BUCHAREST TO Snagov Monastery and Mogosoaia Palace half-day tour by eddie
Ready to explore Bucharest surroundings? Snagov Monastery and the legend of Vlad the Impaler, Mogosoaia Palace and its founder - Constantin Brancoveanu - The Prince of Gold. History, nature, stories, an enjoyable trip by Eddie
Snagov Monastery is located north of Bucharest, in the middle of an idyllic landscape. The first documents attesting the existence of a monastic settlement here dates back to the time of Mircea the Elder, grandfather of Vlad the Impaler. However Prince Vlad is the one who is credited as the founder of this monastery and he built here the first wall church.
Mogosoaia Palace was built in the early 18 century by a very important ruler of Wallachia, Constantin Brancoveanu, as a summer residence.
If you want to leave the bustle of the city and get immersed in the tranquility and charm of Bucharest surroundings, this half-day tour is a great choice.
