Optional Sights to Visit on This Trip

Corvin Castle

Corvin Castle, also known as Hunyadi Castle, towers over Hunedoara as one of Europe's largest Gothic-Renaissance strongholds. Commissioned by John Hunyadi in 1446, its imposing structure boasts dual defensive walls, soaring towers, a spacious courtyard, and intricately carved balconies. In the 1600s, the addition of the White Tower and Artillery Tower enhanced both its grandeur and fortification.

Sibiu

Once the bustling heart of Transylvanian Saxon life, Sibiu was named European Capital of Culture in 2007. The medieval Old Town, with its pastel façades, cobblestone alleys, and fortified walls, evokes a Germanic feel reminiscent of Sighișoara and Brașov. Key attractions include the iconic Bridge of Lies, the Great Square, and Little Square.

Făgăraș Citadel

Originally built atop a 12th-century wooden fort, Făgăraș Citadel evolved into a formidable stone fortress by the 15th century. Featuring 85 rooms, a notorious torture chamber, and a hidden tunnel discovered during restoration, it now hosts the Museum of Făgăraș County. Its storied past includes haunting legends of underground burials within its ramparts.

Curtea de Argeș Monastery

This early-16th-century Orthodox cathedral is a rare architectural masterpiece combining Byzantine and Moorish styles. The church is immortalized by the myth of Master Manole, who immured his wife to ensure its durability. The monastery serves as a royal burial site, anchoring its spiritual and historical significance.

Bran Castle

Set high on a cliff along the historical border between Transylvania and Wallachia, Bran Castle is steeped in Dracula lore. While originally built by Saxon knights in 1377, it later became Queen Marie’s gift from the people of Brașov. Today it operates as a museum showcasing royal memorabilia, furniture, and art.

Peleș Castle

Nestled in Sinaia, Peleș Castle is a Bavarian-inspired jewel commissioned by King Carol I in 1873. The summer residence dazzles with rich neo-Renaissance interiors, themed rooms, and a pioneering design—it was the first European castle fully powered by electricity. Visitors marvel at its ornate stables, hunting lodge, and guards’ quarters.
