Pelisor este situat chiar langa Palatul Peles. Acesta a fost resedinta de vara a celui de-al doilea rege din dinastia Hohenzollern, Ferdinand. Nu la fel de mare ca Palatul Peles, Pelisor ofera mai mult comfort. Un ghid in engleza este de asemenea disponibil. Dincolo de Pelisor se afla un alt palat construit mai tarziu de dictatorul Ceausescu. Este construit in stil spaniol si a fost ridicat din dorinta dictatorului de a se plasa deasupra familiei regale. Nu este posibil sa se efectueze o vizita in acest palat, dar este interesant sa-l privesti si sa urci apoi pe o carare de munte ce pleaca chiar de aici (a fost creata ca un drum particular pentru Ceausescu).
