This immersive tour is meticulously crafted to unveil the visual treasures of iconic cities like Brașov and Sibiu, alongside the serene beauty of traditional villages nestled in the Carpathian Mountains, such as Măgura, Peștera, Șirnea, and the medieval citadels of Sighișoara and Viscri. Prepare your camera to capture the soul of Transylvania, from its dramatic mountain vistas and charming rural life to its imposing fortified churches and UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Here, the interplay of light and shadow across rolling hills and traditional homesteads will be a photographer’s dream.
The journey continues to the UNESCO-protected gems of Sighișoara, a remarkably preserved medieval citadel, and the enchanting villages of Viscri and Biertan, home to extraordinary fortified churches that stand as testaments to centuries of history and cultural fusion. These architectural marvels, with their imposing walls and intricate details, offer unique photographic opportunities. Finally, we’ll explore the elegant city of Sibiu, with its grand squares, historic buildings, and vibrant cultural scene, providing a contrasting yet equally compelling visual narrative of Transylvania’s rich heritage.
