About this tour
This session shows Peleș Castle in nearby Sinaia through its park, exterior and terraced gardens. You see the wooded approach King Carol I chose for his summer residence, then the ornate facade combining several architectural styles, finishing in the formal gardens below the building. The camera stays outside the castle throughout.
We open with a short sound check in the park. I keep a formal, detailed pace and take questions about the royal family as we go. Afterwards I send a short note on a few of the rooms described but not shown.
This suits anyone with an interest in Romania's royal history and architecture. It also works well booked alongside the Bran Castle session.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
