Bucovina & Transylvania Tours with TravelMaker in Romania | Bus Tour

Romania’s heart lies beyond Bucharest, where the rolling hills of Bucovina and the shadowed forests of Transylvania invite travelers into a realm of vivid history and striking landscapes. TravelMaker’s Bucovina & Transylvania Tour unlocks this treasure with a thoughtfully paced 3-day itinerary that balances cultural landmarks with the pulse of rural life. Starting from Bucharest, participants traverse northward into Bucovina’s UNESCO-listed painted monasteries, like Voronet, whose brilliant frescoes, preserved through centuries, offer a window into Eastern Orthodox art and spirituality against the backdrop of dense woodland and gentle mountains. These monasteries stand apart for their rare exterior murals, a unique feature in European sacred architecture.

From there, the route winds toward Transylvania, where Bran Castle—the so-called Dracula’s Castle—perches strategically among forested peaks. The castle’s imposing silhouette speaks to medieval defense and romanticized folklore alike, captivating visitors with tales both historical and legendary. Nearby, Brasov offers a contrasting charm with its cobblestone streets lined by baroque buildings and shadowed by the Carpathian Mountains. Its compact old town invites wandering, with lively squares and local markets that reveal the warmth of Romanian hospitality.

TravelMaker thrives in orchestrating this immersive route, providing more than just logistical ease—they bring a local’s eye to the region’s subtle rhythms, from quiet villages to expansive natural panoramas.
