Sinaia is not only worth seeing, but also a great place for outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing and mountain biking. In the surrounding mountains and forests you will find numerous hiking trails, as well as in the ski resorts well prepared slopes for skiers and snowboarders. The various modern cable cars (Telegondola) will take you to the top of Cota 1400 and Cota 2000, from where you will have a great view and in summer you can also have a picnic. From Cota 2000 you can also hike to the unique rock formations Babele and Sphinx (Sfinxul), which are also part of the beautiful Bucegi Nature Park. From Babele you can already see the big cross (Crucea Eroilor de pe Muntele Caraiman), which was built on the mountain. But back to the city of Sinaia, where you should also visit one of the museums. The City Museum (Castelul Stirbey) is recommended, as well as the Natural History Museum (Muzeul Rezervatia Bucegi) in the Bucegi Nature Reserve. And you should also take a ride on the Telegondola Sinaia. And like everywhere in Romania, you should stop at a restaurant and enjoy the tasty Romanian food.
