We stayed in an Airbnb in Sinaia and used it as a base to go to Bran and Brasov. Peles is right in Sinaia. Have fun.

Pestera Ialomitei and Peles Castle in one day? (4 Replies)

My partner and I will be staying in Brasov for a few days next month, and are interested in seeing Pestera Ialomitei as well as Peles Castle. We understand that it's possible to take a cable car from Busteni to Babele and another cable car from Babele to Pestera Ialomitei. I have seen comments about long queues for cable cars, so we would go in the middle of the week to try to minimize that as much as possible. We’re thinking of taking an early CFR train from Brasov to Busteni, then taking...More

It's possible - if you leave very early from Brasov, so that you reach Busteni with at least one hour before the cable car starts (it starts at 8.30) .

Direct transit from Bucharest airport (OTP) to Brasov (9 Replies)

Hello, We are arriving in Bucharest around 2:30 pm and would like to go directly to Brasov. What is the best way ? I know there is a direct bus transport from Bucharest airport to Brasov. How is that? Is that a minibus / van for 3 hours? I arrive on a Monday so getting off at Sinaia after 1.5 hr would not work to see the Peles castle. I see most talk about going into Bucharest, garde de Nord, via bus # 780/ # 783 and taking the train. There seem to be a shuttle bus & train from...More

Thank you David. I thought as much. I will take the # 780 to the train. Judging from the forum, many have done so without a hitch.

Peles Castle to Bucharest Airport (2 Replies)

We are in Brasov for two days (mon and tues) and travel home to England on the Wednesday. However Peles castle is closed on mon and tues. Our flight coming home is at 6pm on Wednesday from Bucharest airport. Would it be possible to travel to peles castle for when it opens at 9am Wednesday, look round, and then continue by public transport to Bucharest airport? We would need to be there for 4pm. Also, as a second option, is it possible to still look round the grounds of the castle on the days...More

Careful of opening hours.

We haven't been yet, but the website says it opens at 9.15am. We have just been advised that it opens at 11am so plan accordingly.

This is clearly a hugely popular spot with Romanians, after being closed for around 20 years when it was a favourite resort of the Communist leadership. The castle was built in the 1870s as a summer palace for the Romanian royalty, and its interior is...More

Peles castle

Of all the attractions in my recent visit to Bulgaria, Serbia, and Romania, peles castle was my favorite. Most of the interior is woodwork using either rosewood or walnut. The craftsmanship is exquisite.

It was closed even though the webpage said it was open.

We are able to walk around the outside and take a few photos. 65 Lei entrance to the first floor and more for the higher floor plus photo fee. A little run down but interesting. And a good uphill walk to get there.
