With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Targoviste, 16 miles away, has to offer. Zoo, Princely Court and Military Barracks alone make the drive out worthwhile. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Sinaia, 25 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Peles Castle. (But we’re also huge fans of Sinaia Ski Resort and Cantacuzino Castle.)
