Its capital, Alexandria, serves as a quiet hub with wide boulevards and welcoming locals, while the surrounding countryside reveals vast sunflower fields, meandering rivers, and the imposing ruins of the Roman fort at Zimnicea. Nature lovers can explore the Vedea Dam and Lake, a haven for fishing and birdwatching, or cycle along quiet country roads past quaint villages. The Teleorman River valley provides a lush backdrop for hiking and picnics. Despite its modest tourist profile, the county brims with charm: traditional fairs, handmade crafts, and hearty Romanian cuisine. Visit the 17th-century monasteries like Suhaia or turn to local winemakers for a taste of the region's rustic cellars. For a truly off-the-beaten-path experience, Teleorman delivers a peaceful retreat with treasured historical moments at every turn.",[11,14,16,18],{"key":12,"value":13},"General Emergency","112",{"key":15,"value":13},"Police",{"key":17,"value":13},"Ambulance",{"key":19,"value":13},"Fire Brigade",[21,24,27,30,33,36,39,42,45,48,51,54,57,60,63,66,69,72],{"key":22,"value":23},"Do I need a visa?","Romania is an EU country; EU\u002FEEA citizens can enter with a valid ID.
