Embark on an enchanting day-trip to explore a charming region of Romania. Begin your journey in the morning from your hotel, heading north-west towards Pitesti, and eventually entering the picturesque Olt River Valley. This valley is renowned as one of Romania’s most stunning river valleys and is home to the Cozia Monastery, an architectural and historical gem built in 1388 by Mircea the Elder, the grandfather of Vlad the Impaler.
The next destination is Sibiu, which was honored as a European Cultural Capital in 2007 alongside Luxembourg, coinciding with Romania’s entry into the European Union. With its Large Square, Small Square, and Huet Square, Sibiu was the largest fortified city in Transylvania during medieval times. Enjoy a walking tour to admire remarkable landmarks such as the Brukenthal Palace, Jesuit Church, Old City Hall tower, Evangelical Church, and the Liars Bridge, the first iron-cast bridge in the country.
To provide insight into local life, particularly in rural areas, the tour will continue to the village of Sibiel, where the community has collaboratively restored many of the houses. Here, you can visit the largest museum of glass icons in Transylvania and learn about the origins of this unique tradition in the region.
Conclude the day by peacefully following the Olt River Valley back to Bucharest.
