Sinaia's Royal Treasures & Mountain Charm

Sinaia serves as the historic summer retreat of the Romanian royal family, centered around the Neo-Renaissance Peleș and Art Nouveau Pelișor castles. The town features architectural landmarks like the 19th-century Știrbey Castle and the Sinaia Casino, modeled after the one in Monte Carlo. Natural history and religious heritage are preserved in the Bucegi Natural Park Museum and the 17th-century Sinaia Monastery. These sites are connected by the central Dimitrie Ghica Park, established in 1881 to anchor the town's development.
