With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Miercurea-Ciuc, 35 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Csiksomlyoi Pilgrimage Church and Monastery, Mikó Castle and Millennium Temple. Locals will also probably point you toward Neamt County, 50 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be Telegondola. (But we’d also recommend Bal Shem Tov Wooden Synagogue and Parc Zoologic.)
