Three days is ideal — the capital on day one, a Transylvania day trip to Dracula’s and Peleș castles on day two, and the Slănic salt mine or Black Sea coast on day three.
What is the best day trip from Bucharest for 3 days?
Transylvania’s castles are the most iconic, the salt mine the most unusual, and the Black Sea coast the most relaxing; all reward a third day.
