Tour details
Sarmizegetusa Regia → Was the capital and the most important military, religious, and political center of the Dacian state before the wars with the Roman Empire. It formed the core of a strategic defensive system consisting of six Dacian fortresses in the Orăștie Mountains, used by Decebal to defend against Roman conquest. The archaeological site of Sarmizegetusa is located in the village of Grădiștea de Munte, Hunedoara County.
Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa → The capital of the Roman province of Dacia, founded by Emperor Trajan after the conquest of the Dacian kingdom. The city was located in the Hațeg Basin, 40 km from the old Dacian capital, Sarmizegetusa Regia. Here you can find the ruins of a forum, an amphitheater, and several temples, which attest to the importance and wealth of the ancient city.
Densuș Church → A historical and spiritual monument located in the Hațeg region. Built from Roman stones brought from Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa, the church has a unique architectural style that combines Roman, Byzantine, and Romanian elements. It is renowned for its age and for the 15th-century mural paintings. The church is a pilgrimage site for the faithful and a tourist attraction for those interested in history and culture.
Prislop Monastery → A place full of history, spirituality, and beauty, located near the village of Silvașu de Sus. Here lies the tomb of Father Arsenie Boca, one of Romania’s greatest spiritual leaders, who also painted the icons in the monastery church. Prislop Monastery is an ideal destination for those seeking peace, prayer, and inspiration.
Tomb of Arsenie Boca → Located in the cemetery of Prislop Monastery, where he was buried in 1989. Every year, thousands of pilgrims come to pray and light candles at the tomb of the one who was called the “Saint of Transylvania.”
Corvin Castle → A medieval fortress in Hunedoara, built in the 15th century by John Hunyadi, one of Transylvania’s most important voivodes. The castle impresses with its Gothic architecture, towers and bastions, mural paintings, and the legends surrounding it.
Deva Fortress → A medieval fortress located on a volcanic hill overlooking the city of Deva and the Mureș Valley. Built in the 13th century, the fortress was the residence of Transylvanian voivodes and withstood Tatar and Turkish sieges.

❓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.

Romania: €35/night
Istanbul: €35/night
Hungary: €40/night
What type of transport is used for the trip?

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

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?
