Budapest is known as the “SPA capital” of Europe, thanks to the impressive number of thermal springs found throughout the city. Harnessed in the form of thermal baths, these healing waters have significantly contributed to the popularity of this destination. However, wellness centers are far from being the only major tourist attractions in Budapest.
With its immense tourism potential, Budapest has long been one of the most visited capitals in Eastern Europe. Charming historic buildings, fascinating museums, and enchanting parks are just a few of the highlights awaiting visitors in Hungary’s capital.
Buda Castle – the former Royal Palace of Hungary. Over the centuries, the castle has withstood many battles and undergone several reconstructions to reach its current form. Today, it houses the National Gallery, the History Museum, and the National Library. The splendid structure is the result of the creative genius of Jean Nicolas Jadot, a prominent architect at the Viennese court, who transformed the memory of old war-torn residences into a treasure for the people of Budapest. Although the initial plans were slightly modified, the main concept and lasting credit for this masterpiece remain attributed to the renowned architect.
Heroes’ Square (Hősök tere) – one of the most iconic landmarks that no visitor to Hungary’s capital should miss when exploring Pest, the eastern part of the city. In fact, it is almost impossible to overlook, as it stands alongside City Park and its attractions, including the Zoo, Vajdahunyad Castle, Vidám Park, the Széchenyi Baths, and the Ice Rink, as well as the Budapest Art Gallery and the Museum of Fine Arts. Heroes’ Square, together with Andrássy Avenue, is part of the UNESCO World Heritage.
Vienna
Elegant waltzes and Johann Strauss immediately come to mind when thinking of Vienna, the capital of Austria and its largest city. Yet Vienna offers much more: historic landmarks, imperial palaces, world-class museums, and a unique cultural atmosphere.
Most of the city’s major architectural attractions can be found along the famous Ringstrasse, a circular boulevard built where the old city walls once stood. Vienna’s architecture ranges from Gothic cathedrals to Art Nouveau exhibition halls, from Baroque palaces to modern art museums.
Among the most remarkable sights in Austria’s capital are Schönbrunn Palace – the imperial summer residence, boasting over 1,400 rooms, Kunsthistorisches Museum – one of the most important art museums in the world, Belvedere Palace – home to masterpieces by Gustav Klimt, including his world-famous painting The Kiss.

FAQ = Frequently asked questions
What is included in the price?
Details are presented for each excursion, in the "included activities" and "not included activities" sections. We recommend that you read them carefully and book optional services in advance (some entries require prior appointment).
Can I change or cancel my vacation after payment?
Yes, according to the contract. The conditions for modification or termination are specified in the contract annex and on each trip’s page under the “Documents” section.
❓Requests should be sent to: contact@sicro.md.
What type of accommodation is included in the trip, and when will we find out the name of the booked hotel?
Accommodation is usually provided in 3★ properties, and this information is mentioned in the trip description. If the exact name of the hotel or guesthouse is not specified in advance, it will be communicated a few days before departure (especially for shorter trips of up to 3 days).
We always select the best options, based on our 9+ years of experience. The final choice of hotel is made once the group is nearly complete, in order to accommodate specific requests for single, triple rooms or family apartments.
How is accommodation arranged for solo travelers?
We usually try to place solo travelers in twin rooms (separate beds) with persons of the same gender and similar age. If room sharing is not possible, a single supplement applies:
Romania: €35/night
Istanbul: €35/night
Hungary: €40/night
What type of transport is used for the trip?
In most cases, we travel by modern coach when there are more than 20 confirmed participants.
For groups under 20 people, the trip is organized with a comfortable and spacious minibus, specially designed for international travel.
All vehicles are modern, equipped with air conditioning and luggage space.
? You can view the transport we travel with here: www.sicro.md/en/transport-services
What seat will I have on the transport?
We cannot guarantee an exact seat number at the time of booking. Seat allocation is done transparently, based on the order of payment: the earlier you pay, the closer you will be seated to the front of the transport.
At booking, we can provide an approximate indication (“among the first seats,” “in the middle,” “after the middle,” “towards the back,” “last seats,” etc.).
Why can’t we specify the exact seat?
? We work with several transport companies, and the vehicles may vary from one trip to another.
? Each coach or minibus has its own seat numbering system.
At SICRO TRAVEL, we strictly follow one principle: seats are allocated exclusively according to the order of payment.
How much does an extra seat cost to sit alone on the transport?
The fees for reserving an extra seat are:
Minibus: €40
Coach: €35
Long trips:
• Istanbul / Budapest & Vienna – €90
• Danube Gorges – €50
? If the vehicle is not fully booked, no extra fee is charged.
Are there stops along the way?
Yes. There is a stop approximately every 3 hours for restroom breaks, snacks, or coffee.
Where is the departure point and where do we return?
Usually, the departure point is the Railway Station Square in Chișinău, and the return from the trip is to the same location.
One day before the trip, each traveler receives an SMS with:
- the exact boarding location,
- the guide/escort’s phone number,
- the license plate number of the coach or minibus.
Why is medical insurance not included in the package and paid separately?
Medical insurance is not automatically included in the package, as it is personalized according to each traveler’s age and health condition. However, it is essential for safety and for quick access to medical services if needed.
Indicative rates – weekend trips to Romania:
- up to 60 years – 50 MDL
- 60–64 years – 100 MDL
- 65–69 years – 150 MDL
- 70–74 years – 200 MDL
- 75–79 years – 250 MDL
- 80+ years – 300 MDL
Travelers are free to obtain their medical insurance either through SICRO TRAVEL or from any other authorized provider.
Important: if the insurance is purchased elsewhere, it must be presented at boarding.
What discounts does SICRO TRAVEL offer?
Loyal customers – 5% discount for travelers who have joined us at least once a year during the past 3 years.
(The discount does not apply to seaside and mountain packages.)
Groups – for a minimum of 10 paying participants, the 11th person travels free of charge.
Families with children – special discounts are applied depending on the number of adults, number of children, their ages, and the number of rooms required. To determine the exact discount, these details must be provided.
Why are prices shown in euros, but payments are made in Moldovan lei, and what exchange rate applies?
According to Moldovan law, payments must be made exclusively in Moldovan lei. Prices are displayed in euros because costs depend on external partners.
- Excursions and domestic trips – the commercial euro selling rate of MAIB SA on the day of payment applies. Details: https://www.sicro.md/en/-exchange-rate
- International vacations and packages (sea and mountain) – the exchange rate set by external partners applies. In this case, the commercial rate may be up to +2% higher than the official NBM rate.
What will the weather and conditions be like during the trip?
Rain in Chișinău does not mean the same weather at the destination, which may be 300–500 km away. Trips are canceled only in exceptional cases (natural disasters, official alerts, major blockages).
If the weather changes during the trip, the team adjusts the route and schedule to ensure the excursion remains safe and enjoyable for all participants.
Where will we have lunch and dinner?
Breakfast at the hotel is included (see the “included services” section).
Lunch and dinner are at your own expense. The guide will recommend local restaurants and guesthouses suitable for the group.
Can I skip some excursions or included attractions?
Yes, as long as it does not affect the group’s overall program.
If you wish to skip a certain visit (e.g.: Brașov, Bran Castle), please inform the guide and be back at the transport at the scheduled departure time.
