Peleș + Cantacuzino Castles Tour

Are you ready to explore Transylvania's rich legacy? Join us on this excursion from Brasov, as we journey into the heart of Romania to uncover the stunning Pele? and Cantacuzino Castles, steeped in history.

Description

At the designated time, we'll pick you up from your accommodation in Brasov and head southwards towards one of Transylvania's most picturesque towns, situated in Romania's core.

After a brief 50-minute drive, we will arrive at Sinaia to commence a guided visit to Pele? Castle. This spectacular castle, styled in Bavarian architecture and nestled within a lush forest, served as the residence for Romanian royals in the 19th century and is renowned as one of Europe's most exquisite castles. During the tour, we will explore various rooms featuring well-preserved furnishings and stunning original decorations.

After our exploration of Pele? Castle, we will embark on a brief scenic tour of the surrounding town. This will include a visit to the Sinaia Monastery, established in 1695 by Prince Mihail Cantacuzino, along with a stop at the Old Church, which has recently regained its former glory following a restoration in 2016. Following this, you will have approximately 45 minutes to enjoy lunch in Sinaia's historic center.

Once we've regrouped after lunch, we will continue our journey northward to Cantacuzino Castle, where another guided tour awaits. Constructed in a neoroman style during the early 20th century, this remarkable palace is celebrated for its prominent Roman mosaics and exquisite Murano glass chandeliers.

After concluding the tour, we will begin our return trip to the hotels in Brasov, where we expect to arrive after approximately 6.5 hours together.
