov’s City Council Square.

Overnight in BRASOV.
