Optional Sights to Visit on This Trip
Monument to 1300 Years of Bulgaria
Overlooking the city of Shumen, this monumental structure commemorates 1300 years of Bulgarian statehood. Built in 1981, it’s a massive Cubist concrete complex standing 450 meters above sea level. Its striking design by sculptors Krum Damyanov and Ivan Slavov makes it visible from 30 km away, offering a powerful symbol of Bulgaria’s national identity and artistic boldness.
Rock-Hewn Churches of Ivanovo
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, these remarkable churches were carved directly into the cliffs by monks between the 13th and 17th centuries. Though only a few of the original 40 churches remain today, their exquisite medieval frescoes offer deep insights into Bulgarian Orthodox art and spiritual life.
Basarbovo Monastery
This unique cave monastery near Ruse is perched above the Rusenski Lom River. Dedicated to Saint Dimitar Basarbovski — a shepherd-turned-saint who lived as a hermit — the site is serene, spiritual, and historically significant. It remains an active monastery and a cherished religious destination.
Comana Monastery
Built by Vlad the Impaler in 1461, this fortified monastery once stood on an island amidst swamplands. Legends tell of Vlad’s possible burial on the site, where a headless body was discovered during excavations.
Today, the monastery is a peaceful sanctuary rich in history and legend. Surrounded by woodlands and accessible via a reconstructed bridge, Comana Monastery combines spiritual importance with the intrigue of one of Romania’s most enigmatic historical figures.
Snagov Monastery
Tucked away on an island in Lake Snagov and shrouded by forest, this ancient monastery is believed by many to be the final resting place of Vlad Țepeș, better known as Dracula. With archaeological traces dating back to the Bronze and Iron Ages, Snagov is not only a religious site but also a place of mystery and legend, attracting visitors in search of both spirituality and history.
Peleș Castle
Set in the picturesque town of Sinaia, Peleș Castle is a masterpiece of German neo-Renaissance architecture. Commissioned in 1873 by King Carol I, it became the world’s first castle powered entirely by locally produced electricity. The lavish interiors, themed rooms, and royal collections make this castle a must-see for lovers of art, history, and grandeur.
Bran Castle
Perhaps the most iconic castle in Romania, Bran Castle sits atop a rocky precipice and is famed worldwide as "Dracula’s Castle." Originally built by the Teutonic Knights and later reimagined by the Saxons in 1377, the castle boasts imposing towers, medieval charm, and a storied past. Now a museum, it displays Queen Marie’s elegant furniture and art, surrounded by the mythos of Vlad the Impaler and gothic romance.
