Sighisoara - Marienburg - Viscri Trip from Brasov
On this private tour, you can explore and enjoy, without hurry, the medieval citadels, see the rural real life of Transylvania, eat traditional food. You will learn the Saxon people history, the famous Vlad Dracula story, what is real and what is story and other more.
During this tour with the departure from Brașov and arrival in Brașov, I suggest other attractions that can be visited, between Brașov and Sighisoara if not as famous as the first ones, at least as interesting and amazing.
In contrast to the crowded castles near Brasov, this tour is more relaxed and free.

What's included in Sighisoara - Marienburg - Viscri Trip from Brasov
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Feldioara Fortress
Marienburg fortress – Feldioara in Romanian and Földvár in Hungarian – situated at 20 kilometers from Brașov on the way to Sighisoara was built at the beginning of the 13th century by the Teutonic knights being used as their headquarter in Transylvania. During the centuries it was partially destroyed and then reconstructed many times. The last restoration was achieved between 2013 and 2017, in this way the fortress being saved from a slow but sure destruction.
Cetatea RupeaPass-by Only
Rupea Fortress, at about half the distance between Brașov and Sighisoara was built and expanded by the Saxons, between the 14th and the 17th centuries, on the Cohalm hill (the name coming from the volcanic rock called “Cohalm” of which the hill is made up). It was built for defence and refugee in case the enemies’ attacks. The fortress was renovated between 2010-2012 and it is an imposing presence on the national road.
Viscri Fortified Church
The village of Viscri, included too in the UNESCO heritage is situated in a remote place, about 5 kilometers from the national road. One of the first churches built by the ethnic Saxons at the beginning of the 13th century based on a romantic basilica from the 12th century can be found here too. The village became famous especially after Prince Charles, the heir to the British crown, bought a traditional house here and by means of a foundation he helped the correct restoring and saving, historically speaking, of many houses which were in a severe degradation.
