Discover Alba Iulia at your own pace! Your smooth ride to Alba transports you to one of the oldest settlements in the region, where a legacy of viticulture and imperial grandeur awaits. Once a vital military and economic hub during Roman rule, and crafted as a miniature Rome, Alba later flourished as the capital of the independent Principality of Transylvania, its heyday marked by regal estates and noble heritage. The peasant revolt of 1785 further imbued the city with a spirit of justice and freedom. Today, meander along the wide, tree-lined boulevards of the Habsburg Citadel, a massive 18th century fortress with elegant baroque accents, and admire the Roman Catholic Cathedral, Transylvania’s oldest monument. After a day steeped in history and timeless allure, you’ll enjoy a comfortable journey back, with Alba’s enduring charm forever in your heart.
