Offered in: English and 1 more

Just outside Brașov stand two of the most remarkable fortified churches the Transylvanian Saxons ever built, and they are far quieter than the castles most visitors queue for. This private trip takes you to both: UNESCO-listed Prejmer, begun by the Teutonic Knights in 1218, where around 275 storage rooms are stacked inside walls up to 12 metres high, and Hărman, a church dating back to 1240 with seven defensive towers and the tallest bell tower in the Bârsa Land (56 m). Door-to-door pickup in Brașov, entry tickets to both churches and an unhurried pace are all included, so you simply explore.
