Head to Snagov Monastery, located on a small island in the middle of Snagov Lake. According to local legend, this monastery is the burial place of Vlad the Impaler, the historical ruler who inspired the Dracula myth. Accessible by a footbridge, the monastery offers a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by nature.

Inside the church, see the alleged tomb of Vlad III and learn about the true history behind the Dracula story. Your guide will explain the difference between legend and documented history while sharing fascinating insights into medieval Wallachia.
