What you'll see and do
Castelul Corvinilor
A fairytale castle for some, a Gothic masterpiece for others and even a haunted-looking place with great backgrounds for Hollywood movies, Corvin Castle is simply the most impressive castle in Transylvania. While many chase the ghost of fictional characters at Bran Castle, we recommend instead you add Corvin Castle to your list of the best places to see in Romania. The construction and expansion of the castle took place in several phases starting with 1440 when Ioan of Hunedoara considerably enlarged the existing 14th-century fortress. The castle was the witness not only of his accomplishments, but also of his ambitions, becoming until the death of its owner, one of the finest in Europe of the time. In the first stage, the old fortification was surrounded with two strong curtain walls and rectangular and circular towers were added, most of them — the Old and the New Gate Towers, Capistrano Tower and the Painted Tower — standing until today. A second stage began after Ioan of Hunedoara became the regent of Hungary, the castle becoming the reflection of the great political role obtained. The Knights’ Hall and the Council’s Hall are the masterpieces of the time, both of them being unique in Transylvania. After his death, it’s his son, Matia Corvin, the greatest king of Hungary, who continued the expansion of the castle. He added the loggia Matia that still conserves the only secular painting from Transylvania’s 15th century. Prince Gabriel Bethlen brought many changes to the architecture of the castle in the 17th century, including building new towers fit for artillery fights. However, Corvin Castle was gradually abandoned afterward. Ample restorations started only two centuries later, but the process was long and challenging, often destroying more than repairing. It’s the work carried on in the 20th century that brought back to light the original architecture of the medieval construction.

The Lower Town of Sibiu (Orasul de Jos)
Sibiu (Hermannstadt in German) was the largest and wealthiest of the seven walled citadels built in the 12th century by German settlers known as Transylvanian Saxons. The riches amassed by its guilds paid for the construction of both impressive buildings and the fortifications required to protect them. We will take a tour of the old city center and visit: The Large Squere ,the Catholic Church , the Small Squer,the Evangelical Church , the Huet Squer , the Bridge of Lies , the Council Tower .

Best sightseeing guide in Brasov
Traian was our tour guide for our second day in Brasov. He gave us a tour of all the unesco sites and Dracula's place in Sighisoara. Our first day was a tour of the 3 castles including Bran castle with the same company, along with Traian employees, Daria and Claudio acting as our driver and guide. All in all, Traian's group is very professional, on time for pick up, knowledgeable in both history and current affairs. Our rides to all the sites were in very comfortable air conditioned vans. Our questions were clearly answered, they even suggested places to eat that turned out to be good choices for all 4 of us. I would definitely recommend this group for everyone coming to Brasov Romania.

Amazing tour and amazing guide
Touring with Traian was so much fun and flexible. He is very knowledgeable and funny! Traian was up for anything, especially guiding us very late in the day. We met at roughly 7.30am in the morning and he dropped us off at around 11.30pm. We did all three - Sibiu, CORVIN Castle and Sighisoara. We were so happy to have Traian be our guide. We hope to work with him again soon.

Corvinilor Castle and Sibiu optional Sighisoara from Brasov
Urso (you can call him Bear) was one of most delightful storytellers we had the pleasure of being guided by on this tour. His zest for life, his love of nature and his country and the gratitude for his lifetime experiences that brings him to the present is refreshing, enjoyable and adds greatly to the joy we experienced on this tour. We highly recommend booking a tour with Discovery Transylvania when visiting Brasov.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the review. The guide is truly passionate about history, nature, and culture. I'm glad he managed to give you a wonderful day on this tour. Best regards Traian B

Corvinilor Castle and Sibiu optional Sighisoara from Brasov: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Brasov.
How much does Corvinilor Castle and Sibiu optional Sighisoara from Brasov cost?
+
Prices start at $331 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Brasov usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Corvinilor Castle and Sibiu optional Sighisoara from Brasov take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Brasov is not rushed.
Is Corvinilor Castle and Sibiu optional Sighisoara from Brasov worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Brasov, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Corvinilor Castle and Sibiu optional Sighisoara from Brasov?
+

Is Corvinilor Castle and Sibiu optional Sighisoara from Brasov suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Corvinilor Castle and Sibiu optional Sighisoara from Brasov?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Brasov can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Brasov and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Corvinilor Castle and Sibiu optional Sighisoara from Brasov start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Brasov within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Brasov?
+

When is the best time to visit Brasov?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Brasov?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
