The ancient capital of Wallachia, Târgoviște preserves a remarkable heritage of princely courts, historic churches, and museums. Strolling among its medieval landmarks is an engaging way to discover some key chapters of Romanian history.
For centuries, the Princely Court complex was one of the main residences of the voivodes of Wallachia. Among the ruins, churches, and restored buildings, you can still feel the history of the medieval city.
A symbol of Târgoviște, this 15th-century tower dominates the Princely Court complex. From the top, you can enjoy panoramic views of the city and the surrounding area.
Located within the Princely Court, it is one of the city’s most important historic churches. Its frescoes and architecture tell the story of Wallachia’s religious and artistic tradition.
This museum traces the history of printing and ancient Romanian books through presses, manuscripts, and precious editions. It is a particularly interesting stop for getting to know the country’s written culture.
The museum presents artifacts and exhibits that illustrate the history of the city and the Dâmbovița region. Its collections provide useful context for visiting the historic monuments in the center.
A few kilometers from the center, this Orthodox monastery stands on a hill surrounded by greenery and offers a peaceful atmosphere. It is known for its architecture and for its connection to the history of the princes of Wallachia.

The center of Târgoviște is easy to explore on foot, especially between the Princely Court complex, Chindia Tower, and the central streets. To reach more distant neighborhoods, you can use city buses or taxis. The city is linked to Bucharest by trains and buses, but schedules and travel times can vary: check them before you set off. If you’re arriving by car, keep in mind that traffic can increase during rush hour.
Spring and early autumn are generally the most pleasant times to visit the city, with temperatures that are ideal for walks and outdoor sightseeing. In summer, days can be very hot; in winter, cold weather and precipitation can make getting around less convenient. When visiting monuments and museums, check the updated opening hours, as they can change by season.
In the center and along the main commercial streets, you’ll find restaurants, traditional eateries, and cafés serving Romanian cuisine and international dishes. To sample local food, look for specialties such as sarmale, mămăligă, mici, and traditional soups like ciorbă. Menus may not always be available in Italian: a few words of Romanian or a translation app can be helpful. At busier venues, especially on weekends, it’s a good idea to make a reservation.
