The term 'castle' can be misleading because Pelișor is not a castle in the traditional sense of the word, denoting a structure with defensive features typical of the Middle Ages. Indeed, Pelișor lacks defensive structures such as steep stone stairs, trenches, narrow corridors, or winding paths. Inside the castle, there are only a few ordinary wooden stairs, which do not present any particular challenge for tourists. However, visiting the interior of this royal residence (as Pelișor is not a true castle) may pose difficulties for individuals with health conditions or impairments, as there are no elevators, escalators, or wheelchair ramps available.
