Bucharest

Snagov
is a small town 20 km north of Bucharest, and a quick escape from the city for many locals, with its big lake and beaches. Visit the small monastery on the island in the middle of the lake, where the grave of Vlad III lies better known as Dracula or Vlad The Impaler. Note that the route from the highway to the monastery is not very well signposted from the highway and quite hard to get to, and you will need to rent a boat
Mogoşoaia
is yet another small town close to Bucharest 5 km, featuring a large late 17th century palace in the unique Brâncovenesc style.
Buşteni
get a trip to our small town from the Prahova Valley by train, take the Gondola lift and see the Omu mountain, The Babele or our Natural-Made Sphinx.
Sinaia
is easily seen as a day trip from Bucharest taking the train is the recommended option. Do not miss the beautiful Peleş Castle.

Bucharest is one of the starting points for trips inside Romania. See the country article for longer trips.
