If you're up for some more sightseeing, we recommend visiting Platoul Cornesti, a stunning plateau before you head out.

As your final day in Romania unfolds, enjoy a last-minute shopping spree in Targu Mures's best shopping area, Mureș Mall. Enjoy finding the perfect gift or keepsake to remind you of your wonderful trip to Romania.

Before you conclude your road trip in Romania, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Targu Mures.

Dine in style at Bristol Bus Cafe, a top recommendation for dinner tonight. Or, for a change of pace, Cuza Voda market boasts a menu that's sure to impress.

You’ll then say farewell to Targu Mures. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in Romania!
