With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Targoviste, 25 miles away, has to offer. Zoo, Princely Court and Military Barracks alone justify the drive. Locals will also likely point you toward Sinaia, 30 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Peles Castle. (But we’d also highly recommend Sinaia Ski Resort and Cantacuzino Castle.)
