DAY 1

🕒 🚌Meeting at 06:00 in Bucharest, in the Piața Victoriei car park 🚗 (📍 Parcare Piata Victoriei on Google Maps), where the Cheerful Coach and the accompanying guide await you. 🏞️The first stop will be at Ocnele Mari Salt Mine, where we will descend to a depth of 225 metres to explore this wonderful underground paradise. Here we will have the opportunity to savour delicious dishes at the underground restaurant or treat yourselves to local wines in a unique cellar. We continue the tour at Cozia Monastery ⛪, a sacred place with a rich history. Its church dedicated to the 'Holy Trinity' is an architectural jewel, and the legends surrounding it will captivate you. 🏰We end the day with a walking tour of the Alba Iulia citadel, an impressive fortress built by the Habsburgs. Here you will admire the Cathedral of the Reunification of the Nation, the old Roman and mediaeval fortification, as well as the Roman Catholic Cathedral of St Michael, considered to be the oldest Gothic church in the country. 🛏️ Accommodation at Hotel Univers T 3* in Cluj/similar.
