  • Fagaras Fortress, Fagaras, Romania
    Depart from Bucharest and travel towards Fagaras Town, a former political-administrative center. The main attraction here is Fagaras Fortress. Surrounded by a moat, this is the only fortress of its kind in Romania. In the early seventeenth century, the city became the princely residence of Michael the Brave. From 1948 until 1960 the castle was used as a prison. In one of its towers “The Iron Lady” was found; a medieval torture device. The castle now hosts Fagaras Country Museum, which dedicated to local history and the municipal library.

I was the only one who had signed up for this tour on this particular day, so it was more of a private tour. My tour guide was very nice and friendly, however, it was a rather long day of mostly being in the car. I would still recommend this tour for the experience of seeing the beautiful Romanian country side, the amazing drive through the Carpathian mountains on the Transfagarasan Road.
