Getting from Bucharest airport to the city center

Bucharest is served by Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP), located 18 km north of the city center. This is Romania's busiest airport and the main gateway for travelers visiting the capital. A variety of airport transfers to city center destinations are available, including express buses, taxis, ride-hailing services, and private transfers. Journey times typically range from 25 to 50 minutes depending on traffic conditions and your chosen mode of transport.

Notes:

  • Prices in RON (approximately 1 USD = 4.5 RON); table created in 2025 and subject to change.
  • Express Bus 783 runs between the airport and Piața Unirii via Piața Victoriei. Validate your ticket on board.
  • Use only official taxi kiosks inside the arrivals hall to avoid unlicensed drivers.
  • Traffic congestion can significantly increase journey times, especially during rush hours.
  • We recommend checking official transport websites for your travel planning.

Good to know before you fly to Bucharest

Airlines and routes to Bucharest

Flights to Bucharest primarily land at Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP). Major carriers like Wizz Air and Ryanair connect Bucharest with numerous cities across Europe, offering a wide network of direct routes. Lufthansa provides nonstop service from its German hubs, while TAROM, Romania's national airline, serves various European and domestic destinations. A flight from London to Bucharest typically takes about three hours, providing a useful connection example.

Getting around Bucharest

Bucharest features an extensive public transport network, including the Metrorex underground system and surface transport (buses, trams, and trolleybuses) operated by STB. Public transport uses an integrated ticketing system, where a single journey can be validated across different modes using a rechargeable card. Contactless bank card payment is also available on STB vehicles. While central areas of Bucharest are suitable for walking between attractions, the city's overall size means public transport is essential for reaching further districts.
