How to get around Romania, advice from a local traveler

There are many places to see and they are spread all over the country so it is very useful to know how to get around Romania, and what transportation to use to go from one place to the other.

There are 4 ways to get to Brasov from Bucharest:

  • by plane
  • by train
  • by bus
  • by car

All of them are easy to use and reliable. While flying from one place to another will be the fastest way for cities far away from one another, renting a car and driving or taking a bus might be a better option for cities at about 200 to 300 km away from one another.

Going by train might be the best option if you like to write while you travel and don’t want to interact with the traffic on the road which can be pretty annoying some times in Romania, especially during local holidays when people travel inside the country.

Logistical tips and tricks for your trip

Book your accommodation

We always use Booking.com as they have the best price-quality ratio and they offer a wide range of hotels, guesthouses, apartments, and villas to choose from.

You will find here all types of accommodations, from the cheapest ones to the most luxurious.

Don't forget travel insurance

We never leave home without HeyMondo Insurance or Safety Wings Insurance as they offer the best services and a good value for money, plus COVID coverage.

Travel insurance will always protect you against unexpected events and cost like illness, COVID, injury, theft, or travel cancellation.

We never go on any trip without travel insurance and there were many cases when we had to use it.

Renting a car
We like to explore a country on our own and a car gives us the mobility and freedom to do that.

We always rent our car from Discovercars as they have free cancellation 48 hours prior to starting date and a wide range of car rental companies and options to choose from all over the world.

Tours and attractions
When we are looking for some adventure or we simply want to break up the monotony and discover new places, we always use GetYourGuide.

We love it because we always find the most amazing experiences, with free cancellation and a large variety of activities and tours to choose from.

Airplane tickets and holiday packages
Expedia is our ally when searching for the best price for airplane tickets as it works as an aggregator for a huge number of airlines and we always find the best price for our flights.

Travel tip: use Expedia when you are searching for holiday packages as they have many last-minute offers and great discounts for hotels, flights, and even the whole holiday packages.
