Itinerary
1
Transfagarasan Highway
Transfagarasan Road:
Often described as one of the most scenic roads in the world, the Transfagarasan crosses the Fagaras Mountains, the highest range of the Southern Carpathians. The road connects Transylvania with Wallachia and reaches an altitude of over 2,000 meters near Balea Lake. Built between 1970 and 1974 during the period of Nicolae Ceausescu, it is known for its tight hairpin curves, alpine tunnels, and panoramic views. The experience includes strategic photo stops, explanations about the engineering history of the road, and short alpine walks near Balea Lake.
1 hour
2
Transalpina
Transalpina Road:
The Transalpina, also known as DN67C, is the highest road in Romania, reaching approximately 2,145 meters in the Parang Mountains. Compared to Transfagarasan, it offers wider open alpine plateaus and long, flowing curves with expansive mountain views. The landscape is raw and less commercial. The tour includes carefully selected stops for panoramic viewpoints and contextual information about the geography, pastoral traditions, and seasonal accessibility of the road.
1 hour
3
Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle)
Bran Castle:
Commonly referred to as “Dracula’s Castle,” Bran Castle is a medieval fortress located near Bran, close to Brasov. While the association with Bram Stoker’s fictional character Dracula is primarily a tourism narrative, the castle itself has documented historical significance as a 14th-century defensive structure and later a royal residence of Queen Marie of Romania.
2 hours

Constanta
Black Sea Coast:

Danube Delta
Danube Delta:
The Danube Delta is one of Europe’s largest and best-preserved river deltas and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a biosphere reserve known for its biodiversity, including hundreds of bird species and extensive reed beds. The tour includes transport to the Delta gateway towns such as Tulcea, coordination of the visit, and contextual information about the delta ecosystem, fishing communities, and conservation regulations.
