Hey all,
I’m planning a solo 7 night trip to Romania at the end of the month and was hoping to get some advice on the best way to plan this out.
Main things I want to see are Penes castle, the bear sanctuary, bran castle, black church, visit Sibiu and see bridge of lies, corvins castle, citadel park, fortress calnic/large square.
Finally I’d really love to see the salt mines in salina turda.
I would be travelling purely by trains or public transport on this trip. Don’t plan on renting a car.
Basic rough itinerary so far
Day 1 - arrive in Bucharest around mid day and explore old town and then get some food.
Day 2 - take an early morning train to Brasov visit penes castle and the bear sanctuary depending on time.
Day 3 - visit Bran castle and the black church.
Day 4 - spend another day in Brasov im open to suggestions on other thing’s to see.
Day 5 - travel to Sibiu and spend the full day there.
Day 6/7 - travel to Cluj, depending on the time I arrive either visit the salt mines or explore around Cluj and then I will visit the salt mines on my last day on day 7 before travelling home.
I’m definitely flexible and open to changing my itinerary so any advice or suggestions are much appreciated.
Thank you
