Pilgrimage to the Prislop, Lainici, and Tismana Monasteries, departing from Bucharest
About This Tour
Sometimes, the soul needs a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, a moment of prayer, and a journey that brings inner peace. We invite you on a spiritual journey to three of Romania’s most beloved monastic settlements—an experience designed not only to visit beautiful places, but also to draw you closer to faith and spiritual peace.
Our itinerary begins with Prislop Monastery, a profoundly contemplative place, nationally renowned for the tomb of Father Arsenie Boca. The journey then continues to Lainici Monastery, spectacularly situated right in the midst of nature, in the heart of the Jiu Gorge, offering visitors a unique landscape where spirituality intertwines with the beauty of the mountains. Last but not least, we will step inside Tismana Monastery, a true treasure trove of history and a defining monastic center for the Oltenia region.
This pilgrimage is the perfect opportunity to leave behind the worries and noise of the city for a few moments of closeness to God. Free from the stress of driving, you’ll enjoy every moment spent in these holy places, turning a simple day trip into a precious memory and a healing experience for the soul.
