What to expect
Curtea de Arges Monastery
30m · Admission ticket not included
Did you know that Arges city was the first capital of Romania? 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, story that your private guide will share with you!
Poienari Castle
2h · Admission ticket not included
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. For the moment the Fortress is under restauration, so we will not go to visit, we will just take some pictures of it!
Transfagarasan Highway
3h
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.
We stop here regarding the information for you, please don’t forget your camera, you’ll need it!
Vidraru Dam

Vidraru Dam is a dam in Romania. It was completed in 1966 on the Argeș River and creates Lake Vidraru. The arch dam was built with the primary purpose to produce hydroelectricity. The dam's height is 166 metres, the arch length 305 meters and it can store 465 million cubic metres of water. The reservoir has a total shoreline (perimeter) length of 28 km.
