Romania surprises many travellers with its castle-lined hills, untouched countryside, horse-drawn carts still rolling through villages, and a pace of life that feels timeless. Cycling here is a journey into Europe’s rural past, with warm hospitality and wide-open landscapes.
Our Romania tours focus on gentle cycling through traditional landscapes, mainly in Transylvania and the Carpathian foothills. Expect relaxed daily distances, characterful guesthouses, local food experiences, and optional e-bikes for added comfort.

Romania is for those who crave authenticity. Away from the usual cycling hotspots, Romania offers quiet countryside roads, medieval towns, sprawling meadows, and views of the Carpathian Mountains that feel worlds away from modern tourism. Villages in Transylvania look lifted from another era—painted houses, fortified churches, and shepherds guiding flocks through rolling hills. The food is hearty, the wine underrated, and the welcome genuine. For cyclists who love cultural immersion as much as scenery, Romania delivers a rich and refreshing alternative to mainstream Europe.
Romania’s cycling charm centres around Transylvania, a region of fortified Saxon villages, UNESCO-listed churches and castle-dotted hills. The Carpathian Foothills offer sweeping meadows and woodland routes with mountain vistas in the distance, ideal for peaceful rural riding. Around Sibiu and Brașov, medieval towns and cobbled squares provide cultural stops between scenic loops. For a taste of untouched rural life, the Saxon villages reveal a slower rhythm, where time feels happily suspended. Together, these regions offer a cycling experience that feels both raw and deeply rewarding.
The Danube Delta offers a completely different cycling experience of waterways, reed beds, remote villages, and vast wetlands alive with birdlife, perfect for slow exploration.
“The Danube Delta in Romania is the second largest in Europe and the best-preserved one. It stretches over 4,152 sq. km and it’s home to a variety of bird and fish species.”
