Walking Holidays in Romania

Showing 2 out of 341 trips

Arguably the most famous region of Romania, Transylvania has long been associated with Bram Stoker's Dracula, but there's much more to know about this fascinating place. Embark on the adventure of a lifetime in Romania and uncover the natural beauty and Baroque and Gothic architecture that pierces the skyline.

Our walking holidays in Romania take in the extraordinary sights of Transylvania and the Carpathian Mountains. This spectacular mountain range cuts through Romania and is home to some of the wildest trails in Europe. Wild forests, ancient fortresses, timeless villages and soaring peaks come together in a visual symphony that will undoubtedly astound you..

Where can I go on a walking holiday in Romania?

Owing to its medieval castles, enchanting scenery and fascinating history, Transylvania is steeped in folk legends and has been the inspiration for fairy tales for centuries. During our self-guided Transylvanian Castles walking holiday in Romania, travellers journey along the Bucegi Plateau. Enveloped by the Bucegi Mountains, this is one of the best viewpoints for experiencing the magnificent scenery. Shrouded in mystery, Bucegi plays host to impressive monuments that have been shaped by the elements, with the Sphinx being the most recognisable.

Not only will you witness some of the country's most mind-blowing scenery on our walking holidays in Romania but you will also stay in stunning accommodation at each destination, with sumptuous breakfast and delicious evening meals included.

Below is a selection of some of the highlights you will be blown away by on our Transylvanian Castles walking tour in Romania:

  • Bran Castle: No trip to Romania would be complete without a tour of Transylvania's most iconic landmark, Bran Castle, styled as the home of the fictional Count Dracula.

  • Brasov: Spend the day exploring this evocative medieval city, wandering around the historic old town and paying a visit to the famous Black Church.

  • Piatra Craiului National Park: Make your way through deep, ancient forests and valleys, taking in superb views as you walk along the impressive Zarnesti gorge.
