One day tour where you can admire the beautiful highlights of Brasov and Sighisoara. First stop will be made to "Black Church"- Brasov one of the beautiful cultural monuments of our country; it dominates the medieval building in the center of the town- got this name after the great fire in 1689. The smoke and the fire could not destroy the magnifience of the old buildings.


The Black Church with a lenght of 89 m is the largest church between Viena- Constantinopole. It was built between years 1384-1477.


We'll leave Brasov for Sighisoara town- the Transylvania's Pearl. In Eastern Europe, Sighisoara is one of the few and in Romania the only fortified town which is still inhabitated. First mention in documents of the town was made as early as 1280.

In the center of Sighisoara one enters the citadel through the 60 m tall clock tower which dates from the 14th century. The clock still works, complete with rotating painted wooden figures, one for each day of the week. Opposite the clock tower is a small house where the father of Vlad Tepes- better known as Dracula- once lived. Now the house is a nice restaurant where you can serve your lunch.
