- Peles Castle - Nestled in the heart of Romania, Peles Castle captivates visitors with its fairy-tale charm. This stunning castle, located in the mountain resort of Sinaia, served as the summer residence for King Carol I and draws tourists from around the globe.
Two years ago, international journalists recognized Peles Castle, along with Corvin Castle in Hunedoara, as one of Europe’s most spectacular structures. It stands as a key attraction in the Prahova Valley, offering visitors breathtaking views and refreshing mountain air.
Construction of the castle began in 1875, initiated by King Charles I, who was enchanted by the area’s beauty during his first visit to Sinaia. The strategic location of Peles Castle in the Prahova Valley was no coincidence, as Predeal once marked the border between Romania and Austria-Hungary.
Remarkably, Peles was the first castle in Europe to be electrified, thanks to a nearby power plant.
- Unirea Salt Mine - Situated in Slănic, Prahova County, Romania, the Slănic mine is an ancient salt mine located 100 km north of Bucharest. Although no longer used for salt extraction, it welcomes visitors to experience its unique microclimate, featuring natural air-conditioning and a consistent temperature and atmospheric pressure year-round. The mine comprises two levels, Unirea and Mihai, and is renowned for its purported health benefits due to the air’s purity. Visitors can also enjoy recreational activities, including playground equipment and ping-pong tables, throughout the mine.
