Visitors will explore the Sinaia Monastery and Peles Castle, constructed by Romania’s first King, Carol I, as a summer royal residence. The castle is a stunning architectural marvel and was notably the first in Europe to have electric power.

Brasov - From Sinaia, the tour proceeds to Brasov, a historic medieval citadel and the most significant commercial hub among the seven German Medieval Cities (Siebenbuergen). Guests will explore the Old Town (the Historical Centre) and enjoy a delightful lunch.

Sapanta-Peri Monastery - The Merry Cemetery is renowned for its unique, carved, and painted crosses, featuring humorous epitaphs that reflect the local spirit and Romanian culture.

Moldovita Monastery - Constructed in 1532, Moldovita Monastery was initially a monastery for monks and later became a convent for nuns.
