Viscri Fortified Church, Viscri, Romania Visit Viscri, an authentic Transylvanian village and the oldest fortified church in Transylvania and UNESCO world heritage site. Walking through this enchanting village is like going back in time! Even Prince Charles of Wales, attracted by the beauty of this area, bought a house here a few years ago. Visit Prince Charles of Wales house.
With a medieval fortification at its heart and bucolic meadows in its surrounds, Viscri epitomises the romance of rural Transylvania. Flowing from Viscri’s medieval fortified church are cobbled lanes flanked by rows of cornflower-blue houses. The only sounds are the rattle of horse-drawn carts and the clank of a blacksmith’s workshop. Viscri village remains one of the best-preserved Saxon villages in Romania. Have a walk through the village and discover a cultural and natural landscape which disappeared in most parts of Europe.
Time allocated for taking pictures and walking through the village. Your guide will lead you to the best spots!

The whole tour from Brasov to Viscri to Sighisoara was fantastic. My guide does not only have the facts behind the places but she gave very useful personal insights along the way. Overall it was a very fun and immersive experience and would love to have them back as my tour guide when I return.

Found Transylvania Discovery Tours through good reviews on TripAdvisor. I usually don’t hire a guide (have only done so once previously over decades of world travel). Chose to do so because I would only be in Romania for a short time and reviews looked very good. We exchanged a few emails and settled on an itinerary and price, with no deposit or payment expected until the end of the trip.
Bogdan arrived exactly on time at my hotel. We drove out of Bucharest in his comfortable car. There had been over a foot of snow in the previous week, but he negotiated the driving easily. Lots of great conversation over the entirety of the trip covering Romanian and European history, world events, and everything from AC/DC to Veyrons, and topics in between.
Bogdan was well known and well regarded at all of our stops - Pele Castle, Bran Castle, the colorful Saxon village of Viscri (including the oldest fortified church in Transylvania), the Sighisoara Citadel, and the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler. He chose very nice stops for lunch (you pay for your own) and a pleasant pension for the overnight stay in Brasov (included in the price of the tour).
I highly recommend Bogdan’s guided tours and hope to get back to picturesque Romania in warmer weather.
