Your journey begins with a convenient meeting in central Bucharest before heading north through the Romanian countryside.

The first stop is Snagov Monastery, beautifully located on a small island in the middle of Snagov Lake. According to local tradition, this peaceful monastery is believed to be the burial place of Vlad III, also known as Vlad the Impaler – the historical figure who inspired the famous Dracula legend.

Cross the footbridge to the monastery and step inside the church to see the tomb traditionally associated with Vlad. Your guide will share the fascinating story of the real Vlad the Impaler, separating myth from historical facts while explaining his role in the history of medieval Wallachia.

The tour continues to one of Romania’s most impressive underground attractions: Slănic Prahova Salt Mine, among the largest salt mines in Europe.

After descending deep underground, you will enter enormous chambers carved entirely from salt. The mine’s vast galleries, towering walls and unique formations create a spectacular subterranean landscape unlike anything above ground.
As you explore the galleries, you will learn about the history of salt extraction in the region and discover how the mine has become both a major tourist attraction and a place known for its clean, mineral-rich air and constant temperature.
