Day 3: The Danube Delta

Day 4: You'll see the muddy volcanoes, a curious place where the ground seems to boil with large bubbles, just like a genuine sci-fi landscape. At the end of the day we arrive in Brasov, one of the key destinations of Romanian tourism.

Day 5: There are tourist attractions accessible to everyone and those that can be considered surprising, only for connoisseurs. Today we’ll do a mix of the two: the most visited tourist attraction in Romania, Bran Castle, for Dracula fans (this is the place where the count created by Bram Stoker lived) and the bear reserve in Zărnesti, a wildlife sanctuary in the Carpathian Mountains.

Day 7: Sibiu is quite famed for its German influence and the rich cultural life, manifested mainly through outdoor theater shows.

Day 8: The country of Haţeg has plenty of legends about dragons, prehistoric dinosaur footprints being often encountered by locals. At dusk we’ll delve into the Corvin Castle to visit the cold, awe-inspiring Gothic halls lit by torchlight.

Day 9: Alba Iulia fortress has the shape of a six-pointed star. Sighisoara, with its beautiful, winding streets of cobblestone is the only European citadel where people have been living uninterruptedly since the Middle Ages.

Day 10: What you’re about to see today will certainly raise a few questions: at an altitude of over two thousand meters, there’s a rock chiseled by time and natural phenomena, with the shape of a human face. It has the dimensions of the Egyptian Sphinx, the similarities being striking, but it is much older.
