BEFORE YOU GO
A well-planned trip.
Getting around
Alexandria’s city center is fairly compact and easy to explore on foot. To get around the farther neighborhoods, ask about local minibuses or take a taxi, agreeing on the fare or checking the meter before you set off. The city is connected to Bucharest and other places in the region by trains and buses, but schedules and frequencies can vary. If you’re traveling by car, keep in mind that road links are often the most flexible option for exploring Teleorman County. Check public transport times in advance, especially on weekends.
When to go
Spring and early autumn offer generally pleasant temperatures for walking around and sightseeing. Summer can be very hot, while winter is cold and sometimes snowy: bring season-appropriate clothing. For a quieter trip, avoid the hottest hours of summer days.
Where to eat
In the center you’ll find restaurants and cafés serving Romanian cuisine, as well as international dishes. Specialties worth trying include ciorbă soups, sarmale, grilled meats and, for dessert, papanași. Opening hours may change on public holidays and some places close early: check before you go.
Quick tips
- 01The currency is the Romanian leu (RON); keep some cash on hand for small purchases and taxi rides.
- 02Romanian is the official language: learning a few basic words can be useful outside the busiest areas.
- 03Check train and bus schedules and availability in advance, especially for evening or Sunday travel.
- 04In summer, bring water, a hat, and sunscreen; in winter, choose shoes suitable for the cold and possible icy roads.
