Pro tips to help you make a pick

Purchase skip-the-line tickets to avoid waiting in long ticket queues and get priority entry. This will allow you to save time, which you can use to explore the castle and its many attractions.

Peles Castle is best explored with a guided tour. An expert guide will not only show you around but also share interesting anecdotes and give you insights into the fascinating history of the castle.

The castle sees an increase in the number of visitors during midday, especially around noon. Early mornings or late afternoons are the best times to visit if you want to explore the castle when it is less crowded.

While visiting Peles Castle, don’t miss out on visiting Pelișor Castle, the other smaller royal residence within the castle complex.

The access route to Peles Castle involves a 20 to 40-minute walk that is mostly uphill. We recommend wearing comfortable and sturdy footwear so that you can explore with ease.

Photography without flash is permitted inside the castle. However, visitors have to pay separate fees in addition to their entry tickets to be able to take pictures within the premises.

Before you leave the castle, go an enjoyable stroll through the beautifully landscaped gardens and take in the views of the surrounding mountains.

The construction of Peles Castle was completed in 10 years, from 1873 to 1883. However, several significant additions, especially to its interiors, were made over the next 30 years up to 1914, when it was finally marked as completed.

The tour started with a slight hiccup, as the app states that the meeting point is at the gate. There’s a map and a photo attached. A dozen or so people were waiting there, and no one came to meet us. It turned out we were supposed to go inside and start the tour there. Please correct this in the app, as many people are waiting unnecessarily and getting nervous. The tour was really very interesting; we were able to visit several rooms, halls, and conference rooms. The guide was very polite and spoke English well. We learned a lot about the palace, its functions, and the work that goes on there. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bucharest.
