Nestled in the heart of the Bucegi Mountains, Sinaia is Romania’s most elegant mountain resort and the “Pearl of the Carpathians,” where the magnificent Peleș Castle—King Carol I’s fairy-tale summer residence—rises in neo-Renaissance splendor with its ornate wood-carved interiors, stained-glass windows, and lavish royal apartments surrounded by lush English gardens, while the nearby Pelișor Castle offers a more intimate Art Nouveau gem with Art Deco touches and the famous Golden Room. The town itself enchants with its charming pedestrian streets, the historic Sinaia Monastery (founded in 1695) with its painted frescoes and peaceful cloister, and the scenic cable car ride up to the Bucegi Plateau for panoramic views, hiking trails, and winter skiing—all in a sophisticated alpine retreat that perfectly blends royal history, natural beauty, and warm Romanian hospitality just 1.5 hours from Bucharest.
Savor hearty sarmale with polenta, fresh mountain trout, sweet papanasi with sour cream and jam, and crisp Dealu Mare wines amid crisp mountain air, pine-scented forests, and the unmistakable romance of a place once called the “Summer Capital of Romania.”
Sinaia isn’t just a destination—it’s the regal, mountain-embraced soul of the Carpathians—plan your Sinaia escape today!
