Bucharest to Sibiu
You'll head out early from Bucharest toward Curtea de Arges, where the first stop is the historic monastery that dominates the town. From there, the day really opens up as you drive the Transfagarasan Road, one of those routes that justifies the travel on its own. You'll pass through numerous tunnels and cross high viaducts while waterfalls appear along the mountainside. Balea Lake comes into view during the drive, and you'll pass through Romania's longest tunnel before arriving in Sibiu by evening for your overnight stay.

Sibiu
After breakfast, you'll head to Corvin Castle, where the Gothic architecture and knight's halls give a real sense of medieval military life. The fortress sits impressively on the landscape, and you can walk through the different sections to understand its layout. From there, it's on to Alba Carolina Fortress, built between 1715 and 1738 as a Vauban-style military structure that shows a completely different architectural approach. Later in the day you'll drive back to Sibiu, arriving in the evening.
