All about the trip

We will start our journey with a visit to the fascinating Mogoșoaia Palace, placed outside the city in a beautiful area. The Palace is the best example of Brâncoveanu architecture, a style very much spread around the Wallachia region. The Palace was built by the ruler Constantin Brancoveanu in 1702. After the execution of Constantin Brancoveanu in Constantinople in 1714, the palace continued to be owned by the family and it was renovated since 1912. In the present, the palace hosts the Museum of Brancoveanu Art and it is an important tourist attraction.

Then we will move on towards one of the most famous sights in Romania and the place where Dracula is supposed to be buried – Snagov Monastery. The Monastery is located on an island in the northern part of Snagov Lake. The monastery was built by Mircea the Elder (the grandfather of the famous Dracula). During its history, the monastery was rebuilt by Vlad the Impaler and some other rulers of Wallachia. It has been one of the strongest fortified churches and maybe the richest in Wallachia for a long time in the Medieval period.

After enjoying this great tour, it is time to head back towards the capital city. The tour ends with drop-off by your hotel in Bucharest.
