Salt chambers change how you picture scale. At Slănic Prahova Salt Mine, you’ll look up at huge trapezoid-shaped chambers and see a salt lake and waterfall from a bridge. What I really like is that the trip is plug-and-play: pickup from Central Bucharest plus an air-conditioned ride takes the stress out of getting there. You … Read more

Bucharest’s Parliament Palace feels unreal at first. It is the Communist-era showpiece of Romania’s capital: huge, angular, and packed with marble, crystal, and ornate interiors. I especially like the way the tour is guided enough to make the building make sense. You get a clear walkthrough of major spaces, and on the better days the … Read more
