PELES CASTLE - Exploring the MOST Spectacular Castle in ROMANIA (Sinaia Romania)

Peles Castle - Exploring the Most Spectacular Castle in Romania. Peles Castle is located in the beautiful small town of Sinaia, Romania. A must-do day trip when visiting Bucharest or Brasov. The castle is nestled in the Carpathian Mountains making it one of the most picturesque fairy-tale-like castles we've seen so far. The intricate design throughout the castle's interior of hand-painted murals, colorful stained glass, heavily carved woods, and exquisite fabrics make Peles Castle a must-see while visiting Romania. Peles Castle was constructed for King Carol I in the late 19th century and took just 10 years to build, impressive!

Wow, wow! Great video guys. I had a colleague, many years ago, originally from Romania and on her way back to NYC she brought back souvenirs from the castle (as well as Romanian wine). I always wondered what it looked like. Really nice to finally see this beautiful, impressive castle and surrounding town. Don't know if I'll ever get to go to Romania, but I really appreciate your videos as it gives such a wonderful glimpse into places in Europe that are less travelled.

Thank you for stopping in the little town of Sinaia, people usually skip this on the way to Brașov witch is a shame. The hole area around Sinaia has lots of hiking trails, cable carts (way higher than Tâmpa in Brașov) caves and waterfalls etc The Bucegi plateu is a stone's throw away from Sinaia (less than 10km) cable car all the way up there , there you can find the sfinx rock formation, natural wonder and holy site to the Dacians But away good choice stopping in Sinaia and showing people that there's more to Romania than just Transilvania

Imagine that the prices for pretty much everything you’re seeing right now, have practically tripled from what they were in better days a few years ago (it is hard to imagine, but true).

Looking forward to your next video. Take care and stay safe. Have a wonderful time.

Hi guys, i guess you've missed the royal crown of king Carol I while visiting Peles...the interesting real story was that this crown was made out of Turkish canon iron steel, captured by the Romanian army while fighting for independence at 1877 against Otomans....this crown drawing has also been inserted on the Romania's flag and coins between 1881 and 1947; also, Peles castle was the first castle in Europe to have electricity, own heating system and vacuum cleaner at the time

Too bad you did not want to see Pelisor ("Little Peles"), you would have been surprised. I loved it much more than the big castle. It's a lot less spectacular, but a lot cozier. Like a true family home, not a museum.

Hi, DeeDee. We probably should have gone to see the Pelisor. By that time of day, we were ready for some food and drink and weren't thinking right. 😀 Thank you for watching!!! Cheers!!!🍻

[@DukeOfTheYard]

@@BrianandCarrie Pelisor was built at the order of Princess Mary (later Queen Mary) of Romania. She hated Peles' style, considering it too opressive and dark. Thus she had Pelisor built which is made (on the inside) in Mediteranean (particularly Italian) style: less carvings, more light, white furniture etc.

Looks like you missed Sinaia Monastery. Is on the way to the palace but looks like you took the way around it . Is a beautiful place worth stopping by . The little palace Pelisor is more home like , less grand more livable but it has a room totaly covered in gold . Is definetly worth visiting . Corvin Castle in Hunedoara is bare inside mostly but is a proper medieval castle, like the one in stories . Very impressive arhitecture. Alba Iulia a great fortress . Sighișoara is a wonderful farytale little medieval town . There are amazing monasteries in Oltenia region . If you have time go to Horezu Monastery, Cozia Monastery . They also make traditional pottery in Horezu . Caves and traditional fortified houses near by too . That will be something most people dont film in România. If you are near Constanța or Tulcea on 15 August is Saint Mary day , the Navy Day and there are big celebrations in all port towns . Moldova has great monasteries near Suceava and Neamț . If you are near a salt mine try it

Hello to you both! Nice videos! If you are planning to stay for a little bit more, try to get to the next places that I'm going to tell you about. The first would be the Transfagarasan Highway. Built in the 70's (in case of an invasion), it goes from Wallachia to Transylvania. The second would be the Transaplina. This one originaly built by the romans around 104 to conquer the Dacians (our ancestors), than rebuilt in the 1930's and modernised around 8-10 years ago. Third one would be the remainings of this Sarmizegetusa Regia (the City and Castle of Dacians) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarmizegetusa_Regia. Wish you all the best!

This is great information, Andrei. We will be in Romania for another month, however, we won't have a car. We are traveling by train or bus so getting to some places is difficult. We are finding out that two months is not enough time to see everything Romania has to offer. Thank you again for adding this information to the channel! Cheers!!!🍻

Next destination in Oradea?

[@BrianandCarrie]

We will be in Oradea in a couple weeks. We were in Sighisoara before arriving in Sibiu and will be in Cluj-Napoca before we go to Oradea.

I laughed right after you said 10 min .. kind of yeah yeah right.. you will regret not taking a cab 🚕 🤪… it is the most beautiful castle of Romania but as well one of the most beautiful in the whole world.. there are other castles prettier on the outside but empty on the inside..i’ve had tourists from all over the world saying it and they visited a lot of the world castles before coming to Romania as this is not usually a top destination.. you come here once you’ve seen the rest of the world 🤓..you were lucky because until a few years ago filming and taking pictures was forbidden in the castle..

[@BrianandCarrie]

I (Brian) always regret not taking a cab!! We did love the castle and the town of Sinaia as well. We haven't seen many castles to this point of our journey but wouldn't expect any to be as majestic as this. Thank you for the continued support!! Cheers!!!🍻

@@BrianandCarrie is not really that far you just took the longer route , if I remember well there is a shorter road by the war heroes monument. But.. all is uphill 😅 so probably makes all look longer

We love all the History that you have added to the channel, Dan! Nice work!! Cheers!!🍻

only ground floor you missed on stuff ... the full tour way better.. you never know when you gonna go back there

[@BrianandCarrie]

Very true! We are budget travelers so we try to get the most we can for our dollars. We do sometimes wish we had spent extra to see and do more but for now, we have to stay within our budget as much as possible. Thank you for watching and commenting on our channel!! We appreciate the support!! Cheers!!!🍻

I see renting a car is really cheap in Romania. Just curious, why did you guys not rent a car?

[@BrianandCarrie]

Great question. Renting a car this time of year is about $190 for 3 days. With insurance and fuel adding to the cost it is out of our budget. There have only been two occasions that we wished we had a car when we were in Portugal and now here in Romania. Unfortunately, a car just isn't in the budget for now. Hopefully someday soon! Thank you for watching! Cheers!!🍻

[@mdm40mdm]

@@BrianandCarrie That’s weird. We are thinking about visiting Sighisoaria in Sept and when we look at rentals out of Bucharest, they are $8-10 a day for a compact.

[@BrianandCarrie]

That is a great deal! I am looking at Cluj for next week and get $30 a day. What site are you looking on?

[@mariar3767]

@@mdm40mdm Sighișoara, Brașov, Sinaia and Bucharest are on main train lines so is easy to visit by public transport and you dont risk be stuck in trafic that is havy on Prahova Valley. A car I would recommend for visiting monasteries . You can go up Prahova Valley and return by car on Olt Valley . Beautiful route and very traditional monasteries , pottery village and caves in Oltenia region. Horezu Monastery is in an unique romanian arhitectural style. Close also to Transfăgărășan ans Transalpina mountain roads . Great day trips .
