Description
The tour begins at 8 am with hotel pick up.
First off we’ll head to the city of Târgoviște, the former capital of the Wallachia region, and visit the old Princely Court from where Vlad the Impaler ruled. We’ll learn more about his life from the exhibition housed in the Chindia Tower.
Our next stop will be in the town of Curtea de Argeș, situated at the bottom of the Fagaras Mountains. Here, we’ll visit one of the most remarkable monasteries in Romania.
We’ll then continue to the northern regions of the Argeș county and venture into the marvellous mountainous landscape.
