    The Viscri Fortified Church is easy to find if you have a GPS but worth the drive. You have to park down the street from the church but it is just a short walk to the site. The outside is very well...

    The top attraction in Viscri is the fortified church, definitely worth visiting. If you climb in the church tower, you'll get a nice view of the village and surrounding area. The ticket price is only 12 RON. What I didn't like was that the visiting schedule was very short, between 11 and 15 (in the summer it s much longer).
  • By Giovanni Balzi
    Beautiful place, calm environment and in my opinion pretty authentic, you can still feel the original vibe. Very easily accessible by car, with a couple restaurants around (bring cash tho). Only downside not a lot is explained about the citadel, it's very difficult to know the history of it.
