About the trip

Explore Worldwide’s small-group tour takes you from Bucharest to the remote corners of Romania, tracing a route through medieval towns and natural landscapes. After some free time in the capital, the tour travels to the Carpathians where the myths of Dracula are replaced by the better story of Queen Marie’s Bran Castle and an easy forest walk near Moieciu.

The journey continues to Transylvania’s historic towns such as Brasov and Sighisoara, birthplace of Vlad the Impaler, then on to the wooden churches and colourful gravestones of Maramures. A narrow gauge railway and mountain hikes reveal the more untouched side of the Carpathians before travel east to Bucovina’s monasteries, decorated inside and out with vivid frescoes.

After a few days exploring forests and villages, the trip winds down on a pontoon boat in the Danube Delta, where reed-lined channels and colonies of birds provide a quietly beautiful counterpoint to the road travel. You return to Bucharest for a final day sampling its varied architecture and the Village Museum, with time for a last look before the tour concludes after breakfast.
