Optional Sightseeing Stops on Your Journey

Râșnov Fortress

Built by Teutonic Knights and first documented in 1331, Râșnov Fortress dominates the skyline above the town of Râșnov, perched 650 feet high on a rocky hilltop in the Carpathian Mountains. Once a strategic defense post for the region, the fortress was only conquered once in its history — in 1612, when the Ottomans discovered a hidden water tunnel. After centuries of abandonment, the fortress has been carefully restored and is now open to visitors seeking panoramic views and a glimpse into Transylvania’s medieval past.

Bran Castle (Dracula’s Castle)

With its imposing towers and cliffside location, Bran Castle is one of the most photographed sites in Romania. Founded in 1212 by the Teutonic Knights and rebuilt by the Saxons in 1377, the castle became famously associated with Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Beyond the legend, Bran served as a royal residence for Queen Marie between 1920 and 1948. Today it hosts a museum featuring a unique collection of art, furniture, and historical objects in a truly Gothic setting.

Peleș Castle – Sinaia

Nestled in the Carpathian foothills, Peleș Castle is a stunning example of German Neo-Renaissance architecture. Commissioned by King Carol I in the late 19th century, the castle was the royal family’s summer residence and the first fully electrified castle in Europe. Each room is distinct in style — from Gothic and Baroque to Oriental and Art Nouveau — making Peleș a living museum of European design and one of Romania’s most beautiful royal sites.

Slănic Prahova Salt Mine

Located approximately 100 km north of Bucharest, the Slănic Salt Mine is a subterranean attraction like no other. With its constant air pressure, cool temperature, and air rich in salt aerosols, it has long been used for both recreational and therapeutic purposes. Visitors can enjoy massive underground chambers, a play area, and even ping-pong tables, making it an ideal stop for families and wellness travelers alike.

Snagov Monastery

Situated on an island in the middle of Lake Snagov, surrounded by forest, this tranquil monastery is steeped in mystery. Archaeological finds suggest human presence since the Bronze Age, and the site became an important spiritual center during medieval times. According to legend, Vlad the Impaler (Dracula) was secretly buried here after his assassination. The monastery is accessible by a narrow footbridge and offers both spiritual atmosphere and historical intrigue.
