Piatra Neamț, County capital in Neamț County, Romania
Piatra Neamț is a county capital in northeastern Romania situated in a valley along the Bistrița River, where the waterway is surrounded by steep hillsides. The town spreads between mountain slopes and combines older residential quarters with modern urban areas that hold shops, schools, and government buildings.
The settlement was first documented in the 15th century as Piatra lui Crăciun and grew into an important market town during the medieval period. Over time, it evolved into an administrative center where trade and local governance came together.
The name "Piatra Neamț" means "Stone of Neamț" and reflects the local identity. As an administrative hub, the city serves as the center where regional offices and local businesses shape daily life.
The city is served by multiple bus lines connecting different neighborhoods and nearby areas. It helps to familiarize yourself with the main streets, as they serve as orientation points for navigating through different parts of town.
A cable car opened in 2022 connects the city center to the summit of Cozla Mountain, offering quick getaways into nature. This is an unusual attraction for a city of this size, giving visitors fast access to the surrounding mountains.
