The Symposium will be organized in the Sinaia Hotel and the accommodation will be assured in the New Montana and Sinaia Hotels in Sinaia.
Sinaia is situated almost in the center of the country, on the Prahova Valley, at about 120 km from Bucharest and 45 km from Brasov on DN 1, a modernized road which runs along the river and passes through unique spots. The town lies at the foot of the Bucegi Mountains at 800 m above sea level. Protected against the coldest winds, Sinaia has a sparing climate, not very hot in summer (22°C to 24°C) and not very cold in winter (-1°C to -8°C). The beauty of the landscape, the freshness of the summer days and the abundance of the snow in winter made Sinaia the most famous mountain resort in Romania, surnamed the Pearl of Carpathians.
