From the picture in the website, this looks like a fairy-tale castle, I would need to make a trip to witness it myself.
Peles Castle is located in the mountain in Prahava County, Romania. Tons of history behind it.
Take a 2-hours scenic drive from Bucharest. We finally reached...
 |
| Parking our car at the public carpark, take a 10 mins up-slope stroll to the castle. Not too far though... |
 |
| LOOK AT THAT... WOW... I thought I am just looking at a poster... |
There are stalls on the left side of the street, before entering to the castle, selling souvenirs and handicrafts...
 |
| Entrance Fee is reasonable... |
Peles Castle is built between 1873 and 1914. Even after a century, all furnishing are still intact (according to the guide). Every piece of the furniture is an antique. Very well maintained...
On top of the entrance fee, you have to pay a premium in order to allow you to take photo inside the castle. Since you travel all the way here, might as well take some photos to keep as a memory right??? **gags**

| Entrance Hall... Look at those sculptures on the wall... |

| This amour weighing around 100 kg. Pity those warriors... |

There are basically too many photos to be post here... 3 of us, with 3 cameras... we took almost 300 photos in 1 castle... Every piece of sculpture, vase, furniture...etc
Worth a visit!
