With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Ploiesti, 20 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area beginning with Ilie Oana Stadium, Central Market Hall and Clock Museum. Targoviste is another terrific option. It’s 35 miles away and offers an array of fascinating things to see and do. Zoo, Princely Court and Military Barracks are only the start.
