Nice to & walk around. Had a photo inside next to supposedly Dracula’ tomb. It's interesting seeing the alleged of Vlad the Impaler, though I'm immediately put off by the woman and her hand written piece of paper with the "fee" for tourists of 20 lei each, then you need to pay another 10 to take photos 🤔 ignored the photo fee and took them anyway, what's my 20 lei for??? Senzația pe care o trăiești privind palatul lui Ceaușescu de pe ponton este ireală! Ca și cum două lumi au coexistat fără să interfereze! Cel puțin asta cred eu! מנזר קטן עם ציורי קיר מרהיבים וסיפור קבורה של ולד המשפד. העיקר הוא מצוי בלב אי ירוק קטנטן מוקף אגם שליו וגני ורדים. עצירה של שקט. A to Snagov is more than just a trip to a historical site; it's a unique excursion to a place steeped in both spiritual and historical legend. A Journey to a Hidden Island Located on an island in the middle of Snagov, getting to the is part of the experience. The journey, often by boat, adds a sense of peaceful seclusion, making you feel as though you are leaving the modern world behind to enter a place untouched by time. The serene waters of the and the lush greenery of the surrounding area create a tranquil and setting. A Place of Legend and History The itself is a and quiet place, with a solemn atmosphere that encourages reflection. It is famous for a single, compelling reason: it is the rumored final resting place of Vlad the Impaler. While the historical truth of his burial site remains a subject of debate, visiting the small, unassuming inside the is a powerful and mysterious experience. It is a moment where history and legend collide, and you can't help but feel a sense of awe. A Worthwhile Excursion Snagov is not a simple walk-up attraction; it's a destination that requires a bit of effort to reach, but it is well worth it. The combination of the natural setting, the tranquil atmosphere of the monastery, and the captivating legend of Vlad the Impaler makes it a fascinating and memorable trip. It is a highly recommended excursion for anyone with an interest in history, legend, or simply a peaceful escape from the city. There is strong energy felt inside the Vlad the Impaler rests here, or does he just nap during the daylight hours ? Some admire the man for fighting off the Ottomans, others don't approve of his lawn decorations. Most site monastery. Vlad the Impaler is here tomb. You must go if your in the area. Very interesting and informative. The lady's there are very helpful. There is no fee to to get in only if you want to donate. The village people are very friendly. Du vol pur et simple comme indiqué dans les autres commentaires. Une femme surgit de nul part pour vous demander 20lei/personne mais seulement pour les touristes, nous avons pu vérifier cela de nos propres yeux. Elle vous interdit également de vous promener sur l'île ce qui est scandaleux surtout qd vous faites le trajet depuis Buchareste. A fuir ou a dénoncer aux autorités car le lieu pourrait etre top surtout au vue des legendes sur la tombde de Vlad. Great historical place to visit. The is only used by the monks. Is a pretty small with amazing handpainted saints on the wall. This is where allegedly Vlad Ţepeş aka Vlad The Impeller, aka, Dracula, is buried. A must visit. Superb o manastire pe insulita ,înconjurată de apă. Está bien, aunque me parece muy caro para lo que es. Ojala lo mantengan cuidado. Per me una delle attrazioni più belle nei dintorni di Bucarest, raggiungibile in macchina in circa 30-40 minuti. La chiesa è bellissima, completamente affrescata all'interno. Lo circonda un'area verde, che in estate dà sicuramente il meglio di sé. Il monastero è in fase di ristrutturazione e non visitabile, ma visibile solo dall'esterno. Alcune info pratiche: si raggiunge l'isola attraverso un ponte pedonale, prima del quale c'è un parcheggio libero e bagni pubblici, che noi abbiamo trovato molto puliti (siamo andati di domenica mattina, intorno alle 10:00); l'ingresso al sito costa 20Lei; all'interno della Chiesa non sono permesse foto. Tempo di visita 30-40 minuti Monastery, not too crowded but in my opinion overpriced. The chapel is fantastic, for real and the surroundings are incredible, it is immersed in and surrounded by nauture. Be careful, there aren't many parking a spots in the area, so check your options before going. Uwaga. Po wejściu żądają opłaty, a nie ma żadnej informacji o płatnym wstępie. Nie ma mozliwosci robienia zdjęć w środku. Ogólnie nic ciekawego. Sama wyspa najlepiej wygląda z powietrza. My first to Snagov and it was a disappointment. I’m half Romanian and been in the country several times. This place felt abandoned and not treated with care. The inside is very nice to the eye, but no feeling of being an living monastery, it’s a museum and you pay to get in. The village kids spitted after me, either because I looked like a tourist or had my rental with Bucharest plate. The village is just tragic - living on a rumour that Vlad is there. When wanting to use the public toilet, a villager came out from it and locked it, told me water wasn’t working and it’s closed. Spending a day here if you have only a few is a lost day. If you have time go to the north, Sinaia, Brasov etc and experience Romanias better side. And please release the ostrich, its animal cruelty Vă rog, eliberați struțul de la mănăstire – e pur și simplu inuman și nu se simte bine. A nice small church, very inside. Located on island, you have to cross a bridge. To enter the we had to pay around 2 Euros pro person. And you definitely have to go by car there - the buses take so long and don't seem to go regularly. From the it's about 15 minutes to the next bus stop. On the territory there's just this and a building under reconstruction. If you're a tourist from another country, you'll have to pay 20 Ron and if you want to take pictures another 10. You can park right before the bridge. Not the most immersive experience, but it was worth it to me for wanting to see the place. It's like a quick but pretty It has the of vlad the impaler, worth visiting, always you walk all around that island its peaceful but prepare yourself to pay 20 lei for each inside the itself, also pictures are not allowed inside To reach the floating on the lake, we got out of the car at the and crossed on foot. Perhaps because it was a weekday during summer vacation, we were the only visitors. The interior decoration of the is in a style seen throughout Romania, and you can take photos for a fee. Absolutely stunning monistery, very colorful a d you can pay a little extra to take photos. place, terrible management The monastery, reached by a charming little bridge, has enormous potential. But the moment you arrive, everything falls apart: animals — including an ostrich — kept in tiny muddy cages, a makeshift property vibe, and no care whatsoever. To top it off, an unfriendly man demands 20 lei just to look at the from the outside. An experience that turns a magical spot into a case study on how to sabotage local tourism. We've been there on a sunday afternoon and we paid 50 Lei for two people to see this place for 5 Minutes, cause they wanted to close. The women there were friendly but i didnt had much time to discover the monastery. :( There are a few animals here, but it isn't verly clean. This review is purely to help foreign tourists. The at the entrance will ask you to pay a €4 fee for entering if you don’t speak Romanian. Either just ignore the or nod your head and walk in. It’s not an actual legit tax, it’s a scam to trick non-Romanian tourists. Otherwise, really nice monastery. Worth the visit! Actual grounds, buildings externally and was nice to see, however at 20 LEI each to see the inside was expensive. Really not a lot here. There wasn’t much to see inside, def not worth 20 LEI ! Historic place that you must if you live vampires myth. Although the surroundings are really pretty, in order to enter the interior of the where Vlad is supposed to be they ask you to pay 20 LEI per person. We didn’t have a problem with that and asked to pay with card which they did not have so initially, they denied the entry to the and the surrounding area. The lady did not speak English at all and she also allowed others to go in without paying claiming that they are “Orthodox” and come from Romania. My partner offered her euros to go in and the grave with our little one which is a fake creation, claiming to be the grave of Vlad. We took an Uber from Bucarest, around 1 hour and 140 lei (28 euro). The place is and quiet, you can also rent a boat for the lake. You go across the and you will find some animals (goats and an ostridge??). Then we had to pay to enter the chapel were Vlad Tepes is buried. It was 20 lei or 5 euro. Entering is deffinetly worth it, its gorgeous with paintings all over the place, and then the grave of the impaler. Then you can take a couple of pictures by the and back to Bucarest, nothing else to see around. Lovely place, although the care holder at the doorstep was an old lady. Who wanted 20lei per face from us. This happened on Saturday 20sept 2025, 12:30. To my knowledge there’s no entry fee. Beware of such scoundrels. Wgen she or anyone else decides to pull it again, show this post in translation. Shame. I can only confirm the bad reviews. A random near the asked for an entrance fee of 20 lei + 10 lei for taking photos. I refuse to pay. There are no official signs or information about this fee anywhere. Payment is, of course, cash only, and you don’t receive any receipt. Shameful. Согласна с предыдущим комментарием. Так же попросили 20 лей как с туристов. Потому что я выгляжу как чистая славянка но говорю по румынски. Эта женщина на входе сделала вид что не понимает моего румынского и сказала по английски что вход для посетителей стоит 20 лей. Деньги мы вернули назад, потому что я была с румыном. Я православна и ехала туда именно для молитвы. Это недопустимо брать с людей деньги при входе в церковь. Я приеду еще раз и поговорю с настоятелем. Нет никакой совести в святом месте. Molto bello… 20 lei per una piccola chiesa ma li vala! Verry peacefully and green spot. Brilliant architecture and original religious painting inside the Vlad Tepeş monastery. The it's located on a little island and the access is made on a long over Snagov lake. You can find inside the monastery, the of emeperor Vlad Tepeş (known around the world as Dracula). The legend says that here is just his head, and the place is full of historycal symbolism. Take a ride for a breath of fresh air, some history traces and good energy. Ужасное отношение к посетителям. Сказали платить 20 лей не только за вход, но и чтобы просто погулять вокруг монастыря - это тоже платно! При этом даже после оплаты - внутри нельзя будет фотографировать. Табличек и официальных надписей об оплате нет, все на словах какой-то женщины, и неизвестно кому ты платишь. Возможно внутри красиво, но с таким отношением, совсем не хочется отдавать даже малые деньги, это просто не правильно.
