In the afternoon arrival in the city of Sibiu. It is an important economic and cultural center of Transylvania. The Cibin River, a tributary of the Olt, flows through the city. It was founded by Saxon settlers in the 12th century, who gave it the name Hermannstadt. Consequently, part of its architecture is Germanic.

Full board. Departure to Sighisoara, another of the towns founded in the 12th century by the Saxons coming from Germany during the High Middle Ages. Sighisoara is one of the best preserved medieval towns in Europe, which made UNESCO to include it in its World Heritage List in 1999. In addition to its old town, full of houses, towers, remains of medieval walls and churches, Sighisoara is famous for being the birthplace of Vlad Dracula (Vlad Tepes), known for his terrible violence and for being the basis of the myth of Dracula.

This square is a beautiful place to sit in any cafe or terrace to enjoy the medieval atmosphere and the view of the tower of the old town hall (Sfatului House, from 1420), an outstanding building of Saxon architecture, which houses the Brasov History Museum. One of the most remarkable monuments is the Black Church, the largest Gothic church in Romania. It was built between 1383 and 1477, and largely destroyed after the first Turkish invasion in 1421, and the name it has today is due to a fire that took place in 1689 that left the walls blackened.
