Itinerary
With a history that goes back to the 15th century, this former princely court was used as a residence by some of the most famous princes of Southern Romania, including the legendary Vlad the Impaler.
Built in 1640, is the only fortified laic construction in the country. The very place where pastoral nature blends with tradition and history. Encompassing a beautiful pastoral scenery still filled with the scent of the blooming linden trees, a revamped mansion of one of the oldest Romanian aristocrat families, a small bucolic village museum and lots of stories behind.
Is one of the most famous attractions in Romania. It’s also an excellent choice if you’re looking to discover centuries-old religious sites. Its unique architectural style makes it special even in Romania, a country that has hundreds of religious monuments. Built 500 years ago, the church became one of the most important in Southern Romania. Its original architecture inspired for centuries that of many other churches, but none came close to it.

About Bucharest
Belle-époque boulevards, Orthodox churches and communist-era monuments meet around a busy old town in Bucharest, Romania's capital.
The vast Palace of the Parliament, among the largest administrative buildings in the world, dominates the centre as a striking legacy of the Ceaușescu era. Calea Victoriei, the grand avenue, leads past the domed Romanian Athenaeum concert hall, the former Royal Palace that houses the National Museum of Art, and Revolution Square, where the events of 1989 unfolded.
Top-ranked sights in Bucharest: Palace of Parliament (Palatul Parlamentului), Revolution Square (Piata Revolutiei), Arcul de Triumf (Arch of Triumph).
