It lies towards the southern end of the Prahova Valley, along the Prahova River, in the main on the left bank, but with some of the component villages on the right bank of the river. Comarnic is located in the western part of Prahova County, northwest of the county seat, Ploiești. It is crossed by national road DN1 (part of European route E60), which starts in Bucharest and goes north towards Brașov and on to the border with Hungary near Oradea; the partially built A3 motorway will also go through the town. The Comarnic train station and the Posada halt serve the CFR Main Line 300, which runs parallel to DN1.
