Chindia Tower

If you have not been, you need not be told. GO. This place has hundreds of years of history. There is a lot to see and a lot to learn. The top of the tower view is priceless. The caves are amazing, and very cold. The ruins are super interesting. Visit on of Dracula's homes. How many can say they've seen it? The entrance see if 15RON, not too expensive for how much history this place holds. Take the kids too.

We passed by Târgoviște and the Tower on the way back home from Bucharest on Monday. It was supposed to be closed, but parking was readily available and free on the street, so we gave it a shot and surprisingly it was open. Tickets were 15RON per person, and we spent about an hour there. The tower was in great condition, and there was a little museum with written works from 100s of years ago that showcased the evolution of the Romanian language. Bathrooms were super clean too. Nice quiet historical place. Cheap tickets, easy parking. Great place to visit during a road trip break.

The tower itself looks really good as it has been renovated, even though it’s not that tall you can see the whole city from it’s top. The park surrounding it is really beautiful. If you have small children you can take them to the city’s zoo which is a 5 minute walk from the tower.

The impressive tower built in the 15th century, and later restored in the 19th century, is most likely the most famous landmark of Targoviste.

First used as a bell tower, then a watchtower and later as a clock tower, the 3 flights of stairs to reach the top makes the view of the whole city quite beautiful.

The entrance fee to the Old Courtyard was only 12 lei and the tower comes in the ticket.

This possible place for the grave of Vlad Dracul (Dracula) is very well maintained and the photos and documents offered here for the public are very interesting.

A small piece of Romanian history which should be visited if you wish to understand who Vlad Țepeş was.
Very friendly staff.

Beautiful view from the top.

A must see when staying in Targoviste, interesting stories about it and the guides are great.

It's the center piece of Targoviste. The old royal court is very very well preserved. Interesting place to visit, don't miss it.

Great for walks. Turists can find out about Romanian history. Climb8ng in the tower gives you a nice view of the entire city

A superb museum depicting some fascinating history. Everything was clean and well kept :)

It's nice, and is definitely worth it for the view. Good place to go if you visit Târgoviște.

Interesting historical place just 1 hour from Bucharest

Very interesting visit. Great views of Targoviste from the rooftop of the tower.

Very nice, istorical site

Great monument and really nice maintained, lots of historical events in this place

nice historic site

I have enjoyed all the moments spent there, for the entire visit I had something to do, from climbing the ruins to climbing to the very top of the Tower. The view is extraordinary, from the upper side you can see the mountains that are a long way ahead and all the parts of the town. Amazing!
