Sinaia

Few towns in Prahova have a past as closely linked to Romania’s royal family as Sinaia. Set on the eastern flank of the Bucegi Mountains, the town became a leading royal retreat in the late 19th century. Peleș Castle, commissioned by King Carol I as a summer residence, remains its defining landmark; its furnished interiors combine several historicist styles. Nearby Sinaia Monastery, founded in 1695 by the nobleman Mihail Cantacuzino, gave the town its name and remains an active Orthodox monastery. Sinaia also lies on the rail route between Bucharest and Brașov, reinforcing its long-standing role as a mountain destination.
