With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy everything that Ploiesti, 35 miles away, has to offer. Ilie Oana Stadium, Central Market Hall and Clock Museum alone make the drive out worth it. Buzau is another popular option. It’s 50 miles away and boasts an array of intriguing things to see and do. Vergu-Manaila House, St. Sabbas Cathedral and The Communal Palace are just the start.
