You step out of Bucharest’s early-morning traffic and into the wide, green shoulders of the Carpathians—rolling hills that push and pull the road beneath the private car as you head north. The day unfurls like a mapped route: first the fortified streets of Brașov with Postăvaru rising like a watchful neighbor, then Bran Castle’s crenellated silhouette, and finally the cobbled spires and clocktower of Sighişoara.
