Transylvania Crown
A four-day road trip to Romania based in Sibiu, with two main driving days on the legendary Transalpina and Transfăgărășan.
About This Trip
Transylvania Crown is a four-day road trip for drivers who want more from the car than simply getting from point A to point B. Its base is Sibiu, a cultured Transylvanian city with real atmosphere, giving the whole trip a strong centre and an enjoyable evening rhythm. The real strength of this journey comes in two major driving days, where the open high-altitude character of Transalpina contrasts with the more dramatic yet calmer rhythm of the Transfăgărășan. The trip is long, intense and built for those who genuinely want to live through a proper drive.

Trip Highlights
Itinerary Overview
Transfer to Sibiu
The first day is a long transfer run through Hungary into Transylvania, built around an early start and well-timed stops. The goal is to reach Sibiu in good shape, settle into the city and be ready for the two main driving chapters of the trip.
Transalpina
Day two is the strongest driving day of the whole trip. Transalpina offers around 150 kilometres of driving heaven — open mountain space, flowing corners and the kind of rhythm that lets you really enjoy the car, while selected stops give the day a natural pace and rewarding views.
Transfăgărășan
Day three shifts the mood and brings a more technical and iconic mountain experience on the Transfăgărășan, climbing up towards Bâlea Lake. The route then layers in major elevation changes, the Vidraru Dam and a longer return run, making it one of the strongest days of the whole trip.
Return home
The final day closes the trip with a long return from Sibiu back home through Romania and Hungary. It is a clean transfer day built around discipline, smooth pacing and the satisfaction of leaving with a properly completed Transylvanian drive behind you.
