Optional Sights to Visit on This Route

Snagov Monastery

Tucked away on a forested island in the middle of Lake Snagov, this monastery is a spiritual and historic gem of Wallachia. Built on ancient foundations with artifacts from the Bronze and Iron Ages, Snagov is famously rumored to be the burial place of Vlad the Impaler (Dracula). Its quiet atmosphere and haunting legend make it an unforgettable stop.

Slănic Prahova Salt Mine

Located just 100 km north of Bucharest, this former salt mine is now a unique underground tourist attraction and wellness destination. The mine’s constant microclimate and high salt aerosol content are believed to benefit those with respiratory conditions. Inside, visitors can enjoy playgrounds, ping-pong tables, and an ethereal salt-sculpted environment — ideal for families or anyone seeking a refreshing escape from the surface.

Peleș Castle – Sinaia

A jewel of the Carpathians, Peleș Castle is one of the most stunning royal residences in Europe. Built in the late 19th century for King Carol I, it was the first fully electrified castle in the world. Each room is an artistic masterpiece, reflecting styles from Gothic to Baroque and Art Nouveau. Surrounded by forested hills and alpine air, it’s a must-see stop on your way to or from Brașov.

Bran Castle (Dracula’s Castle)

This legendary fortress, dramatically perched on a cliff, is best known as “Dracula’s Castle”. Though the real Vlad the Impaler never lived here, the castle’s medieval ambiance and eerie architecture have inspired many legends. Originally built by the Teutonic Knights in 1212 and rebuilt by Saxons in the 14th century, Bran Castle is now a museum showcasing Queen Marie’s art collection and royal history.

Râșnov Fortress

Strategically located 650 ft. above the town of Râșnov, this 14th-century citadel was built for protection against Tartar invasions and later expanded by Transylvanian Saxons. The fortress features nine towers, bastions, and a drawbridge, and is steeped in stories of sieges and survival. Restored in recent years, it offers panoramic views and a deep dive into Transylvanian defensive architecture.
