Highlights
The tour to Peles and Cantacuzino castles comprises beauty and history in one. Peles is Europe's first electrified castle with all modern utilities including central heating, running hot and cold water, central vacuum cleaner, an electrical elevator and much more already from the beginning of the 20th century.
Visiting Peles Castle is almost like being inside an art work itself, every step we take inside we get mesmerized by every small detail, the different carvings, paintings and furniture piece competing with well known castles and palaces around the world.
Cantacuzino Castle was the summer home of a well known politician of the 19th century Grigore Cantacuzino. He used to be one of the wealthiest man in Romania at that time and decided to construct this authentic monument with a breathtaking panorama to the Bucegi Mountains. The Castle constructed in Neo-Romanian architectural style is surrounded with alleys and pathways which lead to fountains, waterfalls and small caves.
