So, what do YOU want to do and experience in Romania?
Our favourite Summer tours:
Under the current COVID-19 situation Romania is in a lockdown until 15 May. Hotels, restaurants and tourist sights are closed while public activities and travel is prohibited. But we're hopeful these restrictions will be eased over the Summer and we look forward to welcoming you on our tours!
And what better way to recover after a long period of staying at home than to go out in Nature? :)
1. Get out of Sibiu and go on a hiking day trip to visit a sheepfold and enjoy a traditional lunch!
2. A hiking trip from Timisoara to the magical Ochiul Beiului Lake: beautiful nature, peace & quiet, no crowds! YES PLEASE :)
3. if you're in Brasov go on an easy hiking trip to visit traditional villages, admire beautiful views and enjoy a typical lunch!
4. Bucharest is nice but 2h away the spectacular Ciucas Mts are waiting for you to explore them!
5. There's a part of Apuseni Natural Park close to Cluj-Napoca renowned for its picturesque beauty. Go see it on a hiking trip!
If you need help with planning your trip send us a message or create your custom tour - we're happy to help!
