Traditionally, a central hub for produce and livestock, Ploiești’s Obor Market was moved to the city outskirts as the town modernized in the 19th century. Today, it’s a sprawling open-air market where you can find everything from antiques and DIY goods to fake branded clothes and Ukrainian contraband, plus plenty of surprises. Don’t miss trying traditional Romanian mici with a cold beer while you explore.
