The 13 Best Sinaia Day Trips from Bucharest

1.Sinaia and Brasov in one day

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 90 reviews · 10 to 11 hours (approx.) · from $192.29Our pick

One day Sinaia and Brasov with hotel pickup, air-conditioned ride, Peles Castle, Cota 1000 gondola views, and Brasov Old Town.

“We had completed a trip the day before to Peles Castle and to Brasov and Bran Castle. In the overview, it mentions nothing about Bran Castle, therefore I thought it would be fine to revisit Sinaia and Brasov. The problem was 4 adults were stuffed into a VW Passat which only seats 3 passengers comfortably. At pick up, the guide/driver mentioned Bran Castle and since we knew the twisting road was to come, we opted to leave after 15 minutes while still in Bucharest. Not a good experience. You should´ve been clearer about the tour.”
