Sinaia – The Pearl of the Carpathians: A self-guided tour through royal history
Sinaia is not just a mountain resort, but an open-air museum of Romanian royalty. Located at the foothills of the Bucegi Mountains, this destination exudes an aristocratic elegance that’s hard to find anywhere else.
With our dedicated transport service, you can explore Sinaia at your own pace. Here is the itinerary we recommend:
- Peleş Castle: The jewel in the crown. Inaugurated in 1883 as the summer residence of King Carol I, it is one of the most beautiful castles in Europe. Don’t stop at the exterior only; the interior tour reveals armouries, private theatres and stunning woodwork details.
- Pelișor Castle: Located just a few meters away, it was the home of King Ferdinand and Queen Maria. It is famous for the “Art Nouveau” decor created at the Queen’s own wish.
- Sinaia Monastery: The place where the history of the town began. With its superb Byzantine architecture, the monastery is a space of profound peace.
- Cota 1400/2000: If time allows, take the cable car up to 2000 for a breathtaking panorama over the entire Prahova Valley.
Choosing a personalized tour with Almacris Invest, you eliminate the stress of parking (often impossible to find in Sinaia) and have the freedom to linger as long as you want over a coffee on the terrace of the Casino in the park.
