Entry to Transylvania (day trip from Timisoara for first timers)

We will enter Transylvania the same way the Romans legions did more than 2000 years ago, through Tapae - also called the iron gates of Transylvania. I always feel the emotion of my guest as we go trough this places. Only a few kilometers away we will stop to visit Ulpia Traiana Sarmisegetusa, the ancient roman city, the first capital of the Roman province Dacia. Further east towards Densus we will see probably the oldest church still standing on Romanian soil. As Then we will stop in Hunedoara to see the famous Corvin Castle, a masterpiece of 15th-century gothic architecture, listed among the most visited sites in Romania. On the way back I'll take you to see the Deva citadel, the one that guarded for more than 500 years the entrance to Transylvania on the Mures Valley. This is probably my favorite ending for a day tour, as we will enjoy the fairytale view from the walls of the fortress towards sunset, where we will be heading, heroes for another day!
