Overview

Transfagarasan road was voted by Top Gear as the most beautiful road in the world. If you don't want to miss it, the Transfagarasan road tour is perfect to discover this spectacular route.

On the way to Transfagarasan, you will also visit Curtea de Arges monastery, a beautiful church with a dark story and you will see Poenari fortress, the ruins of Vlad the Impaler’s castle and Vidraru dam.
