4.5Mănăstirea Sinaia(800 reviews) - Beautiful Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Religious Sites
Extremely beautiful monastery, a must in Sinaia. I specially loved the small older chapel with the classic representation of hell to the right and heaven to the left, with beautiful colours and fun torture for the sinners :) There is a payable parking space right beside the monastery. In fact it's also kinda between Peles castle also, so its perfect to visit them "together" as there is a pleasant walk through the woods connecting them!See more..

4.0Snagov Monastery(272 reviews) - Impressive interior Religious Sites
Monastery said to be the final resting place of Vlad (Count) Tepes, also known as Vlad Dracula.See more..
Definitely worth a visit. We drove from Sinaia instead of getting the cable car after reading how long people have to wait for the cable car. The road up is very scenic which is definitely worth stopping at points but the drive is not for anyone who isn't confident with driving. September is a relatively quiet time so the drive wasn't so bad. You park a bit away from the monastery and you walk up to it. The monastery apparently was burnt down a few times and it was rebuilt in approx 2006 I think. The cave was amazing. I think they should charge more than 10lei for entrance but hey... Take up on the offer for helmets if you are tall. You will need it.See more..

4.5Cernica Monastery(24 reviews) - Lovely monastery but unfriendly monks Religious Sites
The place is well worth a visit, not far from the city center of Bucharest by taxi or bus. It is extremely clean, and the residence of the monks is luxurious. It seems that most of them are more concern by donations and gastronomy (try to peep in their wall painted canteen, it is splendid) than by religion. There is a beautiful lake next to the monastery. Don't miss that place when you visit Bucharest!See more..

If you are near Bucharest and need a few hours of full peace and relaxation, just visit this place. Inside of the Monastery you can find a small piece of the Holy Cross of the Christ and many other relics. The history of the place is very interesting and near of it you can find a very beautiful lake.See more..
5.0Manastirea Carmelitana(4 reviews) - Una de las más bellas construcciones religiosas modernas de Europa Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites • Churches & Cathedrals
Confieso que estaba impaciente por conocer esta iglesia singular, inaugurada en 2015. Y he tenido la suerte de visitarla ahora (septiembre 2018) y de pasar una jornada en ese lugar con un grupo de amigos. Es un monasterio carmelita para el siglo XXI, que imita en parte las construcciones de los monasterios ortodoxos famosos en todo el mundo y una iglesia construida por dentro en madera laminar. Si visitan Snagov, no dejen de pasar a visitar esta maravilla.See more..
