This full-day tour in Transylvania offers a perfect mix of history, myths, and medieval stories about some of Romania’s most famous tourist spots. Departing from Sibiu town in the morning, the first significant stop is the archaeological site of Sarmizegetusa Ulpia Traiana, the former capital of the Dacia State. The UNESCO-listed Sarmizegetusa Fortress provides insight into the origins of Romanians before the Roman conquest. A highlight of this visit is the sacred area where human sacrifices were performed.

The tour continues with a fascinating visit to the medieval castle of the Hunyadi Family. Hunyadi Castle was the residence of the courageous Transylvanian Governor, John of Hunyadi, who bequeathed this castle to his son, Mathias Corvinus. Built in the 15th century, it is the largest medieval castle in Romania and is also considered one of the most haunted places in the world.

The castle showcases various architectural styles due to the inclusion of some military innovations. It was designed to be not only a luxurious residence during John Hunyadi’s rule but also a strategic point for defending the region against various attacks.

The next major stop on the tour is Alba Iulia Fortress. With origins dating back to the 2nd century Roman era, the city of Alba Iulia offers a journey through Transylvania’s history from ancient times to medieval and modern days. Visitors will explore the ruins of the Roman town, the medieval fortifications, the modern Vauban-style fortifications, the Catholic Cathedral – the oldest in Transylvania, and the Reunion Cathedral, which commemorates the unification of all Romanian provinces into a single country.
