Sample Itinerary:
Day 1 ■ ARRIVAL
Individual Arrival to Bucharest, Romania
Welcome to your Romania adventure!
Upon your arrival, you'll enjoy a comfortable and private transfer to your hotel. In the early evening, your selected supercar will be delivered—complete with a pre-programmed GPS and a printed road book to guide your adventure. A brief tour briefing will be provided, and you’ll have access to dedicated on-call support throughout your journey.
Day 2 ■ TRANS FAGARASAN ROAD
Cross the majestic Făgăraș Mountains as you take on the awe-inspiring Transfăgărășan Highway — a 91 km (57 mile) stretch of tarmac that climbs to a breathtaking 2,042 metres (6,699 ft). Commissioned by former communist leader Nicolae Ceaușescu, this engineering marvel was impressively completed between 1970 and 1974.
By late afternoon, you'll arrive in the charming, UNESCO-listed town of Sibiu — a cultural gem nestled in the heart of Transylvania.
Day 3 ■ TRANS ALPINA ROAD DRIVE
Drive south from Sibiu towards another impressive road, the TransAlpina Highway, featuring the winding Urdele Pass at its highest point. The views along the way are breathtaking, and the driving experience is endlessly exciting. This spectacular high road covers an ultra-scenic 148 kilometers (90 miles), with approximately 20 kilometers (12 miles) above 2000 meters (6561 ft) altitude, crossing the Parang Mountains.
Although it runs parallel to the famous TransFagarasan, the TransAlpina is often overlooked since the British TV program TopGear didn't promote it when they visited the region, possibly because the road was still being asphalted during their shoot.
Visit the open-air museum to learn about the history and life in the Fagarasan Mountains a century ago. Later in the afternoon, arrive at your hotel quietly nestled next to a park.
Day 4 ■ TRANSYLVANIA DRIVE
Embark on a thrilling drive through dense forests along winding country roads that lead to the mysterious Transylvania, home of vampires and howling wolves. Admire the ever-changing natural scenery of green hills, blue rivers, and endless forests, all while immersing yourself in the unique culture, history, and cuisine of the region, where Romanians, Hungarians, Saxons, and Roma have all left their marks.
Your journey will take you to Bran Castle, one of the world's most famous castles, surrounded by the stunning Carpathian Mountains. The castle's magnificent Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance architecture served as the inspiration for Bram Stoker's classic vampire novel, Dracula.
Day 5 ■ WALACHIA DRIVE
Follow the historic roads connecting Transylvania to Walachia and explore the magnificent Peles Castle, the former residence of the Romanian Royal Family. This Neo-Renaissance castle was ahead of its time, being the first palace in Europe to use electricity from its own power plant and heating.
Once your tour of the castle is complete, you can savor lunch on the terrace of another nearby castle. On your way back to Bucharest, take a secret back road that unveils some of Romania's most picturesque views atop a mountain plateau.
