Optional Sights to Visit on This Trip
Snagov Monastery
Hidden by woods and surrounded by the waters of Lake Snagov, the monastery was one of Wallachia’s most important spiritual and cultural centers during the medieval period. Built on ancient grounds with traces from the Bronze and Iron Ages, the site is believed by some to be the secret burial place of Vlad the Impaler, adding mystery to its peaceful setting.
Slănic Prahova Salt Mine
Located 100 km north of Bucharest, this old salt mine now welcomes visitors seeking wellness and recreation. Known for its stable microclimate rich in aerosols, the mine is ideal for those with respiratory issues. Inside, you’ll find recreational zones including playgrounds and ping-pong tables, making it both therapeutic and fun.
Peleș Castle
In the mountain resort town of Sinaia, Peleș Castle stands as one of Romania’s most exquisite royal landmarks. Built by King Carol I in the late 19th century, it was the first castle in Europe to be fully powered by electricity. Each room is uniquely decorated in styles ranging from Florentine to Moorish, offering visitors a glimpse into royal life and exceptional artistry.
Bran Castle
Often called “Dracula’s Castle,” Bran is perched atop a dramatic cliff in the Carpathians. Originally built in the 13th century and later gifted to Queen Marie of Romania, the castle’s towers, narrow passages, and Gothic ambiance make it one of the most visited attractions in the country. While not truly linked to Vlad the Impaler, the myth adds to its allure.
Râșnov Fortress
Built by the Teutonic Knights and expanded by Saxons, Râșnov Fortress stands as one of the best-preserved medieval citadels in Romania. Located 650 feet above the town, the fortress has withstood numerous invasions and even includes a legendary well dug during a long siege. Today, it offers panoramic views and an authentic medieval atmosphere.
