Activity itinerary

Salina Turda

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
Begin your adventure with a journey from Cluj to the Turda Salt Mine, one of the most spectacular underground destinations in Romania. Descend 100 meters into the earth to explore the vast Franz Joseph Gallery and the awe-inspiring Rudolf and Terezia mines. Your expert guide will reveal the millennia-old history of Transylvanian salt mining, from ancient manual extraction to its modern-day use as a stunning tourist attraction. Marvel at the giant salt stalactites and "bell" caverns before enjoying free time to explore at your own pace. You can admire the unique salt formations or opt for a peaceful boat ride on the subterranean salt lake.

Centrul Istoric Sighisoara

  • 3h
  • Admission ticket not included
Our second stop is the remarkably preserved medieval fortress of Sighisoara, one of the few still inhabited in Europe. Enclosed by nine of its original fourteen defence towers, the fortress boasts stunning medieval architecture and captivating legends, including tales of Vlad the Impaler, the historical figure behind the Dracula myth. We'll climb the Covered Staircase to the Church on the Hill (optional visit), wander through colourful medieval streets, and, if you wish, ascend the iconic Clock Tower (optional visit - closed on Mondays) for breath-taking panoramic views—just as medieval guards once did. Note: Instead of the inside visits you can opt for free time.
