The 4 Best Self-Guided Tours in Romania

1.Sibiu Old Town Exploration Game and Self-Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 82 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours (approx.) · from $6Our pick

Explore Sibiu’s medieval center with a flexible app-led puzzle tour featuring the Bridge of Lies, old walls, squares, and towers.

“Having recently completed a similar quest in Sibiu, we had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately it was not as well done as the one in Sibiu. The directions were not as clear and some of the clues were confusing. It was still enjoyable to wander around Sighisaora and the historical information and stories provided at each stop were good. This quest could use a little improvement.”
