• About an hour's drive south on the DN5 toward Giurgiu; without a car, take a bus to Mihai Bravu and a taxi from there
• At least half a day, since 4 to 6 hours lets you enjoy the park, and a full day is more relaxed
• Comana Monastery, founded by Vlad Țepeș (the Dracula of legend) in 1462, sits inside the park for a short history stop

Comana Natural Park covers about 25,000 hectares of forest, meadows, lakes and the Neajlov River with its small delta, the second-largest wetland area in Romania after the Danube Delta.

Kids can paddle kayaks and take boats along the river, cycle and walk the trails, and look for some of the 157 bird species recorded here. An adventure park adds zip lines and suspended rope courses.
