Transfagarasan Highway Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

This highway is the highest in Romania and crosses over the tallest mountain range in the country. Many consider this to be one of the best driving roads on earth, and we can easily see why! Although this is the most often shown photo of the road, it's total length is over 90 kilometers, winding the entire way! #Europe #Romania #Road

A road that has just turned 41 years old! It's claimed to be the most beautiful in the world, its construction claimed many lives, and it definitely is my favourite high-altitude road in Romania.
'Be prepared to climb the 1480 steps to the top of the cliff, situated 800 m above sea level. You will be welcomed by breathtaking views and by some impressive ruins dating back to the 13th century and having actually been a secondary residence to Vlad the Impaler.' #WeekendGetaway
Beautiful artificial Lake Vidraru in Romenia. It was created in 1965 by the construction of the Vidraru Dam on the Arges River. Check out the natural mirror effect.

More vegetarian food options would have been nice. Some shower curtains would stop the bathrooms from getting so wet.

Very nice and cozy apartment, clean and very big for a downtown location. The owner is answering fast to all questions. The only issue is the parking, you have to wait to get a paid parking spot in the front of the building. If not, you can park there after 10-11 pm when few of cars will leave.
