Corvin Castle is one of Transsylvania's most famous sights and should be way hight on your to-see list. Deva's Fortress is a beautiful, freshly renovated landmark with a stunning view. Visit both of them in one go!
We will depart from Sibiu in our university's bus and visit Deva, a small city about 1:30 hours away. From there, a 30-minute walk takes us up to the fortress (alternatively, by cable car for 20 lei at own expense). The fortress hill delivers the perfect spot for beautiful pictures.
From Deva, we drive on to Hunedoara where we will have a lunch break (lunch at own expense. Or bring something from home). This is also a good time to see Hunedoara's small but cute city center. After lunch, we visit Corvin Castle together (11 lei entrance fee included in the price. Student ID required). It is an essential location for the history of Transsylvania and Romania as a whole.
After the castle visit, we board our bus and drive back to Sibiu.
Please understand that depending on traffic, the arrival time in Sibiu might get delayed.
