Day-by-Day Tour

DAY 1 – Bucharest Arrival

Welcome to Romania! Prepare yourself for a real adventure. It won’t be an easy route – we will ride on two of the most beautiful and highest roads in Romania.

On the first day, you may choose to visit the Palace of the Parliament – according to the World Records Academy, the Palace of the Parliament is the world’s largest civilian building with an administrative function and the second largest building in the world after The Pentagon in America. Also, it is the most expensive administrative building and the heaviest building in the world.

Or, you may choose to visit the Old Centre of Bucharest – charm, coffee shops, great cuisine, art galleries, lifestyle and beautiful people.

You should also visit the Village Museum – a fascinating outdoor museum, the largest in Europe, surrounded by the largest park in Bucharest – Herastrau.

 

DAY 2 – Bucharest  – Targoviste – Curtea de Arges – Vidraru

Average: 240 km/ 3 h 40 min

Chindiei Tower: the 122 stairs are worth climbing for a breathtaking view of the city of Târgoviște and its surroundings that are revealed from the 27 m height of the tower terrace.

Curtea de Arges – in this city you will find one of the most beautiful monasteries in Romania, a place filled with history and legends.

Vidraru Dam is considered by the specialists a real jewelry of engineering. 42 kilometers of subterranean galleries were drilled, about 1,768,000 cubic meters of hard rocks were excavated (of which one million had to be extracted from the undergrounds), 930,000 cubic meters of concrete were used and 6,300 tons of electromechanical equipment were set up for its construction.

 

DAY 3 – Transfagarasan – Sibiu

Transfagarasan Road is a spectacular 152 km-stretch road across the Fagaras Mountains. The road climbs to 2,042 meters altitude (starting from the Bâlea Tunnel area), being the 2nd highest mountain pass in Romania after Transalpina whose maximum altitude is of 2,145 meters. The road has 833 culverts and 28 viaducts and many points of interest along the way.

Sibiu – In 2007 Sibiu was declared the European Capital of Culture. Sibiu is a pedestrian-friendly city with two easily accessible levels: the Upper Town, home to most of Sibiu’s historic sights, and the Lower Town, lined with colorful houses on cobblestone streets and bounded by imposing city walls and defense towers overlooking the river Cibin.

Transalpina is the most beautiful and the highest road in Romania. When you will get there, you will understand why.

Women’s Cave – Among the thousands of caves in the Carpathians, only few have been so rich in events like the Women’s Cave. The Women’s Cave was a natural fortress, a point of resistance against the residents of the neighboring settlements all along their tumultuous history.

Polovragi Cave: The Throne of Zamolxis can be found here. Zamolxis, the leader of the Dacians, was believed to be able to change his appearance.

On our way to Bucharest, we will cross the Black Hill, a hill full of serpentines, forests and lakes.

It will be hard to let go!
