About Sinaia
Sinaia is Romania's most beautiful mountain resort — the 'Pearl of the Carpathians', a royal spa town at 860–1,400m altitude in the Prahova Valley where the Romanian royal family built their summer residences and where the Carpathian scenery of forested slopes, mountain peaks and the clear mountain air created one of the most fashionable resort destinations in early 20th-century Europe. The town is dominated by Peleș Castle (Castelul Peleș) — the fairy-tale royal palace built by King Carol I in 1873–1914 in a breathtaking neo-Renaissance and German Gothic style with elaborately carved woodwork, Venetian glass, Murano chandeliers and 160 richly appointed rooms — one of the most extraordinary royal palaces in Europe and the most visited tourist site in Romania.
Peleșor Castle — the smaller, more intimate Art Nouveau palace built for Crown Prince Ferdinand and Princess Marie next to Peleș — and the 17th-century Sinaia Monastery (the oldest institution in the town, founded 1695, giving the town its name) complete the extraordinary heritage ensemble of royal Sinaia. The ski resort above the town — with cable cars climbing to the Bucegi plateau at 2,000m+ — offers the best ski infrastructure in Romania in winter and extraordinary mountain hiking on the plateau (with the famous Sphinx and Babele rock formations) in summer. The mountain air, the royal heritage and the authentic Carpathian landscape make Sinaia the most rewarding single destination accessible from Bucharest.
Important Transfer Information
Peleș Castle: Peleș Castle is the masterpiece of Romanian royal architecture and one of the most extraordinary palaces in Europe — 160 rooms in German Renaissance style with exceptional craftsmanship in every surface, the personal vision of King Carol I of the Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen dynasty who spent 40 years building and furnishing it. Guided tours of the main rooms are essential. Advance ticket booking strongly recommended in summer and weekends.
Bucegi Mountains and Plateau: The Bucegi Mountains above Sinaia — accessible by cable car from the town centre to the plateau at 2,000m — offer some of the most spectacular mountain walking in Romania, with the famous Sphinx (a naturally eroded rock formation resembling the Egyptian Sphinx) and Babele (mushroom-shaped erosion rocks) as the main objectives. The panoramic views from the plateau over the Prahova Valley and the Carpathian ranges are exceptional.
Mountain Road Journey: The transfer from OTP Airport to Sinaia follows the Prahova Valley — passing through Câmpina and climbing through increasingly dramatic mountain scenery. The valley road (DN1) and the parallel motorway (A3, partially complete) pass through Bușteni and Predeal before descending to Sinaia. Journey time of approximately 111 minutes includes the mountain road section north of Ploiești.
