A morning in Bucharest begins with the city breathing around you: tram bells along Calea Victoriei, plaster façades cooling in shade, and a private car idling at the curb. This eight‑hour circuit moves from the compact open‑air Village Museum—wooden houses and windmills that speak of rural Romania—to the marble strictness of the Ceaușescu family’s Primăverii residence, and then out of the city to Snagov Island, where local lore places Vlad Țepeș’s burial.
