Prahova Valley (Romanian: Valea Prahovei) is the valley where the Prahova river makes its way between the Bucegi and the Baiului Mountains, in the Carpathian Mountains, Romania. It is a tourist region, situated about 100 km north of the capital city of Bucharest.

Geographically, the Prahova river separates the Eastern Carpathians chain from the Southern Carpathians. The corridor was historically the most important passage way between medieval principalities of Wallachia ans Transylvania. The actual DN1 road, that links Bucharest with the city of Braşov and the future A3 will be built along the Prahova Valley.

The region is a popular destination for mountaineers and for wintersports fans. The most important resorts are:

• Predeal
• Azuga
• Buşteni
• Sinaia
• Comarnic
• Breaza
