#3 Exploring near Bucharest

If you also want to enjoy the surrounding of Bucharest, there are a few options that you can discover. Mogosoaia Park is great for taking in the lovely air of Romanian architecture and nature and it’s only a few km away from the Capital: Mogosoaia Palace from the 18th century, Bibescu Grave Mausoleum (the last owners of the castle), Saint George Church, a lake and a beautiful forest with large alleys, few restaurants, and terraces.

You can also choose to drive for 2 hours to Sinaia. Sinaia is a town in central Romania’s Bucegi Mountains, surrounded by ski trails. Its 17th-century Sinaia Monastery was once a royal family residence. German neo-Renaissance Peleș Castle, now a museum, has Klimt frescoes and stained-glass windows. The smaller, neighboring Pelișor Castle has a half-timbered facade. Across the Prahova River, the George Enescu Memorial House is the former home of the Romanian musician. This trip will be wonderful, as also the drive up to the station will reveal for you great sights.

Be sure to take advantage of this wonderful Holiday season and enjoy Bucharest as never before!
