Embark on an unforgettable journey through history at the extraordinary Rupea Fortress, a 14th-century stronghold perched atop a basalt rock. This impressive site features three formidable rings of defense, and within its walls lies a 60-meter-deep well with drinkable water that has stood the test of time - an enduring symbol of the fortress's rich heritage.

Continue your adventure in Sighisoara, Romania's only city that has beautifully preserved its 16th-century charm. Whether you choose to participate in a guided one-day tour or prefer to wander at your own pace, you'll uncover the fascinating history and captivating stories of this UNESCO-listed medieval town that will enchant you at every turn.

Your journey also includes a visit to the Viscri Fortified Church, one of Transylvania's finest examples of fortified churches. This remarkable landmark is celebrated for its historical significance and distinctive architectural features. King Charles, who owns a property in Viscri, has expressed his admiration for the region, stating, "Transylvania is in my blood."

This tour promises an extraordinary experience, merging history, culture, and the timeless beauty of Transylvania’s captivating heritage. Don’t miss the chance to explore this enchanting corner of the world!

The recommendations of our tour guides:

While in Sighisoara, you have several options to eat lunch or snacks. We provide you with ample time during the tour to dine at a restaurant, enjoy snacks at various stalls, take a stroll on your own, and explore for souvenirs.

One of their favorite snacks is the Langos, a deep-fried bread dough topped with cheese and sour cream for a savory treat, or powdered sugar/jam for a sweet one. We always recommend Alte Post Restaurant, where delicious traditional food is served.

For souvenirs, guests usually opt for traditional, handmade gifts that are easy to transport. Many of these are wooden spoons, small jewelry, or even T-shirts.

Please note that the locations we are visiting are unevenly paved with stones. For your safety, we recommend wearing sturdy shoes throughout the year.
