Pearl of the Carpathians and royal mountain retreat
Sinaia is the Carpathian jewel, a mountain resort town built around Peleș Castle—a 19th-century royal palace of such fantastical, elaborate design that it looks transplanted from a Wagner opera. The castle, set in forested mountains, housed Romanian royalty and now houses their treasures. The town's fresh mountain air, proximity to hiking, and proximity to ski resorts make Sinaia a favorite escape for Bucharest's elite.
