You'll see the royal court of Vlad the Impaler, visit the Golești Museum and the Boyar Mansion, and head to the city of Curtea de Argeș to see one of the prettiest monasteries in the country."

The nature was absolutely stunning, and spotting the bears was an unforgettable experience!

It felt like a real adventure, and we came back with amazing photos and memories.”
