Ruins
Steeped in Dracula-flavored mythology, the small Romanian village of Arefu feels like it's stuck in time. The main attraction in Arefu is the nearby medieval citadel, notable for its links to the infamous Vlad the Impaler. Most people take a trip to Arefu as part of a longer tour along the scenic Transfagarasan Highway, which winds through the surrounding mountains. When using our Romania trip itinerary planner to make an itinerary online, Arefu holidays come together around your tastes, interests, and requirements, with us taking care of the logistics.
