Tour details

Warning
THIS TRIP IS NOT INCLUDED IN OUR STANDARD SCHEDULE. IT IS ORGANIZED UPON REQUEST – EITHER FOR 1–2 INDIVIDUAL TRAVELERS OR FOR LARGER GROUPS.

Explore Timișoara → where history and culture come together in a vibrant urban mosaic. Your adventure begins in Victory Square, continues to the Romanian National Opera and the Metropolitan Cathedral, and invites you to discover the dynamic life of Union Square. Move on to the Theresia Bastion and the city’s museums for a cultural immersion. The church in Elisabetin and strolls through “Queen Maria” and Roses Parks offer moments of relaxation, while a boat ride on the Bega River shows you the city from a new perspective. Timișoara calls you to discover the harmony between past and present, preparing you to fall in love with this city full of history and beauty.

Oradea → the pearl of Romanian architecture, blends history with modernity in a unique cultural mosaic. The vibrant city center, Union Square, and the City Hall Tower provide panoramic views and an introduction to the city’s richness. The Moskovits Palaces and the Greek-Catholic Episcopal Palace highlight the elegance of the era, while the Medieval Fortress and the Moskovits-Miksa Palace take you back in time, offering a glimpse into a glorious past. Oradea invites you to explore its hidden treasures and cultural heritage, in a city where architecture and culture meet harmoniously.

Corvin Castle in Hunedoara → “The living legend of Transylvania,” considered the largest medieval monument in Southeastern Europe and the castle where Vlad the Impaler is said to have been imprisoned. The monument has a unique charm thanks to its diverse construction styles, the presence of both military and civil innovations, and the tumultuous court life that animated it for more than 400 years. Corvin Castle impresses with its imposing presence dominating the city of Hunedoara. For those fascinated by the Middle Ages, the castle is a one-of-a-kind monument in Romania and among the most attractive in Europe.

Alba Carolina Fortress → The bastion fortification in Alba Iulia is the largest fortress in Romania, standing tall for over 300 years. The fortress takes you back in time, across two millennia, through the remains of three fortifications from different eras. In other words, each fortress built here incorporated the older one: the Roman castrum, the medieval fortress, and the Alba Carolina Fortress. Here you can also see the vestiges of the road once walked by Roman soldiers, the Union Hall, the Roman Catholic Cathedral of Saint Michael, and the Coronation Cathedral of Alba Iulia!

FAQ = Frequently asked questions

What is included in the price?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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.
