General presentation
Sinaia and the Bucegi Mountains
Heritage mountain resort, between royal castle, forests, cable cars, panoramas and hikes.
To understand what Sinaia and Bucegi Mountains are, you must look at Peleș Castle, Sinaia Monastery and Babele. These places give you a view of a territory marked by mountain reliefs, forests, heritage and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be expected: very frequented on weekends and mountain weather. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Castle
Peleș Castle
The Peleș castle combines neo-Renaissance decor, woodwork worked, arms collections and royal salons at the foot of the forests of Sinaia. Its inner richness contrasts with the mountain air surrounding it, giving a visit both fascinating and very anchored in the Carpathians.
Monastery
Sinaia Monastery
The monastery of Sinaia forms a quiet set of Orthodox courses, churches and paintings near the centre of the resort. It tells the spiritual origin of the place before the palaces and hotels, with an atmosphere more collected than the nearby popular sites.
Town or village
Babele
Babele refers to rock formations of the Bucegi plateau, shaped by erosion in rounded and strange silhouettes. The access by cable car or trail quickly places the visitor in an open altitude landscape, where the wind and the weather change the atmosphere in a few minutes.
