    What an amazing castle! We still can't believe how incredible it was on the inside. Transylvania is such a scenic area in Romania. Just the train ride alone is spectacular.

      Thank you for video but Peleș castle was în former walachia and not Transilvania!

      Peleș Castle is in Prahova County that is part of Wallachia/Muntenia not Transilvania (sorry for being the facts police :) ). Also the real Vlad the Impaler's Residence is in Poenari in Argeș County but is closed down because of bears. In Transilvania the best lookin castle is probably Corvin.

      Thanks for letting us know, we thought that this part was already Transylvania! We'll be sure to check out Corvin next time we come to Romania.

      I noticed Naick already replied to you but when you say Vlad The Impaler's residence is closed down because of bears I (Kim) am imagining a bunch of bears living in a castle 😅 but I see your point 😉

      @@NaickKim Oh they might aswell because they closed it to the public when they noticed there were too many wild bears in the forest surrounding it so i would imagine some of them found shelter inside it during the winter :0 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poenari_Castle. The castle they advertise as Dracula's Castle was a border garrison between Transilvania and Valahia to colect tax from the merchants passing thru so Vlad could have slept there a few times passing thru but never ruled from there is just that it matches the description in Stoker's book the best.
      It was only renovated and became a royal residence later on when Queen Mary of Romania used it for a while probably to have some chill from the courtiers babbling about all day :)
      So if you come back to visit Corvin Castle pass thru Dracula's Castle too and just sit in the inner courtyard and giggle at the newbies throwing coins in fountain inside because that was never a fountain is an elevator shaft that Queen Maria used to go to and from the gardens bellow and they just made it look like a fountain after restoring it :)

    One of my favorite fun facts : 7:38 the Crown of King Carol I was forged at the Army Arsenal in Bucharest from the steel of a cannon captured by the Romanian Army from the Ottomans during the War of Independence . He wanted to symbolize the bravery of the romanian army ..so steel instead of gold

    Nice tour. Peleș Castle and Sinaia are in Tara Româneasca (Romanian Country) /Wallachia. You further cross the forest and you are in Transylvania. The producers of the Christmas Prince (on Netflix) placed it in Aldovia, so others too felt it looks like a movie set.

    Fact for the people who doesn't know :
    Only the kings of Romania go there, and the small castle near it, Pelișor, is for the kings family, and they go there when the people wants to visit the original castle. The Romania's king died a few years ago and now you can see the castle, but i don't wanna lie so i don't know when you can. There is very beautiful and i've been there a lot of times.

    Now the castle belong to a private person, if I am not wrong, a....Habsburg member, not anymore to the Romanian government.
