Overview
In 1690, a Wallachian nobleman built a small monastery inspired by his voyage to Mount Sinai; a village developed around it. In the 1860s, attracted by the area's wild beauty, Romania's first king, Charles I, decided to build his summer residence here, which would become Peles Castle. Soon, the place became the favorite resort of the Romanian upper classes, who started building their luxurious holiday villas in the area.
The tour also includes the guided tour inside the Peles Castle (but YOU HAVE TO BY the tickets at the entrance or online before - 50 lei the first floor or 100 lei two floors, studenst and seniors have a big discount), these chalet revival fantasy castles pay homage to nearly every architectural style in Europe as well as including all the mod-cons, such as lifts, central heating, plumbing, and electric skylights. Peleş contains a large armory collection, secret passages, a hall of mirrors, and everything a fairy tale castle 'should' have.
Impressive hotels, casino, modern restaurants, and shops followed, which, by the end of the 19th century, turned Sinaia from an obscure village into Romania's unofficial summer capital.
Participation only with a reservation.
