Your adventure begins at the resplendent Peles Castle, nestled amidst the idyllic Carpathian Mountains. Constructed between 1873 and 1914 for King Carol I, this architectural marvel is a fine example of German Renaissance design. As you step inside, you'll be transported back in time to the heyday of Romanian royalty, surrounded by intricate wood carvings, exquisite stained glass windows, and sumptuous furnishings. Our expert guides will lead you through the stately ground floor, sharing fascinating historical anecdotes as you explore the grand hall, elegant reception rooms, and opulent dining hall adorned with ornate murals.
