Optional Sightseeing Stops

Râșnov Fortress

Built in the 14th century by Teutonic Knights and later expanded by Saxon settlers, Râșnov Fortress is dramatically located on a rocky hilltop 650 feet above the town. Guarded by towers, bastions, and a drawbridge, the fortress was designed to withstand invasions and was only captured once, in 1612. Restored in recent years, it now offers panoramic views and a compelling journey into medieval history.

Bran Castle (Dracula’s Castle)

One of the most famous attractions in Romania, Bran Castle is surrounded by myth and history. Originally constructed in 1212 and later rebuilt by the Saxons of Kronstadt, the castle is perched on a cliff at the former border between Transylvania and Wallachia. Though often linked to Bram Stoker’s Dracula, its real-life role as a royal residence for Queen Marie adds to its prestige. Today, it functions as a museum filled with period furniture and royal artifacts.

Peleș Castle – Sinaia

Located in the scenic town of Sinaia, Peleș Castle is a masterpiece of Neo-Renaissance architecture. Commissioned by King Carol I in 1873, it served as the summer residence of the Romanian royal family. The interior is a museum of elegance, where each room tells a different story through furniture, decor, and art. Peleș was also the first fully electrified castle in Europe, powered by its own local plant.

Snagov Monastery

Situated on an island in Lake Snagov, this quiet monastery is one of Wallachia’s oldest and most mysterious spiritual centers. Archaeological evidence points to continuous human activity since the Bronze Age. According to legend, Vlad the Impaler (Dracula) was buried here by monks after his death in 1476, although the exact location of his tomb remains unconfirmed. Beyond the myth, the monastery remains a tranquil place of reflection surrounded by nature.

Comana Monastery

Founded in 1461 by Vlad Țepeș (Vlad the Impaler) as both a place of worship and a fortress, Comana Monastery played a significant defensive role in its time. Built on what was once an island in a swamp, its strategic isolation made it easy to defend. In the 1970s, archaeologists uncovered a headless body believed by some historians to be that of Vlad himself, potentially making Comana his actual final resting place.
