About this tour
This session walks Sinaia's older streets, built up around the royal court that once gathered near Peleș Castle. You see buildings that once served the wider royal household, then a church associated with the family's time here. The session stays within the town rather than the castle grounds.
We open with a short sound check on one of the older streets. I keep a formal pace and take questions about the town's royal-era history as we go. Afterwards I send a short note on the buildings we passed.
This suits anyone wanting the wider town's history alongside the castle itself. It also works well paired with the Peleș Castle session.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
