Itinerary and highlights
Did you know that Arges city was the first capital of Romania Country?
Everyone knows that truly good, beautiful and durable things come only through sacrifice, which will become apparent when you reach the old town of Curtea de Arges. With a rich and eventful history, this is where you get to see the ruins of the Wallachian princely court, the 13th century Royal Church, as well the famous Arges Monastery, an important historical monument with an interesting, yet sad story.
If we were to put together a tour of the castles in Romania for Dracula fans and adventure lovers, Poenari Castle would have to be on the list, being an important Romanian tourist attraction. With this private trip you will have the perfect chance to discover the wildlife in Transylvania.
As you are climbing up the 1480 stairs that lead up to the castle, you can rightfully say you are following in the steps of Dracula…
Did you know that one of the most spectacular roads in the world is Transfagarasan Highway?
The incredible view and stunning scenery that this paved mountain road offers is indescribable; even the video segment featured on Top Gear, deeming it the most beautiful road in the world, barely does it justice.
To get here we need to drive about 2 hour far from Bucharest!
