Day 01

Arrival in Sibiel and Painted Glass Icons Museum

Soon after you arrive at the airport, get transferred to the rural area of Sibiel, a delightful place at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains. Sibiel is a unique place where traditions have not changed, and locals wear peasant clothes created by their own hands. After reaching your accommodation - a boarding house in the center of the village - we will visit the Museum of Painted Glass Icons, the largest of its kind in Romania. Overnight stay in Sibiel.

Day 02

Biertan Fortified Church and Sighișoara

On our second day, we'll delve into the medieval history of Transylvania. First, we'll visit the Fortified Church of Biertan, a place of worship, refuge, and prison all at once. Then we'll take a stroll along the winding cobbled streets of picturesque Sighișoara, up to the Clock Tower. In the evening, your hosts will organize a party including meals, music, and Romanian traditional folk dances. Overnight stay in Sibiel.

Day 03

Horse Cart Ride through the Carpathian Forests

After breakfast, go for a ride in a cart pulled by horses, a means of transport traditionally used in the Romanian countryside. Our beautiful journey will take us through the Carpathian forests, and we'll pause for a picnic in a meadow offering a panoramic view of the surrounding villages. All products served are organic, resulting from a natural process that has remained largely unaltered for decades. Overnight stay in Sibiel.

Day 04

Alba Carolina Fortress and Câlnic Fortress

We leave the busy morning atmosphere behind and head to the Alba Carolina Fortress, the largest fortress in Romania, whose history begins with the Roman Empire and continues to this day. Our next tourist sight is Câlnic Fortress, a monument listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, an ancient noble's dungeon turned into a fortress. Overnight stay in Sibiel.

Day 05

Glass Painting Workshop and Traditional Wedding

For a truly authentic local experience, your vacation in Transylvania should include demonstrations by local artisans. Your morning begins with a glass painting workshop, using unique techniques perfected over the years by craftsmen in the area. In the afternoon, we're invited to a traditional Romanian wedding. Dressed in traditional folk costumes, the wedding guests go to the bride's and groom's houses, accompanied by musicians and a cheerful crowd. The evening continues with the wedding party, where you'll enjoy traditional foods and beverages. This event is organized only for groups exceeding 15 people. Overnight stay in Sibiel.
