Airports
 The vast majority of Romania’s international visitors arrive via Henri Coanda International Airport in Bucharest. There are ten additional airports serviced by international flights in Romania. The national airline, Tarom, handles a large share of the nation’s domestic traffic. Domestic flights from Bucharest are scheduled to all of the nation’s major airports.
Flights from Bucharest connect to most major European cities, with farther-ranging flights bound for select Middle Eastern cities and less frequent flights to North America. Airlines operating at Henri Coanda International include Lufthansa, Swiss Airlines, British Airways, Austrian Airlines, Air Moldova, Air France and Turkish Airlines.
 Henri Coanda International Airport is a single-terminal facility divided into an Arrivals Hall, a Departures Hall and a Domestic Flights Hall. Annual throughput continues to grow, and officials expect to see an excess of 6 million passengers in coming years. Facilities include internet cafés, shopping and duty-free outlets, light dining facilities and newsagents. Plans for a new terminal are in early stages of development.
This airport is located 11 miles north of Bucharest. Transportation to and from the city centre consists of an express bus and taxis; city officials are planning to bring a metro line to the airport in the future.
Public Transport
 It is possible to reach Romania by bus from several other countries throughout Europe. Eurolines operates lines to and from Paris, Rome and multiple cities in Germany. There is also regular service to and from Budapest and Istanbul. Buses in Romania have a reputation for moving a bit faster than trains.
 Regular trains travel between Bucharest and Budapest, with several intermittent stops along the way. Trains from Bucharest also travel to Istanbul, Bulgaria, Vienna and Moscow. Bear in mind that tickets must be purchased at least two hours in advance of travel. For a discount, international tickets should be purchased at the Romanian State Railways office rather than on-site at the local train station.
Once on the ground in Romania, trains are the preferred means of travelling between cities. There are five classes of trains which vary in comfort, speed and reliability. Inter-city trains offer the finest accommodation, with comfortable seating arrangements and a dining car. Oftentimes, expres and rapid class trains also feature dining cars and travel just as fast as the Inter-city variety.
 Travel by boat is possible along the Danube River, especially in proximity to the delta. Boats and ferries shuttle passengers to several port cities in Serbia, Hungary and Austria.
 In many cases, travel to outlying, rural destinations is best accomplished with a hire car. Bear in mind that sealed roads are less common in rural areas, making a four wheel drive car essential for safe travel in these areas. Several major car-hire firms are available at the international airports.
To rent a car in Romania, you must have an International Driving licence and be of the age 21 or more. You must also have held your licence for a minimum of 1 year and if you are under 25, you may incur a young drivers surcharge. You can not rent a vehicle if you are over 70 years old. Please note that they drive of on right in Romania.
Local transportation within specific cities consists of trams, trolleys and buses. Horse carts are still a common sight in rural cities, and locals are willing to offer visitors rides across town. Cycling is gaining popularity as the number of tourists continues to grow. Many hotels and travel agents across Romania can assist with bicycle hire.
