Overview

Embark on a private full-day adventure from Bucharest, blending legends, royalty, and recent communism past. Travel in the comfort of a private car, having a professional guide as your driver, while you explore sites tied to both Dracula and Ceausescu.

First, visit Snagov Palace, where the Ceausescus fled during the 1989 Revolution, and their lavish lakeside residence. Nearby, discover the mysterious Snagov Monastery—rumored burial site of Dracula himself.

Then journey to Târgoviște to visit the military base where the Ceausescus were tried and executed in December 1989, and the Princely Court—Dracula’s former stronghold and the first capital of Wallachia.

After a lunch break in an iconic restaurant, continue to the stunning Brâncoveanu Palace in Potlogi, a masterpiece of Neo-Romanian architecture and home to the dramatic story of one of Romania’s wealthiest rulers.
This immersive tour offers a thrilling dive into the power, intrigue, and legacy of Romania’s most iconic figures.
