Craiova Christmas Market Day Trip from Bucharest Private Driver

12 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered

Craiova's Christmas market is one of the largest in Romania, spread across the old centre and at its best after dark. This trip gets you there in daylight and gives you five hours to see it lit up, with a private car and driver just for your group, on any date of the season.

You are dropped off at the edge of the market, not in a parking area across town, and the car waits nearby the whole time: come back to warm up or leave your shopping in the car.

Everyone can enjoy a mulled wine at the market, as no one needs to be the designated driver, and there is no last train or bus to rush for at the end of the evening. With a maximum of three passengers, everyone gets a comfortable seat for the ride home.

Door-to-door in Bucharest and Ilfov, at no extra cost.

One owner-driver runs the business, so the person you message on WhatsApp is the person who picks you up.

Pickup time can be adjusted on request, for example earlier if you'd like more time in Craiova before dark.
