★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 116 reviews · 6 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $126Our pick

Leave Brasov at 8:30 am for a private, guided hike in Piatra Craiului National Park. Choose a gentler or tougher route based on weather and fitness. Expect gorges, forests, pastures, mountain views, and perhaps a sheep farm or Bran Castle. Guides such as Bogdan, Marian, Andreea, and Cristian tailor the day to your group.

“We had such an amazing time on this beautiful hike. Would definitely recommend it to those looking to escape the city for a day and get outdoors. Our guide Cristian was very informative and funny! We opted for the more difficult route and it was the perfect level of challenge! Beautiful place!”

Hike to Poenari Fortress, Vidraru Dam, Argeș Monastery – Private

3.Hike to Poenari Fortress, Vidraru Dam, Argeș Monastery – Private

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 26 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $167

Travel privately from Bucharest to three major sights in the Argeș Valley: Curtea de Argeș Monastery, Poenari Fortress, and Vidraru Dam. Your English-speaking guide handles the driving and can add mountain stops. Expect a long day, 1480 fortress steps, a 30 RON entrance fee, and possible bear sightings on mountain roads.

“This tour wasn’t part of our original plan, but with almost everything closed in Bucharest for Easter, we decided to book it last minute – and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. The nature was absolutely stunning, and spotting the bears was an unforgettable experience! Even though the Poenari Fortress was closed, our guide adjusted the route, taking us into the mountains instead, where we enjoyed some beautiful views. It felt like a real adventure, and we came back with amazing photos and memories.”

Sibiu: Cindrel Mountains Hike with Traditional Brunch

4.Sibiu: Cindrel Mountains Hike with Traditional Brunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 22 reviews · 5.5 hours · from $68Cheapest way up

Leave Sibiu for a guided 4 to 5 hour hike in the Cindrel Mountains with local guide Alex. Walk through forests and meadows, hear local stories and legends, then stop at MGS Cabin for an optional Transylvanian brunch of cheese, sausage, bread, jam, and soup. Transport, a small group, and palinka are included.

“La excursión estuvo bien organizada y el entorno es precioso. Sin embargo, creemos importante comentar que no se trata de un simple paseo. El recorrido fue más exigente físicamente de lo que esperábamos, con tramos que requieren buena forma, calzado de montaña e incluso palos para mayor seguridad. Pensamos que sería útil que en la descripción se especificara mejor la dificultad para que cada persona pueda valorar si es adecuada para ella.”
