If you've dreamed of strolling through a real life fairy tale castle, it's time to book your trip to Peleș Castle!

Peleș was once the summer residence for Romania's monarchs. The 160 rooms each feature a unique theme, often styled in the traditions of a particular nation, from Switzerland to India. In addition to an impressive collection of fine art, the castle also boasts an armory of more than 4,500 weaponry, accumulated by King Carol I.

Henri Coandă International Airport

OTP is the main airport in Romania for international flights. 

I generally find flights in and out of OTP to be more affordable than other airports in the country. Located in the capital, Bucharest, the airport also offers a good selection of flight options. 

From here you can rent a car, ride share, or take public transit to other parts of Romania. 

is Romania's busiest international airport and the bigger one of the two airports that serve Bucharest. There are no direct flights from long haul destinations such as the US, Asia, most parts of Africa and Australia.

OTP is the main airport in Bucharest and the largest one in Romania.
