Description
Explore Slănic Salt Mine & Bran Castle from Bucharest!
Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your accommodation in Bucharest. Settle into your plush minivan seat, enjoy the complimentary onboard Wi-Fi and water, and watch the busy city streets transform into peaceful rolling hills.
Descend more than 208 meters underground into a jaw-dropping subterranean world at Slănic Prahova, the largest salt mine in Europe. Marvel at cathedral-like salt chambers reaching 54 meters in height, view impressive salt sculptures, and breathe in the ultra-pure, naturally therapeutic ionized air. All elevator/shuttle transfers and entrance tickets are pre-booked and included.
Relax at a handpicked local tavern nestled in the Carpathian foothills. Savor an authentic multi-course Romanian lunch featuring local cheeses, slow-cooked meats, and traditional desserts (with vegetarian options available).
Cross into magical Transylvania to visit Romania's most famous dramatic landmark, perched high on a 200-foot rock face. Walk through mysterious winding staircases, secret timbered passages, and Gothic towers while your guide separates the real history of Vlad the Impaler from the myth of Bram Stoker's Count Dracula. Skip-the-line VIP entry tickets mean you bypass the massive crowds and walk straight inside.
Re-board your comfortable minivan for a relaxing drive back to Bucharest.
