Curtea de Argeș is a city in Romania on the right bank of the Argeş River, where it flows through a valley of the lower Carpathians (the Făgăraş Mountains), on the railway from Pitești to the Turnu Roşu Pass. It is part of Argeș County.
The Transfăgărășan is a mountain paved road crossing the southern section of the Carpathian Mountains. It has national-road ranking and it is the second-highest paved road in Romania after Transalpina.
Aiud is a city located in Alba county, Transylvania, Romania. It has the status of municipality and is the second-largest city in the county, after county seat Alba Iulia.
