Over Bustul lui Vlad Țepeș

The Bustul lui Vlad Țepeș is a bust in Târgoviște, Romania, honouring Vlad Țepeș, the Wallachian prince known abroad as Vlad the Impaler. It is a short stop on a walk through a city that was once a seat of Wallachian rulers, and a good excuse to look around the old centre.

Tips for your visit

Plan on a few minutes at the bust itself. It is best treated as one stop within a longer walk through central Târgoviște rather than a destination on its own.
As an outdoor monument it can be seen from the street, so you do not need to book anything. Check a current map before you set out to confirm the exact spot.
Daylight is best for photographs, and early morning or late afternoon usually means fewer people and softer light.
Târgoviște is easy to explore on foot, so pair the bust with other sights in the historic centre and bring comfortable shoes.
