Transylvania by Rail
Skip the driving and take the train from Bucharest via Sinaia, Brașov, and Sighișoara to Cluj-Napoca.
Travel north along Romania's main railway line, with each leg taking two to three hours. Stay in city or citadel centers where everything is within walking distance. Use public buses for the round trip to Bran Castle. This open-jaw itinerary avoids backtracking, flying out of Cluj. Perfect for first-time visitors who prefer not to drive. This route skips the fortified church villages, which are difficult to reach by train, as well as Sibiu.
