Embark on a captivating tour from Cluj to explore Transylvania’s hidden gems. Start with an early pick-up from Cluj city center and a scenic drive to Medias, where you’ll discover the 15th-century Citadel of Light and its bohemian atmosphere on a short walking tour.

Next, marvel at the enchanting Biertan Fortified Church, a fantasy novel-worthy site boasting 15th-century walls and an intricate 19-lock front door.
