Reservation of tourist packages
There is the possibility to purchase travel tickets or tourist packages right at the train station in Viseul de Sus. But in the peak of the season and on the eve of the holidays, the demand being very high, it is quite difficult to purchase the tickets and packages on the spot due to the crowding. That is why the preferred method of purchase is online in advance.
