What You Will Do
This tour combines history, legend, and breathtaking natural landscapes.
1. Begin with a visit to the Curtea de Argeș Monastery, an architectural gem and spiritual heart of Romania. Dating back to the 16th century, this ornate structure is famous for its stunning Byzantine and Renaissance influences. The monastery is also the final resting place of Romanian royalty, adding to its aura of reverence and mystery.
2. Next, journey to the historic Poenari Fortress, once a strategic stronghold of Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration for Dracula. Perched on a cliff overlooking the Argeș Valley. Here, you’ll not only step back in time but also enjoy one of the most striking views of the Carpathians.
3. Conclude your adventure with a visit to Vidraru Dam, one of Romania's engineering marvels. This towering structure, built in the 1960s, holds back the glistening waters of Lake Vidraru and offers a panoramic view of the Făgăraș Mountains.
