About the trip

This nine-night tour stretches from Budapest to Sofia with detours through Romania and Bulgaria. The trip begins with an orientation walk in Budapest, a city scattered with cafés where locals debate over strong black coffee. Then, the travel shifts to Romanian countryside, making time to visit the medieval neighbourhood of Sighișoara—known for its clock tower and links to Vlad the Impaler—and the baroque structures of Braşov, including Bran Castle often linked to the Dracula legend.

The route continues with stops in Bucharest for a gentle orientation and Arbanasi, a village noted for its rich historical churches. The journey concludes in Sofia, where the city’s namesake cathedral, St Alexander Nevsky, provides a reminder of the region's layered past. Transport involves local buses and walking, offering a slower pace that reveals the varying faces of Eastern Europe beyond capital cities. G Adventures leads this escorted tour, balancing group experiences with chances to absorb the local flavour at markets, vineyards and quieter corners.
