The Paris of Central Europe, Budapest is the Queen of the Danube, a sprawling, regal city split in two halves by the mighty river. The city’s two UNESCO-listed halves, ancient Buda and modern Pest both have their charms and are linked by numerous picturesque bridges. From the Buda Castle to the Danube Embankment and the sprawling Andrassy Avenue, with its impressive architecture, there is plenty to keep you busy here, exploring and discovering this atmospheric city. It’s a little too big to explore only on foot, but the Pest side of the city is well laid out with broad avenues of the Parisian system, so it’s hard to get lost, and the public transportation, including the world's second oldest subway system, works well. Budapest has all the charm of Western Europe at a fraction of the price. Here you can taste excellent wines produced throughout the region, and even enjoy Michelin-star dining in various locations. We can offer you more than enough exciting activities in the city, from a visit to the incredible Parliament building to a boat cruise with dinner, or an exploration of Budapest’s communist past. The city also has a rich Jewish heritage, so you’ll find the perfect balance of history and modern culture here. Voted Best City in Europe in 2013 by Condé Nast Traveler readers and a regular in their top 3, Budapest really is a special city with activities to cater to every interest.

1 Night in Cluj
1 Night in Cluj
Cluj-Napoca is the spiritual and economic capital of Transylvania, but has a youthful side thanks to its many students and artists ("Napoca" is the city's Roman name, which was added to the city's official name in the 1970s). The heart of multiculturalism and diversity, Cluj may be Romania's second largest city, but does not have a big-city feeling. This vibrant place is a great experience for those who want to see urban Transylvanian life at its best. Be sure to visit the extraordinary Turda salt mine, and some of the city's unusually themed cafes and restaurants, such as the steampunk eatery stuffed with kinetic sculptures. With a mix of medieval landmarks, architectural jewels, trendy culinary and cultural hotspots, Cluj is a laid-back city where people enjoy life at a slower pace than in Bucharest.

An Unusual First Night
For your first night in Cluj, we suggest walkung from Avram Iancu’s Statue towards St. Michael's Cathedral, on Iuliu Maniu Street. Halfway through, make a short coffee/cocktail stop at Enigma, a kinetic steampunk pub. There you'll find giant moving clocks, rotating wheels and sculptures, metallic flowers opening up on the ceiling, a live moving bird, and even robot waiters. Next, resume your stroll until you reach the cathedral, then walk a few minutes more towards the Franciscan Temple. Just behind the temple, enter the Klausen Burger rooftop bar, where you can enjoy dinner and great craft beers from a local microbrewery, plus some of the most amazing panoramic views of Cluj. If you don’t fancy rooftop bars, then visit the themed bars in front of the Temple, especially Hemingway, The Soviet, or Bruno Wine Bar.
Day 8
Day 8 - Traveling to Sibiu by Private Transfer
Get to Know Cluj-Napoca on a Private Walking Tour
This tour gives you the opportunity to discover Cluj’s fascinating architectural and cultural history and its best-known attractions.

The walk will include both famous sites but also some off-the-beaten places, for a well-balanced experience.
Today you'll travel to the charming city of Sibiu. On the way, you will visit the Turda Salt Mine, which is a unique experience you will enjoy. With over 2000 years of history and with highly preserved mining galleries & excavating tools, Salina Turda represents today one of the largest salt mine museums in the world. Currently, the site is a large underground wonderland with an amusement park nestled 120 meters below ground.

The transfer with a stop at Turda Salt Mine takes about 5 hours. This is a non-guided transfer. The vehicle used for your transfer will be a standard sedan, station wagon, or minivan.

We invite you to join us and discover an amazing town with so many stories! Walking through Sibiu is like walking through a fairytale, or perhaps a medieval movie set. From the 16th century Bridge of Lies to the 15th century towers, you’ll find something romantically ancient at every turn. But that doesn’t mean the city is frozen in time, there’s also a rich cultural life here to match the incredible architecture. You’ll have a fantastic time watching history come alive in Sibiu, even as you experience its more contemporary charms. This is a city of firsts: where the first book in Romanian was printed, where Romania’s first hospital and pharmacy were opened, and also where the country’s oldest museum is housed, the Brukenthal Art museum. You’ll be charmed by this mix of old and new. You’ll certainly want to meet with our local guide, who can give you a closer look at all the most amazing sites in the city, including the main square, one of the best-preserved in Transylvania.

The Jidvei Vineyard in the nearby Tarnave Valley is the perfect place to enjoy a tasting of some of excellent Romanian wines and snacks. Calnic, Sebes and Alba Iulia Citadel are also nearby sites that are certainly worth visiting, and will show you a different side of this enchanting region.

Sibiu Private Walking & Corvin Castle Tour
Take a walking tour in Sibiu, a multicultural gem of Romania and a place where for 800 hundred years Romanians, Hungarians and Saxons lived together. The highly preserved and restored Old Town looks like medieval Vienna but with unique Latin and Magyar influences. For the second part of the tour your guide will drive you to Corvin – the castle of the Ravens.

Day 10
Day 10 - Traveling to Brasov by Private Car
A private driver will pick you up from your accommodations to drive you to Brasov, the gateway to Transylvania. Without stops, the drive should take about 3 hours, but you will have a 2 hours stop in Sighisoara, one of the best-preserved medieval citadels in Europe, UNESCO Heritage. As the birthplace of Dracula, there are plenty of Vlad-themed attractions but in our opinion, the highlights are the citadel and the Clock Tower. A guided tour inside the citadel can be added for an extra fee. The transfer takes about 6 hours including the stop in Sighisoara.

Enjoy a private tour at a 160 acre park near Brasov, an oak and hazel forest inhabited by over 100 rehabilitated bears rescued from zoos, circuses, and private owners from around the world. This is a unique place: the walk in the nature, the landscape and the chance to see adorable bears from observation points may turn this tour into one of your trip's highlights, while your money will go to a good cause, as the sanctuary has been internationally recognized for its practices.

2 Nights in Bucharest
The capital of Romania, Bucharest is a truly intriguing city where modern sophistication meets a rich and varied history. The business center of the city definitely has a cosmopolitan feel, but farther afield Bucharest still feels a little rough around the edges. The restored Old Town with its resplendent buildings is simply magnificent, as is Nicolae Ceausescu’s Palace of Parliament. One of the world's largest buildings (and with all its marble, certainly the heaviest), we highly recommend a tour of its gilded interior. This "Paris of the East" also has some amazing cafes and delicious restaurants, especially near Lipscani Street. The city is no stranger to culture either, with numerous galleries, antique shops and concert halls. The most stunning landmarks are along Calea Victoriei, but you can see something impressive on just about every corner. After discovering the incredible variety of neighborhoods and architectural styles in the city, you might want to enjoy one of its cultural festivals, or take off for a unique day trip. If you’re ready for a full day, a trip to Transylvania including Peles Castle and Dracula’s Castle, will certainly be a memorable excursion, and very Romanian. We can also arrange for a private guide to show you around the city and the notable surroundings.

Day 12 - Arrival in Bucharest
Welcome to Bucharest! Our driver will take you to your centrally located accommodation.
Dine and Drink on Your First Night
For your first night, it’s best to start with a short walk in the Old Town area to see a glimpse of how Bucharest looked and felt at its zenith, specifically during the 19th century when it was nicknamed the “Paris of the East”. Seek out a traditional dinner at one of the city’s historical Old Town restaurants: Manuc Inn, Hanul Berarilor or Caru cu Bere. Make sure you don’t miss the bean soup in a bread bowl, cabbage rolls, or pork stew. Save some room for dessert: the best option is Papanasi, a pastry shaped like a doughnut with a small sphere on top, filled with soft cheese, and covered in sour cream and sour jam. After dinner, you should definitely enjoy a glass of Romanian wine at one of the many rooftop bars located in the Old Town: Linea Closer to the Moon, Nomad SkyBar, or Pura Vida SkyBar. You’re in a Latin country, so get out there and enjoy the cheerful and happy vibe!
Day 13
Day 13 - Your First Full Day in Bucharest
The Little Paris
Bucharest is an eclectic city, a place of business, parties, arts, and contrasts. Nearly half a century of communist rule dramatically changed some aspects of the city, but traces of the old bohemian times can still be found. Discover the highlights of Bucharest on an amazing half-day guided tour, and marvel at the monuments of the historic city center. Some highlights of the tour include: the Romanian Athenaeum, Revolution Square, Old City with its beautiful 19th century buildings, and the Old Court from the times of Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration for Dracula. The tour will end with a visit inside the monumental Palace of Parliament, one of the world's largest buildings (and certainly the heaviest).
Taste Romania’s Food and Wine with an Expert
Discover Romania’s super-tasty cuisine with one of our expert tour guides. You can take a slow walk through central Bucharest's boulevards and charming side streets to enjoy traditional food, pastries, and desserts while learning the stories behind them. If you prefer a more leisurely tour, you can join the Traditions in Bucharest tour, where you’ll have the chance to taste several types of traditional wines along with a cheese platter after a tour at the outdoor Village Museum.
