Getting to Bucharest

The easiest way to get to Bucharest is by plane, with the city’s Henri Coanda International Airport (OTP) located around 16 km north of the city centre. There are regular flights to Bucharest from major European cities such as London, Paris, and Berlin, as well as flights from further afield, including New York and Dubai.

Once you’ve arrived at the airport, you can take a taxi or public transport to get to your accommodation. There is a bus service that runs from the airport to the city centre, and there is also a metro system that you can use to get around the city.
