Discover the Pelisor Castle, a smaller yet equally enchanting royal residence located on the Peles estate. Designed in the Art Nouveau style, it was built for King Ferdinand I and Queen Marie.

Tip: Respect the religious nature of the site; modest dress is recommended.
Experience the scenery of the Carpathian Mountains by taking a cable car ride from here up to Cota 1400 or even higher to Cota 2000. Enjoy vistas of the Prahova Valley, forests, and the peaks.

Take a leisurely stroll through the town, admiring its architecture, elegant villas, and the Park (Dimitrie Ghica Park). The park features a lake, a casino building (now a conference center), and pleasant walking paths.
Tip: The park offers a relaxing break and a chance to enjoy the town's resort atmosphere.
Admire the architecture of the Casino, a building commissioned by King Carol I. While no longer operating as a casino, it now serves as a conference center and cultural venue.
Tip: The exterior architecture is worth seeing, and it's located within the Park.
