How to Come to Romania
Romania is easily accessible by plane, train and
boat. There are plenty of scheduled flights to
Romania from almost anywhere in the world, including
direct flights from several European cities.
Most flights arrive at Bucharest’s Henri Coanda
International Airport (OTP), about one-half hour’s
drive north of Bucharest. Other cities in Romania
including Timisoara, Cluj, Sibiu, Oradea, Arad and
Bacau are connected with destinations in Austria,
Germany, Italy and Hungary by flights with Austrian
Airlines, Lufthansa, Malev, Alitalia and Tarom.
Also, in the last 3–4 years, many important low
cost airlines have opened their offices in Romania.
You can book a flight online via Tarom at http://
www.tarom.ro.
Traveling by train from Europe to Romania takes
between 6 hours (Budapest to Timisoara) to about
46 hours (London to Bucharest). Most train tickets
allow several stopovers en route, so train travel
can be an affordable and relaxing way to come
to Romania. The Romanian National Railways
(SNCFR) operates service from Bucharest to many
European cities. First and second-class sleepers
are available for journeys longer than 10 hours and
for overnight trains. Information on train schedules
and fares can be found at http://www.cfr.ro.
Several river cruise companies based in Germany
and Austria offer cruises on the Danube
River, through to the Danube Delta, and along the
Black Sea Coast.
