Getting Around Bucharest

Henri Coandă (OTP) is 17 km from the city center, around 25–50 min by private transfer depending on traffic. Inside the city, public transport, taxis, and ride-hailing apps cover most areas, while the central districts are best explored on foot. For airport pickups, intercity rides, or group travel with luggage, a pre-booked private transfer is the smoothest door-to-door option, especially after late arrivals or with families.

Best Time to Visit Bucharest

  • Apr–Junwarm 12–25°C, terrace season
  • Jul–Aughot 19–32°C, peak heat
  • Sep–Octmild 10–22°C
  • Nov–Marcold -4 to 5°C, snowy

Local Essentials for Bucharest Travelers

  • Cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and shops; carry some local cash for markets, small cafés, and tips.
  • English is commonly understood in tourist areas, hotels, and by transfer drivers, though learning a few local greetings is appreciated.
  • Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory — rounding up the fare or adding around 5–10% for good service is the local norm.
  • Night transfers are safest when pre-booked in advance; avoid unmetered street taxis after dark, especially from the airport.
  • Hotel meeting with a name-board pickup is standard for private transfers — share your flight number so the driver can track delays.
