I am running out of superlatives here. I have visited this monastery many timesover the years and I am happy to say that it seems to get better every time. It is well maintained and clean, providing neccessary facilities for tourists, and everything people coming to pray or meditate may need. More recently, the old little chapel has been restored and opened to visitors. It is beautiful in its age and simplicity. One more reason to stop over and spend a quiet contemplative time.

What a lovely place Queen Mary and King Ferdinand built! Intimate, cosy, charming. The touch of this great couple can be seen in this whole castle. The heart of the queen rests in the Golden Room. One of the most charming castles I have visited.

This easy to miss place right next to the train station is like a little magic land. It has one very big maquette of Sinaia with running trains and ski lifts and lots of things also. It has a little cafe, few souvenirs and a play space for kids. It's a wonderful cheap stop by

The house is beautiful and it has an incredible feel to it as you imagine what masterpieces were maybe composed here and sang here. The ladies from the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The tour is nice. You can also take an audio tour for 5 lei a piece. There are also some souvenirs. For a clasical music enthusiast or romanian history enthusiast, be sure to visit.
