Hotels in Ilfov, Romania

Ilfov is the county encircling Bucharest, Romania, with a temperate-continental climate-summers hit 86°F (30°C) and winters drop to 23°F (-5°C). It's famous for the 17th-century Mogosoaia Palace and its lake, plus Snagov Monastery (said to hold Vlad the Impaler's grave) on Snagov Lake. In summer, you can kayak on the lake or cycle the forest trails; in winter, ice skate on the frozen lake or tour the palace's heated interiors. For a cheaper stay, skip Bucharest and base yourself in Otopeni's airport hotels, with free shuttle access to the city's museums and nightlife.
