Durante esta excursión de tres horas por la ciudad, visitarás algunos de los lugares de culto más importantes para los diferentes grupos étnicos y religiosos asentados en esta parte del país.
Saldremos de la Plata Ovidiu, la principal plaza del casco antiguo de Constanza, y empezaremos visitando la mezquita más grande de Rumanía. Erigida en 1910, fue un regalo del rey como reconocimiento por la contribución de los musulmanes a la comunidad. Seguiremos caminando hasta la catedral católica romana de San Antón, una de las pocas de su tipo en la región, y tendremos tiempo para admirar este gran ejemplo de la arquitectura típica del norte de Italia. Muy cerca, nos espera la iglesia ortodoxa más importante de la región: la catedral ortodoxa de San Pedro y San Pablo. Construida en estilo neo-bizantino, junto a la costa, destaca el hecho de que sobreviviera a la Segunda Guerra Mundial y, tras ser reformada, lograra conservar su esplendor. Terminarás tu recorrido por Constanza con una visita al Museo de Arte Popular para empaparte de los usos y costumbres del lugar descubriendo la forma de vida de los agricultores de la región de Dobruja.
Ven a conocer Constanza, una ciudad donde la diversidad convive en armonía, donde cada comunidad, a pesar de su origen dispar, ha sabido preservar con éxito su identidad.
Get to know this pretty capital city and see the sites that have shaped Bucharest. As the sixth biggest city in Europe, it’s safe to say you’ll find lots to get up to here!
HIGHLIGHTS:
* Take your taste buds on a history tour and get to know how Romania’s past has influenced its cuisine today
* Hear the stories of Old Town, from Ottoman rule to French aristocracy, from Communist ruin to a new capitalist (night) life
* Enjoy a three-course traditional Romanian meal in a most charming restaurant
Start off in Revolution Square, which plays an important role in Romanian history. Notably, Ceausescu made his ill-advised rallying speech to a crowd that quickly turned on him back in 1989 which then led to the Romanian revolution. Close by, there are lots of landmarks, such as the former Royal Palace, the Athenaeum concert hall and Athenee Palace which was the place on everyone’s lips back in the day. In such a historical spot, it only seems right to have a traditional treat. We’ll enjoy a covrig - a daily salty snack for most Romanians. The snack was likely brought to Romania by Hapsburg or German merchants back in medieval times.
Next up, Victory Street: named after the 1871 War of Independence. Although it took until 1918 for Romania to be fully united, hence each region has its own distinct character. This stretch is also home to a bunch of other iconic inter-war monuments, including the Kretzulescu Church, Telephone Palace, Military Circle and former National Theatre.
We head in to the old town - this is the heart of medieval Bucharest. Here you can witness the many diverse influences on Romanian food — the Balkan mici (skinless sausages), the Ottoman sarmale (stuffed cabbage leaves), Russian borscht and ciorba (sour soups) and Austro-Hungarian schnitzel. Cast your eyes over the lavishly lush interiors and princely courts, the never-seen-before tranquillity of an orthodox monastery and the great wooden inn of Hanul Lui Manuc.
En route to our final destination, we’ll get a look at People's Palace, the centre of Ceausescu’s megalomaniac attempts to re-shape the city and the second largest building in the world (only pipped to the post by the Pentagon!). Try some culinary specialties at a traditional hanu or inn. During the time of the ancient Romanians (the Dacians) so much wine was drunk by the people that their leader: Burebista completely banned its production. The inventive Dacians began brewing beer right away! Pick either fine Romanian wines and/or locally brewed beer, just like the Dacians would have wanted!
Discover a page of Romania`s history in this full day trip! You will have the opportunity to visit the Fortress of Alba Iulia, wich was originally a Roman fort under the name of Apulum.
Built in the spectacular Vauban Style, this place invites you to travel back in time, to get to know its legends and stories. The trip continues with the visit of the Salt Mine in Turda, a real museum of salt with impressive views. You can enjoy its facilities like sports, Spa, halotherapy or even a little boat trip on the underground lake.
After this healthy stop by, we arrive in Cluj Napoca in the afternoon, also called the Treasure City. Being part of the Siebenburgen and the capital of Transylvania, the city-tour of Cluj-Napoca will impress you with its fortification sistem, medieval tracks or legendary monuments like the St. Michael Church. In the evening we drive back at Sibiu.
Route: Brasov - Transfagarasan road – Poienari - Brasov (depending of the season: Transfagarasan road is open between July 1 - October 31).
The trip starts with a visit to Poienari Fortress, the real Vlad Tepes's Main Residence Castle, followed by a drive on Transfagarasan highway, built as a strategic military route, Transfagarasan Highway is the second-highest paved road (2042m) in Romania and considered by some to be the most dramatic. It runs North to South across the highest sections of the Carpathian Mountains. The road connects the historic regions of Transylvania and Wallachia.
Drive for about 2 hours from Brasov to Balea Lake, which is a natural glacier lake at 2040m altitude, 360 meters long, 240 meters wide and 11 meters deep; one of the most beautiful glacier lakes of Romania.
Stop to Balea waterfall, with its 60 meters height - one of the most impressive waterfalls in central Europe, followed by about 1 hour to Balea Lake, while taking a short walk tour in the area.
The trip is continued on the other side of the mountain passing to Vidraru dam. Next sit to visit is Poienari Castle, a climb of about 1450 steps. The trip ends with a drive back to Brasov (about 2 hours drive).
One of the most imposing ancient monuments in Romania, “Tropaeum Trajani” dates back to 109 AD and is a pretty unique site, in this part of Europe. Just like Trajan’s Column in Rome, it represents a birth-certificate of the Romanian nation, depicting scenes from the armed conflicts between Rome and the Dacian Kingdom – Dacia. Built at the orders of Emperor Trajan by Apolodor of Damascus, to glorify the Romans’ victories against the peoples of Scythia Minor (present-day Dobrogea), the monument was decorated with 54 metopes representing a variety of scenes from the Roman campaigns in the Danube area and was 38m high.
First you will see the 1977 restored version of Adamclisi Monument and you’ll proceed then to the Adamclisi Museum to see the original parts of the monument, most of the metopes, the ornamental statues and some other relics found in the area. You continue then to St. Andrew’s Monastery, for a visit of the main church and the sacred cave where St. Andrew lived and preached from. After the visit, you’re invited to a special lunch served by the priests themselves. Continue then to Constanta and the hotel.

This activity is for the fans of Counter Strike who want to check the prime gun from the game in real life, too.
AK 47 shooting is a sport where the competitors are trying to unite the three principles of precision, power and speed, by using a firearm of a certain minimum power (caliber) to score as many points as possible during the shortest amount of time (or sometimes within a set maximum time).
AK 47 shooting is a modern sport that focuses on the use of the gun as a defensive weapon for self-defense, or for military and police use. Like most martial arts, combat shooting is practiced both for defense and for sport.
Pistol shooting and handgun shooting were developed as techniques for the police force. Instinct shooting requires the same eye, hand, and mind events as throwing a baseball or darts.
The shooter must devote full attention on the smallest part of the target whilst drawing the weapon to fire. Once the weapon is at the ready, the shooter must fire immediately, to avoid losing the intense focus and missing the target.
This technique is most often practiced with a moving target, such as clay birds or shooting plates. The practical use of this drill is for life or death situations, in which the gun handler must instinctively and accurately shoot the target.
The shooter must almost simultaneously: see the target, decide to shoot, start moving the gun to position, focus on a small part of the target, pull the trigger the instant the weapon reaches position.
The shooting is either on sunny, rainy or snowy weather.
