Our first destination takes us to the quaint village of Râmeț, known for its 13th-century monastery, one of the oldest and most significant in Romania. As we approach the Râmeț Monastery, nestled within lush greenery and steeped in history, you’ll be transported back in time. We’ll take a walk through the church museum, showcasing ancient frescoes, and enjoy the peaceful natural surroundings that offer a serene atmosphere for reflection. This spiritual landmark played an important role in the religious life of the region and is a must-see for history and culture enthusiasts

From here, we will depart to Blaj, a lovely city, situated on the Mures Valley, in a picturesque wine region. Although its ethnic composition has always been very colourful, it became the centre of the Romanian emancipation movement in the 18th and 19th century. We will visit the Greek-Catholic cathedral and find out more about the great gatherings between 1848 and 1868 and about the important people who lived here.

After lunch, we will reach Alba Iulia and visit the old Habsburg citadel (very nicely restored in the past years), with Roman and medieval ruins, as well as the two cathedrals: the 1000-year-old St. Michael Catholic dome and the Orthodox Unification Cathedral, which was specially built after World War One, to celebrate the crowning of King Ferdinand and Queen Marry. After this, we will visit the local history museum and find out more about important landmarks in the Romanian history, such as the campaigns of Michael the Brave or the Uprising of Horia, Closca and Crisan. In the evening, we will return to Cluj.
