The Pearl of the Carpathians!
In a breathtaking mountain landscape, stands this wonderful village with picturesque architecture. Sinaia is one of the obligatory stops for a tour in Transylvania, south of Brasov, which is just about 50 km away.
The city is located along the spectacular and evocative stretch of the Prahova valley, one of the most beautiful of all the Carpathians, east of the Bucegi Mountains, following the course of the homonymous river between mountains and pine forests. Against the backdrop of Mount Sinai, Charles I of Romania built, in the 19th century, his summer residence, Peles Castelul; the building, with the Sinaia Monastery, from which the city would have taken its name, is one of the most beautiful cultural sites in the area.
