Car Hire in Sinaia - Mini guide to Sinaia

The city of Sinaia, located 122kms from Bucharest, is known as the ""Pearl of the Carpathians"" because of its royal castle and majestic mountain scenery. And although technically in the Wallachia province, it has more in common with nearby Transylvanian towns which you can visit with cheap car hire in Sinaia.

The first settlement on this spot was the preserve of a few shepherds and hermits though it later grew into an exclusive aristocratic resort. Today it is full of holidaymakers looking to ski or walk in the Bucegi mountains.

If you arrive by train then the first historical site to take note of is the town's station itself. The Iron Guard slaughtered Liberal leader Ion Duca here in 1933, a mere three weeks after he took office as prime minister. There is ample parking here if you choose car hire in Sinaia.

Up from the station is a small park with casino, a pair of turn-of-the-century hotels, a natural history museum and the Palace and the Caraiman. Past the park, Strada Manastirii takes you up to Sinaia Monastery which was constructed in 1690 where a hermitage once stood.

And behind the monastery, a short drive with car rental in Sinaia, is possibly the most famous destination in the country of Peles Castle. Set in a large English-style park, the 1875-built castle resembles a Bavarian Schloss.
