safe and quiet town.

In a nutshell
Much more than a ex socialist republic

Ploiesti is a pretty small tawn,so there are not a lot to see.First you must visit The Clock Museum which is unique in Europe ans olso The Petroleum Museum.On the main bulevard you can find The Art Museum and near by is the Hystorical Museum.The Cathedral in the central area is also something to se,because of it's oldness.If you go for a walk on the little streets you can admire the old houses and if you have the oportunity visit some churches.there are so small and so old...trust me!you'll like them!

Pizza Jinx: Good Brick Oven Pizza
DSwede Says: There are lots of pizza joints in Ploiesti, but many of them are simply re-heating frozen pizzas. The pizza at Jinx is made from fresh ingredients in a brick oven right in front of you. They also have a reasonably priced wine list!
Regina Noptii (THe Queen of the Night): Not to miss Traditional Mixed Grill

Champions: Eat and drink with a view
DSwede Says: Situated on the top roof of the old market, during the summer it give a great view point to watch the city traffic and people in the square below. But you have to get there early because its near to impossible to get a table on the edge after ~8:30pm.Walk around the corner...
Vineyard (or at least that's the translation): Good local cuisine
DSwede Says: Its simply a comfortable restaurant for local dishes. The food is good and reasonably priced. In the summer they have outdoor seating in a sheltered patio with grapevines growing on the walls. In the winter, you can seat inside in the quaint dining room.
Viena Cafe: Don't miss traditional food!!
soricel Says: Here are a lot of restaurants.But the best is Viena Cafe. Even though it sounds like being a coffee bar it is a very elegant restaurant. Anyway,you can serve anything you want from coffee,to delicious romanian food and finally desert. There are many other restaurants and if...
Pelican Restaurant: Try the grilled meats

Be aware around street children
silentnights Says: If you happen to be in Ploiesti, be aware of the street children who usually congregate in the center of town. The children are usually harmless, but I once witnessed a group of pre-teens beating up a homeless man sitting on a park bench next to me. To make matters worse,...

Nightmare, Europa Hotel , Ploiesti, Romania
Daniel_toronto Says: Don't ever go to Europa hotel.After I paid upfront for 4 nights the equivalent of US$150/night for a 3* room they kiked us out in the middle of the night, saying that we had tried to trick them because we were 3 people instead of 2 even thought when we checked in we gave...

When people visit Ploiesti they usually miss the most important thing :The Clock Museum , which is hide somewhere on a small street , an the most beautiful street in Ploiesti . This street is called Praga . It is a very peacefull place. the best time to walk on this street is the night , when you'll admire old houses and big trees on the felinar's light.

DSwede Says: Everyday it is changing, but as of now very few places take credit cards. There are a few currency exchanges around, but you'll have to search for best rates (don't use the hotel, you'll pay ~2% on average).If you use ATM for cash advance, the best rate that I've found is...
silentnights Says: My favorite thing about Ploiesti is that it is just a short distance away from Bucharest. I can take an hour maxi-taxi or train trip to Bucharest and spend the day in the capital just hanging out. For a traveler, the hotels are going to be cheaper here than in Bucharest. I...
