The tour begins with a visit to Peles Castle in Sinaia, one of the most impressive royal residences in Europe. Built between 1873 and 1914 for King Carol I, the castle features over 160 rooms, each designed in a distinct architectural style.
Inside, you will see richly decorated halls inspired by European and Oriental influences, reflecting the taste and vision of the Romanian royal family.
Just a short walk away, Pelisor Castle offers a more intimate atmosphere. Built for King Ferdinand and Queen Marie, this residence stands out through its artistic design and personal character.
The interior reflects Queen Marie’s influence, with unique decorative elements and a warmer, more personal royal setting.
A brief stop at Sinaia Monastery adds historical depth to the route. Founded in 1695, the monastery gave the town its name and remains an important religious landmark.
The architecture and setting offer a quiet contrast to the grandeur of the nearby castles.
Continue to Busteni, where Cantacuzino Castle rises with a strong Neo-Romanian architectural style. Built in 1911 by Prince Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino, the residence reflects wealth, influence, and refined taste.
The surrounding park, terraces, and views toward the Bucegi Mountains create one of the most photogenic locations in the region. The castle also gained recent international attention as a filming location for the series Wednesday.
The final stop is Bran Castle, a medieval fortress completed in 1382. Positioned on a rocky cliff, it offers a strong visual presence and a mix of history and legend.
The castle is often linked to the Dracula story, but the visit also reveals its real role as a strategic defense point and royal residence. Interior guiding follows local regulations, with explanations provided before and after the visit.
