Full description
Step back in time and discover the medieval gems of rural Transylvania on a tour from Brașov led by an expert guide. The journey begins in the picturesque village of Viscri to admire the iconic Viscri Fortified Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We will continue toward the Sighișoara Citadel, one of Europe's best-preserved medieval towns and the only urban center in Romania that has kept its 16th-century appearance intact.
