Dacia 1300 Classic Car Tour

Dacia 1300 Classic Car Tour, 1 day.

Overview

You ride through Sibiu and the surrounding countryside in a Dacia 1300, the car this tour is built around, while a guide shares stories about the communist period and the history of the car itself. The tour starts in central Sibiu, where you drive past its squares and historic streets, then heads out into Mărginimea Sibiului, the countryside beyond the city. Sibiu is described by the operator as one of Europe's best-preserved medieval cities, and the opening stretch of the tour is spent on its streets before the car heads for the villages.

The route calls at Cisnădie, Cisnădioara and Rășinari, traditional settlements with fortified churches and a mix of Saxon and Romanian architecture. Between stops there are mountain views and the slower rhythm of rural Transylvania. Along the way the guide covers local traditions, everyday life under communism, and the story of the Dacia 1300 itself.

The tour lasts one day and covers both urban and rural areas. It suits travellers curious about Romania's communist period, vintage cars, or village life around Sibiu. Note that pickup is not included: you make your own way to the meeting point at Sala Thalia on Bulevardul Corneliu Coposu.

Food, drinks and personal expenses are excluded, and nothing can be eaten or drunk in the vehicle. Non-folding wheelchairs are not permitted, and the day involves travel in a vintage car across both city and countryside, which may not suit everyone.
