Have you arrived in Iași and want to explore the city beyond the classic center and the crowded tourist areas? Perfect! With a rental car, you have the freedom to discover gorgeous places, to stop where you want and when you want, without depending on buses, trams or taxis. Whether you landed at Iași airport and are quickly looking for a car rental solution, or you are a resident of Iași and are longing for a weekend getaway, a car from Crazyrent.ro opens the way to a lot of cool experiences.

You can choose from a lot of rental car options, perfect for city roads, along with a luxury car for a special outing. Here's where you can start:

1. First stop: Historic Iași – the heart of the city

If you arrive in Iași for the first time, start with the city center. It's the easiest way to understand what kind of city it is. Grab a coffee, get in your car and head straight to the historic area – there are parking spaces, so don’t worry about that.

The Palace of Culture is the kind of building that amazes you from the first moment. It looks like a castle and there are four museums inside, but even if you just go in to walk around a bit, it’s still worth it. It has something special – peace, a fairytale atmosphere.

Right next door, you have Ștefan cel Mare Boulevard – it’s pedestrian, with benches, terraces, bookstores, old buildings that still preserve the vibe of Iași from the past. Ideal for a leisurely stroll.

On the same boulevard you’ll also find the “Vasile Alecsandri” National Theater. It’s gorgeous, especially at night when it’s lit up. You don’t need to see a show to appreciate it. Just enter the courtyard and you’ll understand why crowds like to visit this place.

Stop at Mitropolie, a quiet place, and no matter how busy or tired you are, that place calms you down. You don't have to be a believer to appreciate the place - it's about the atmosphere, about the architecture, about how you feel.

If you came by plane and are looking for a simple solution, you can rent a car directly from the airport. With a rented car you can reach the center in 15-20 minutes, without stress. And if you want something automatic, without the hassle of traffic, Crazyrent has a lot of options, from small city models to SUVs, if you want more space.
