Romania Land Tour
Your journey begins in Bucharest before venturing into Transylvania. Visit Peles Castle in the early morning to beat the crowds and get the best photos of its German Renaissance architecture. Explore Brasov's medieval Old Town and take the cable car up Tampa Mountain for great views. A good tip is to visit Bran Castle in the late afternoon when there are fewer tourists and the sunset creates beautiful photos of the famous "Dracula's Castle."
- Days 6-8
Black Sea Coast & Bulgaria
Start your river cruise in Constanta, Romania's Black Sea port. Take the 3-hour morning walking tour to see the main sites and make time for the Roman mosaics museum. In Bulgaria's Silistra, take the walking tour to the fortress. The uphill walk takes some effort but the river views make it worthwhile. Bring good shoes since the old stone paths can be slippery.
- Days 9-11
Bulgaria & Serbia
Visit Rousse in Bulgaria, nicknamed "Little Vienna." The morning architecture tour shows off the city's beautiful Belle Époque buildings. One traveler noted, "The preserved 19th-century merchant houses are incredible - don't miss the ornate Neo-Baroque Dohodno Zdanie." When you cruise through the Iron Gates gorge between Serbia and Romania, get to the Sun Deck early. You'll see the best views of the Decebalus rock carving between 9-10am.
- Days 12-14
Serbia & Croatia
Spend a full day in Belgrade. Try the morning bike ride along the Danube and visit Kalemegdan Fortress later when it's cooler. In Novi Sad, climb up to Petrovaradin Fortress to watch the sunset over the Danube. Bring a small flashlight for the dark fortress tunnels. In Croatia, Osijek shows some remains of the 1990s war but has a beautiful restored Baroque center.
- Days 15-17
Hungary
The Hungarian part starts in Mohacs before reaching Kalocsa, known for its folk art and horse shows. In Budapest, get to the Széchenyi baths early at 6am to avoid crowds. A recent visitor said: "The outdoor pools at sunset are magical - go around 6pm when locals finish work and the atmosphere is wonderfully authentic."
- Days 18-22
Slovakia & Austria
Walk through Bratislava's Old Town starting at Michael's Gate and find the bronze statues along the cobblestone streets. Take the communist-era tour to learn about life during the Iron Curtain period. Your trip ends in Vienna with its beautiful architecture and coffee houses. Book your Mozart concert tickets early since shows at Musikverein often sell out weeks in advance.
- Days 1-2
Vienna
Begin in Austria's elegant capital. Head to Ringstrasse by 8:30 AM to avoid tour groups at the Opera House and St. Stephen's Cathedral. You'll get the best city views from the Belvedere Palace's upper gardens in late afternoon. Book your spot at traditional spots like Café Central well before 2 PM to secure a table.
- Days 3-4
Budapest to Bratislava
Take a 3-hour trip from Vienna to Budapest where the Chain Bridge links the hilly Buda side with flat Pest. Spend Day 4 in Bratislava seeing the mix of medieval Old Town and Communist-era architecture. A past visitor shared: "The guided Communist history tour was eye-opening. Our guide shared personal family stories that really brought that era to life."
