Carbon Neutral Trip

Romania is Europe’s best-kept secret—for now. Think Gothic fairytales, steam trains, and scenery that feels straight out of a storybook. Pedal through candy-coloured towns, dine on farms, and time-travel through medieval citadels. With tranquil roads, rustic traditions, and the Carpathians watching over it all, Transylvania’s charm is very real—and thankfully fang-free.

Historic Sites
Few regions in Europe can rival the concentration of nearly intact medieval cities and towns, where castles and ancient walls stand as sentinels of history.

Incredible Rides
With few cars and minimal mechanized farm equipment, Transylvania offers unspoiled nature and serene biking experiences.

Vibrant Culture
Romanians are proud of their country and heritage and eager to share this with you. You’ll encounter centuries-old traditions expressed in the music, food, crafts and art.
