Itinerário dia a dia
Our journey begins in Bucharest, where within about an hour, we’ll reach the Slanic Prahova Salt Mine—Europe’s largest salt mine. Unique to Romania and Europe, Slanic Prahova is renowned for its therapeutic environment, boasting air with a high concentration of sodium ions that provide remarkable respiratory benefits. Inside the mine, you’ll find facilities like playgrounds, a sports ground, billiard tables, and a bar, making it a perfect blend of relaxation and recreation.
Next, we visit Sinaia to explore Peles Castle, the former summer residence of King Carol I. This architectural masterpiece, a stunning example of German Neo-Renaissance style, is often considered one of Europe’s most beautiful castles. Sinaia itself grew around the Sinaia Monastery, founded in 1695.
In Brașov, take a stroll around the historic Old Town Hall Square (Piata Sfatului), where colorful Baroque buildings and ornate architecture line the streets. Don’t miss the narrow Rope Street (Strada Sforii), one of the narrowest streets in Europe, which was originally used by firefighters.
