Optional Sights to Visit on This Trip

Snagov Monastery
Hidden in a forest and surrounded by Lake Snagov, this monastery is one of the most mysterious spiritual sites in Wallachia. Built on ancient foundations dating back to the Bronze and Iron Ages, it is believed by some to be the final resting place of Vlad the Impaler. Rich in legends and history, the monastery offers a peaceful atmosphere steeped in medieval lore.

Slănic Prahova Salt Mine
Located 100 km north of Bucharest, this former salt extraction site is now open to visitors and known for its therapeutic microclimate. The mine maintains a constant temperature and pressure, rich in natural aerosols — ideal for those with respiratory issues. Inside, you’ll find recreation zones including playgrounds and ping-pong tables, offering a unique mix of wellness and leisure.

Peleș Castle
Set in the Carpathian town of Sinaia, Peleș Castle is a true architectural jewel and one of Romania’s most visited landmarks. Built by King Carol I in 1873, it served as the royal family's summer residence. The castle boasts German neo-Renaissance style, intricate interior décor, and was the first fully electrified castle in Europe. Each room showcases a different artistic theme, making it a fascinating place to explore.

Bran Castle
Often referred to as Dracula’s Castle, Bran Castle is perched dramatically on the border between Transylvania and Wallachia. Originally constructed by the Teutonic Knights in 1212 and rebuilt in 1377, it later served as a royal residence for Queen Marie of Romania. Its dramatic towers, mythic ambiance, and historical significance draw visitors from all over the world.

Râșnov Fortress
Standing 650 feet above the town of Râșnov, this medieval citadel was built to defend against Tartar invasions. With nine towers, two bastions, and a restored drawbridge, the fortress offers stunning views and a sense of ancient resilience. Only breached once in 1612, it’s a testament to medieval military engineering and a great stop for those interested in Romania’s Saxon legacy.
