What to expect

  1. Mogosoaia Palace
    Pass by
    rst, we arrive at Mogoșoaia, a stunning 300-year-old estate that looks like it was lifted straight out of a fairytale. Built in a unique architectural style that mixes Venetian romance with Ottoman opulence, this palace is a photographer's dream. Walk through the lush lakeside gardens, explore the grand courtyards, and discover the scandalous, glamorous lives of Romania's elite noble families.
  2. Snagov Monastery
    Pass by
    Next, we head deep into the ancient forests to Snagov Lake. Sheltered on a serene island reached by a footbridge sits a medieval monastery with a dark reputation. This isolated church is the legendary final resting place of Vlad the Impaler (the real-life Count Dracula). Together, we’ll stand before his mysterious tomb, look at the ancient frescoes, and separate the Hollywood myths from the thrilling historical truth.
