DRACULA's TOMB
Way fun visit to tomb of Vlad The Impaler, AKA DRACULA. The whole monastery is dedicated to Valad. It is a true monastery and obviously services are held as I noticed wine, cup ect. for communion when pekin into the vestibule behind curtain in rear. This is an ez self tour, Uber or bus will get you there, 15 lei, $4, to get in. Just go over bridge to island on arrival, holy water on tap to right@ entrance. Walls & ceilings covered with frescoes of saints and sinners, Much history and memorabilia of Valad in front chapel. Night time visiting unadvised

Nice Spot
We took the 446 regional bus from Piata Presei out to Manastirea Vlad Tepes before walking down the road for about 15 minutes and crossing the pedestrian bridge to the monastery. When we reached the island, we were a little confused as the gate was closed and there was no one there. I ended up calling the phone number and was told to enter and go to the church, where someone met us to let us into the church. It was 15 lei per person plus 10 for photographs. The monastery has a very cool interior although it is rather small so we only spent around 10 minutes inside. The big plus for me was the five adorable dogs that crowded around begging for pats as well as the variety of ponys nearby. Overall I'm glad I went although it was a bit of a long trip for such a brief experience.
