Day trips & short breaks in Romania

Already in Romania, or arriving soon? Tell us where you are staying and we’ll plan a day trip or a two-to-four-day break with a driver-guide.

A day out, planned properly

You have a free day in Bucharest, or a few nights in Brașov, and Romania is right outside the window. We can plan a private day trip or a short break around your hotel, your pace and what you love – with a driver-guide, so you simply enjoy it.

The ideas below are starting points. Tell us your date and where you are staying, and we’ll confirm what is possible, how long it takes and the price.

From Bucharest

  • Sinaia & Peleș Castle – the royal mountain resort in the Prahova Valley
  • Bran & Brașov – a long day for the castle and the old town
  • Dealu Mare wine country – vineyards and tastings, relatively close to the city

From Brașov

  • Bran & Râșnov – castle and hilltop citadel
  • Saxon villages & Viscri – fortified churches and quiet village streets
  • Sighișoara – the lived-in medieval citadel

From Sibiu

  • Saxon villages around Sibiu
  • Mărginimea Sibiului – shepherd villages and local food
  • The Transfăgărășan – in season only, usually summer to early autumn

From Cluj-Napoca

  • Turda Salt Mine and Turda Gorge
  • The Apuseni Mountains – villages, caves and forests

Short breaks (2–4 days)

Combine two or three of the ideas above with a night or two in a guesthouse or a boutique hotel – for example Brașov with the Saxon villages, or Sibiu with the mountain villages.
