Sinaia – from the Bandits’ Nest to the Cradle of the Romanian Dynasty

About this experience

Sinaia is a small paradise there at the foot of the Bucegi Mountains, due to the perfect harmony between the wild nature of the forests and the architectural elegance, it has earned the name of the "Pearl of the Carpathians."

The high mountains, which keep the Dacian secrets and the endless forests of the Prahova Valley, where the medieval bandits hid, created the place of which A King fell in love. From this love in "The Cradle of His Dynasty" was born and grew the beautiful "Little Versailles".

Itinerary and highlights

I am going to tell you about the history of the King's train station, the Blue Train and the Orient Express, and I will present the Locomotive with Water Vapors.

Here I am going to tell you how they came here to try their luck the princes that came in the Orient Express and how some of them were left without their fortune

Here I am going to say how this place was full of bandits and then it becomes the refuge of the monks who took refuge in the caves.

King Carol I fell in love with this place and wanted to make it the Cradle of his Dynasty. So I deserve to tell you what was special about the Castle that was once the most modern and elegant.

The Ermosisima Reyna Maria of Romania wanted a less sober Castle for her big family, so I deserve to tell you how you lived in the house of the Kings of Greater Romania.
