Getting to Bucharest: the airports

Bucharest Henri Coanda International Airport (OTP), in Otopeni about 17 km north of the city centre, is Romania's main international airport, with roughly 16 km to Gara de Nord and 110 to 170 km to Sinaia, Brasov and Bran.

Bucharest Aurel Vlaicu Airport (BBU), known as Baneasa, lies in the north of the city about 9 km from the centre and handles mainly low-cost and regional flights.

Bus 783 and the airport rail link reach Gara de Nord for a small fare, and the metro serves the centre; a private car from the terminal is simpler with luggage, for the Old Town at night, and for Sinaia, Brasov or Bran, which have no direct public transport from the airport.

Where to stay in Bucharest

The areas travellers ask us about most: Unirii Square and the Palace of Parliament, Gara de Nord area, Dorobanti and Floreasca, Baneasa and Otopeni to the north, The Old Town (Lipscani) and University Square and Piata Romana.

The choice of area changes the drive from the airport and the order of a day tour, not the price of either; send the hotel name on WhatsApp and the desk plans around it.

What to see in Bucharest

The places most visitors come for: Herastrau Park and the Village Museum, the Arch of Triumph, Cismigiu Gardens, the Grigore Antipa Natural History Museum, Cotroceni Palace, Peles Castle in Sinaia and Bran Castle near Brasov.

Our day tours cover most of them with a guide and a vehicle; the pages of Veliko Tarnovo and Tsarevets Fortress Day Trip from Bucharest, Bran Castle Peles Castle and Brasov Day Trip from Bucharest and Slanic Prahova Salt Mine Day Trip from Bucharest with Entry Ticket say exactly what each includes.

What to eat in Bucharest

Worth trying: papanasi, fried cheese doughnuts with sour cream, zacusca and fresh bread, cozonac, sweet walnut bread, sarmale, cabbage rolls with polenta and mici, grilled minced-meat rolls. Ask the driver or guide where they eat themselves; halal options and family restaurants are easy to find, and the desk suggests places near your hotel if you land late.

When to go

April to June and September to October are mild and suit sightseeing; July and August are hot; winters are cold with snow, and the DN1 to the Carpathians is slow on Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings all year, and weekday rush hours from 7 to 10 and 16 to 20 slow the DN1 into the city.

Good to know before you arrive

Give your flight number and exact hotel address, remember the currency is the Romanian leu and not the euro, and allow extra time on the DN1 at rush hours; if your hotel is in the Old Town, expect a short walk from the nearest street open to traffic.

Prices are fixed and confirmed on WhatsApp before you pay; the same conversation handles changes, questions and the next booking.
