Most recommended place in Romania by our subscribers! 🇷🇴 Peleș Castle, Sinaia

[@er3038]

Peles Castle is actually a palace - designed for elegance, while Bran and Corvin are castles or fortified residences.

[@nanovahidy5172]

Gosh! There’s so much to learn about Romania. So much history! You must be in your elements, Steve!

[@JetLagWarriors]

👍❤️😂😂 Definitely!!

[@carlescutiberius]

As a Romanian, I would like to thank you guys, for all your videos about Romania and its places. You did a far way better job than our own government promoting Romania! Awesome!

[@danbarton3830]

You missed something, in the same town as Pelesh Castle is another famous castle from the same era, Cantacusino Castle. So, you need to return to Romania to finish your castle trip!

[@LusioEcarts]

This was and still is my favorite castle from Romania. I also love it's location. But you also could have gone to visit the Cantacuzino castle that is in Bușteni (Bushteni). Bușteni is fairly close to Sinaia (from what I remember.. I took the train from Sinaia to Bușteni and in 5 or 7 minutes max I was in Bușteni. Maybe if you go with a car you arrive there even faster). Cantacuzino is also an interesting looking castle with a beautiful view (or views.. cuz you can see some mountains too when you are in the front (main entrance) of the castle).

[@civfanatic8853]

Yes, a redemption video for Brașov. You must climb to the ”Brașov” letters or even to the top of the hill(by cablecar too) for great views and panoramas over the city. At least go up one of the 2-3 towers around for great views of the city centre too. From the top of the Tâmpa Hill, u can go down by foot, as most ppl do. Also, visit at least the Black Church while in the city :)

[@sergiupcr88]

Great videos! Really enjoy them. I used to live in Canada for about 3 years, came back to Romania in August this year, so I am sending your videos to my Canadian friends cause they kept asking me about Romania while I was there. Keep the good job you’re doing!

[@JetLagWarriors]

1:11 can't believe you have visited Poenari Castle ruins, the real Vlad Drăculea's fortress of soul! Not for the masses! Amazing guys, congrats!

[@L2Xenta]

You guys deserve a prize for the best traveled youtubers visiting Romania. You've seen a lot of places , way above average of travel channels. P.s. while Bran was a modified a bit with time, its definitely also a very medieval castle, and you are right .. has nothing to do with Vlad the Impaler, or perhaps he may have visited or be imprisoned there a while, mostly speculation. But still... Bran is actually linked to the Templar Knights, and there is also a tiny Templar Church in the castle's vicinity . (I do agree however that Corvin castle is the prettiest medieval castle, while Peles is a more modern work of art castle, or rather... a palace).

[@rajinderkaursidhu752]

I visited Peles threetimes when I was younger and living in Romania..... beautiful; the mountains are beautiful, Sinaia, Predeal, etc. I also visited Brasov and Brand several times. I spent a whole month at Bran summer camp when I was 9 or 10. Bran was not commercialized like now.... it was nice and peaceful there at the time.

[@TouchofCinnamon]

Beautiful. We're booked to visit Romania from the end of September through to the middle of October, and we wish we could stay longer.

near Peles Castle is Pelisor. smaller but as beautiful, with a room covered in gold foil. and near Brasov there are many many things to see. so you have a quite big list of things to see. Sarmisegetuza ( capital of the region 1900 years ago), Deva, Alba Iulia, Cluj, caves, the delta and many more ! oh and ! Peles was the first building in Europe to have central heating

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Don't leave yet. There are lots of places left to visit in romania. You should go to Transalpina, take a nice trip on that amazing road(Transfagarasan also but I don't know if it's open now). Parc Romanescu in Craiova(one of the biggest, if not the biggest natural parc in Europe) is also a nice one to view (the old city center is not that bad either). Moghioros parc in Bucharest is also nice. At the end of the trip, before you go to the airport, stop for a coffee or something to eat at Embassy 18 (Bucharest, the view is amazing).

Our last King-Michael I, who died in 2017, was born at Peles Castle in 1921. He was forced to abdicate in 1947, when Romania was occupied by the Red Army together with the rest of Eastern Europe. The Romanian communists then came to power for half. century, as in all countries after the Iron Curtain left in Europe after 1945. Peles Castle is one of the most representative symbols of Romanian history.kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYPJimuhotedgs0

[@boicerdiegio1709]

JetLag Warriors, I don't know who informed you with historical data but you should know that they are not correct. I know that you like history and that is why I am writing to you that the historical data say that Bran Castle once belonged to Prince Vlad the Impaler's grandfather, Prince Mircea the Old. Prince Vlad also lived in the castle whenever he waged military campaigns to punish the Saxons in southern Transylvania. Poienari Castle of Prince Vlad the Impaler was an inexpugnable fortification and strategic point of resistance. Peles Castle was the first castle in the world, electrified and equipped with an elevator. The electrical installation is the original installation from 1880.
