Bușteni, town in Prahova County, Romania
Bușteni is a town in Prahova County situated at the base of the Carpathian Mountains in Romania. It spreads along a mountain valley and serves as a gateway for hiking and outdoor activities in the region.
The town developed in the 19th century as both a mining center and retreat for the wealthy. This dual role shaped its growth during Romania's industrial expansion.
The best time to visit is between May and September when mountain trails are passable and weather is stable. Sturdy footwear and weatherproof clothing are essential, as elevation and terrain can be demanding.
The town is known for its cable car up Mount Omu, which takes visitors rapidly to higher elevations. This aerial route offers mountain views that would otherwise require several hours of hiking to reach.
