Come to Romania for the castles. Find yourself staying for the mountains. 🏰🏔️

You might start planning your trip with images of medieval towns, castle towers, and the stories of Transylvania. Then you discover the Transfagarasan (pronounced roughly "trans-fuh-guh-ruh-SHAHN"), a road winding through the Fagaras Mountains, its hairpin turns making the journey an experience of its own.

If you love active holidays, this is where a scenic drive can turn into a day of adventure. 🥾

At around 6,670 feet above sea level, Balea Lake is a starting point for exploring Romania on foot. Hiking trails lead into the surrounding mountains, toward glacial lakes, mountain passes, and viewpoints that reveal just how small that winding road looks from above.

Hike over the mountain saddle toward Capra Lake, explore the trails around Doamnei Lake, or choose a more demanding summit route if you have mountain hiking experience. Further down, a shorter hike to Balea Waterfall offers another way to stretch your legs and spend time in nature.

Suddenly, the trip you imagined as castle visits and cobbled streets has a day of hiking boots, mountain air, and a well-earned rest beside a glacial lake.

Our Active Travel theme is all about making room for experiences like these: exploring a destination through its trails and landscapes, alongside its history, culture, and food.

Would you add a mountain hiking day to your itinerary? 🇷🇴

The high mountain road and hiking routes are seasonal, so plan your visit around local conditions and choose a trail suited to your experience.

Flaky on the outside, warm and creamy on the inside—pastel de nata is one of Portugal’s simplest pleasures. 🇵🇹✨

Best enjoyed fresh from the oven, with a dusting of cinnamon or powdered sugar and a strong cup of coffee. Sometimes, the smallest moments become the sweetest travel memories. ☕️

How would you have yours: cinnamon, powdered sugar, or both?
