Itinerary and highlights
Our tour starts from Cluj. We will pick you up from your chosen point of departure.
We will then begin our picturesque drive to Corvin Castle.
Cross over the drawbridge of Corvin Castle and pass into a world full of history and legend, marvel at the high vaulted ceilings of the Knight’s Hall, take in the austere beauty of the chapel, and finally venture out into the courtyard and peer down nearly 100 feet into the castle well while pondering the meaning of its mysterious inscription.
I will also be available to serve as your tour guide, offering you historical information and translation if needed.
For those who are interested, there is also a guided tour with headphones available to visitors to the castle.
Enjoy a lunch of traditional Romanian or European cuisine at Urban by WERK Restaurant.
Located in the shadow of Corvin Castle, Urban by WERK is the perfect place to refuel and refresh after a morning spent touring the castle.
Drive along the southern Carpathians and arrive to the city of Sibiu.
Wander through the cobblestone streets, explore the squares with their many shops and cafés, bask in the warm colors of the buildings, visit an ethnographic museum and take a walk across the Bridge of Lies followed by a delicious meal at any one of Sibiu’s many restaurants.
Ride back to Cluj in about 2 hours.
