Optional Sights to Visit on This Trip
Fortress of Deva
Perched atop a volcanic hill, the Deva Fortress offers a panoramic view of the Mureș Valley. Originally built in the 13th century, the site reveals evidence of habitation dating back to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. For centuries, it played a key defensive role in guarding the entrance to Transylvania.
Corvin Castle
One of Europe’s largest and most spectacular castles, Corvin Castle (also known as Hunyadi Castle) is a Gothic-Renaissance fortress brimming with legends and history. Built in 1446, the castle boasts towering spires, an inner courtyard, and richly decorated balconies. It also features a torture chamber, drawbridge, and secret tunnels that add to its medieval allure.
Alba Iulia Citadel
This Vauban-style star fortress was constructed in the early 18th century during Habsburg rule. Built on the site of a Roman castrum and a medieval citadel, Alba Carolina is a masterpiece of military architecture. Today, it hosts museums, ceremonial guards, and walking tours that immerse visitors in Romanian history.
Sibiu
A cultural gem of Transylvania, Sibiu blends Germanic architecture, cobbled streets, and colorful squares. Its well-preserved medieval core and fortified churches reflect its Saxon roots. Recognized as a European Capital of Culture in 2007, the city’s charm lies in its Great and Small Squares, and in the iconic Bridge of Lies.
Făgăraș Citadel
This fortress has stood strong since the early 14th century. Expanded over three centuries, Făgăraș Citadel now features 85 rooms including a museum and a chilling torture chamber. Excavations unearthed a grim truth: criminals and traitors were once entombed in the fortress walls. It remains one of the best-preserved castles in Romania.
Curtea de Argeș Monastery
This legendary cathedral, built in the 16th century, is a marvel of Byzantine and Moorish-inspired architecture. It’s also home to Romania’s most haunting legend: Master Manole’s sacrifice of his wife, Ana, to ensure the church's foundation held firm. Today, the monastery stands as a spiritual and artistic symbol.
Bran Castle
Known worldwide as “Dracula’s Castle,” Bran is as captivating as the myths that surround it. Originally built by Teutonic Knights in 1212, and later a royal residence, the castle features imposing towers and a dramatic cliffside setting. Inside, it showcases Queen Marie’s private art and furniture collections.
Peleș Castle
Nestled in the Carpathian Mountains, Peleș Castle is a neo-Renaissance masterpiece and former royal summer retreat. Built by King Carol I in 1873, it was the first castle in the world fully powered by electricity. Its 160 rooms display a dazzling variety of European decorative styles and priceless collections.
