The Legend Begins: Snagov Monastery & Dracula’s Tomb.
Our journey sets off early towards the tranquil Snagov Lake to visit the Snagov Monastery.

Your professional live guide will lead you across the bridge to reveal the chilling history and ancient frescoes of this mystical site, providing a perfect, mysterious start to your day.
Subterranean Marvel: Slanic Prahova Salt Mine.
Next, we head to the Slanic Prahova Salt Mine, the largest of its kind in Europe. Descend 208 metres below the surface into a salt cathedral with 50-meter-high ceilings and a unique, healing microclimate.
