Getting Around Targoviste

Public transport is a great way to see the city. Hop on the bus and in just few minutes you're at a museum, restaurant or in Old Town. Affordable and reliable, the bus can be accessed via the city's Pedestrian Network: five main lines connect downtown to major tourism sites as well as to numerous bus stops. Weekly passes are not available. Bus operating hours are Monday to Friday and Sunday from 5:30 a.m. to 1 a.m., and Saturday from 5:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. The average wait time between buses is twenty minutes and thirty minutes during rush hours. If you prefer getting around by taxi, it's easy to flag one down on the street. You'll also find them at one of the city's many taxi stands or in front of most major hotels.
