Depart Bucharest and drive 4.5 hours to Sibiu — considered the most beautiful medieval city in Romania. Sibiu is an open-air museum with narrow streets, old houses, medieval churches, fortification walls, and towers. Spend your afternoon exploring this remarkable city. Overnight in a cozy hotel in Sibiu.

A packed day of medieval discoveries. Start with Slimnic Fortress ruins just outside Sibiu. Continue to Valea Viilor to see your first UNESCO-listed fortified church and learn about their crucial role in village defense. Stop in Mediaș — a small town with a surprisingly well-preserved medieval old town. End the day in Sighișoara, the only inhabited medieval citadel in Europe and a UNESCO Heritage site. Explore its romantic streets and spend the night here.

Visit the UNESCO-listed Saschiz fortified church, then stop at Rupea Fortress — a restored citadel with breathtaking hilltop views. Your final medieval city is Brașov, with its ancient buildings, the Black Church (Romania's largest Gothic church), and medieval remains. After exploring Brașov, drive 3 hours back to Bucharest where your guide drops you off at your hotel.
