Detailed itinerary
1
The fortified church from Biertan is one of the largest in the region. The 15th-century Gothic monument has a unique door with a complex locking system, a church organ with almost 1,300 pipes and, last but not least, a marital room where couples were locked back in the day until solving their problems.

Sighisoara is one of the few medieval towns in the world still inhabited. You'll walk on its narrow and colorful streets, visiting Gothic style churches and centuries-old towers that were once in the first line against enemy troupes.
The walking tour takes place in the Upper Town, included entirely in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Romania.

The most famous of all the fortified churches from Transylvania, the monument from Viscri is also one of the oldest in the region. This splendid white church is located on a small hill in a village that preserves perfectly its distinct cultural heritage.
