Sinaia, Romania: A Glimpse of Transylvania
The gorgeous small town of Sinaia, Romania in Transylvania attracts a lot of hikers and vampire novel lovers. With the Bucegi Mountains as its backdrop, enjoy the delicious feeling of a good scare while hiding away in this much less-admired part of Romania. Connect with the Henri Coanda International Airport from Bucharest, Romania, or arrive through Bucharest by the Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport, then take a longer scenic drive through the mountain side.
Best Time to Visit
Even if it is right in the middle of mountain country, Sinaia’s winds are calm. You can’t deny the cold though, as temperatures can drop as low as -1° during the winter months. From June to August, visitors come to take advantage of the relatively warm weather. These months are the best time to visit and explore at the town at your leisure. For the best Sinaia, Romania hotel deals, visit in the off-season months.
What to Do & Area Attractions
Don’t miss the town’s main attraction, the Peles Castle. Designed with different-themed rooms, it is currently receiving much needed attention by tourists who are big fans of vampire sagas. Another landmark is Sinaia Monastery, where original Byzantine paintings are still displayed on the walls. If you came to ski, Sinaia Ski Resort is highly recommended by the locals. You can book at the nearby 4-star Hotel Boutique Belvedere, and the charming New Montana Hotel. The 4-star Smart is also a wonderful option when you have a vacation in Sinaia.
