Day Trip to Sibiu Transylvania from Bucharest

Summary

Your tour begins with pickup from your Bucharest hotel, where you’ll board a minivan destined for the Olt River Valley. After your drive, reach the natural splendors of the valley, home to the Cozia Monastery. Built in 1388 by the grandfather of Vlad the Impaler, the monastery is an interesting historical landmark: stop here for a short while to explore the building.
