The city of Miercurea Ciuc (Szeklerburg) is located in the historical region of Transylvania in Romania and is worth seeing. There are many historical sights in Miercurea Ciuc, including the Miko Castle (Mikó Citadel), which today houses the Hungarian History Museum (Muzeul Secuiesc al Ciucului). The monastery (Manastirea Franciscana), which includes the Basilica of St. Mary (Bazilica Șumuleu Ciuc), is also interesting and worth seeing.

One of the most imposing buildings in the city is a school building (Liceul Marton Aron). Explore the city best on foot and keep your eyes open. There are numerous old buildings and beautiful facades. You should also walk along the promenade (Strada Petofi). On the pedestrian zone you can shop, eat in one of the restaurants or just enjoy the special atmosphere.

Miercurea Ciuc is worth seeing and at the same time a good starting point to explore the nearby surroundings or to go hiking, biking and skiing in winter. Not far away (90Km) is also the Parcul Național Ceahlău and the gorge Bicaz. Worth seeing is also the salt mine (Salina Praid ), which is about 90 kilometers away. I would like to mention the bobsleigh track in Ghimeș (Pista de bob din Ghimeș) at 30 kilometers and Saint Ana Lake at 60 kilometers. Or how about a brewery visit (Centrul de vizitare al fabricii de bere Csíki Sör).
