Romania in a Week: Castles, Carpathians & Painted Monasteries
From Bucharest to Transylvania, enjoy standout sights with a pace that fits 7-10 days.
Romania suits a 7-10 day trip, giving you enough time for cities, mountain scenery and storybook towns without having to race from one highlight to the next. Many trips begin in Bucharest before heading into Transylvania, where castles, fortified churches and historic centres still feel genuinely lived in rather than staged for visitors. Trip styles range from tours with a leader throughout to itineraries that include guided visits in key places and more independent time between stops. Some tours also combine Romania with nearby countries such as Albania, Bosnia And Herzegovina and Bulgaria, while Romania remains a central part of the overall route.
