If Romania is on your travel radar, Butterfield & Robinson has an active trip combining luxury with adventure. Romania Biking will take participants through the byways of the country via vibrant farmlands and the fortified towns lying just beyond the borders of legendary Transylvania. Highlights include a walking tour of Sighisoara and its medieval citadels, cobblestone streets and brightly colored houses; the fortifications of Biertan, the first UNESCO village in Transylvania; the authentic and well-preserved historic sites at the village of Viscri plus its brickyards and wool producers; dinner at Casa Kraus; and cycling tours along paved roads through ancient Saxon villages and leafy forests of beech and oak.

Accommodations for the Romania journey include the Valea Verde Resort, the Fornius Residence within the citadel of Sighisoara and Daniel Castle in Talisoara. Pacing is at a recreational level on paved and mostly quiet roads, though areas are hilly and require negotiating slopes linking valleys. Prices for the six-day, five-night tour begin at $5,795 per person, based on double occupancy (single supplements start at $400). Departures are in May, June, August, September and October 2018. Private itineraries for small groups for eight nights and seven days begin at $5,995 per person, based on four people and double occupancy. Exact pricing depends on travel dates.
