Itinerary and highlights

Your private day tour begins with pickup directly from your hotel in Brașov. From there, we embark on one of the most scenic drives in Romania—the legendary Transfăgărășan Highroad, famously dubbed by Top Gear as "the best road in the world." This winding alpine route offers breathtaking views of the Carpathian Mountains, with photo stops along the way to soak in the dramatic landscapes and fresh mountain air.

Please note: The Transfăgărășan is open only during the summer months (typically July to October). During the winter season, when the road is closed due to snow, we still access the high mountain views via cable car, offering a different but equally impressive experience.

Discovering Sibiu – Culture, Cuisine & Charm
After the scenic mountain experience, we continue to Sibiu, one of Romania’s most charming cities and a former European Capital of Culture. You’ll enjoy a guided walking tour of the beautifully preserved Old Town, where cobbled streets and colorful architecture transport you to another time. Highlights include visits to both the Lutheran Cathedral, with its stunning Gothic architecture, and the Orthodox Cathedral, a jewel of neo-Byzantine design.

For lunch, you’ll dine in one of Sibiu’s top local restaurants. In 2019, Sibiu proudly held the title of European Gastronomic Region, and you'll get a taste of why—it’s a great opportunity to savor traditional Romanian dishes prepared with a modern twist.

After a relaxed afternoon enjoying Sibiu's cultural and culinary delights, we return to Brașov, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel.
