Town in Romania

Sinaia

3 things to see

Home to Peles Castle, widely considered the most beautiful castle in Romania, this Carpathian mountain resort town delivers alpine scenery at eastern European prices. The grounds and forest setting around the castle are free to wander even if you skip the paid interior tour, and marked hiking trails climb straight out of town into the Bucegi mountains at no cost. Sinaia makes a rewarding day trip or cheap overnight from Bucharest or Brasov, both reachable by inexpensive train. Spring and autumn bring thinner crowds and lower room rates than the summer and ski-season peaks.
