Trip to Romania

A trip to Romania, the homeland of Dracula, will present you with many surprises: steep ski slopes, bends of mountain serpentines, local healing mud. And do not forget to appreciate the delights of the country's national cuisine.

Public transport

You can easily get around Bucharest by using a bus, tram, trolleybus or one of the three metro lines.

Most of the routes are served by modern buses, the main difference of which is the large passenger capacity. However, they are almost always overcrowded. Another huge disadvantage of this type of transport is the lack of air conditioning, which makes the trip very difficult in the summer. There are tram and trolleybus lines only in the city center. Tickets are sold in silvery kiosks with the inscription «Biiete RATB». The ticket must be validated at the entrance.

The organization of public transport is good in other cities as well, but buses are also very often overcrowded. The buses leave the route at five in the morning, and the movement ends at eleven at night.

Intercity communication

Intercity buses are mostly old. Tickets can be bought both at the ticket office of the station and from the bus driver.

Taxi

The machines are mainly equipped with counters. If it is absent, then the cost of the trip should always be negotiated in advance..

The country also has state-owned (cars with «checkered»), and private (with letters «R» and «RO» on the roof) taxi. The second ones will cost a little more, but they are much easier to catch..

Metro

The metro starts working from five in the morning until eleven in the evening. The interval between trains is no more than 8 minutes. Tickets must be bought at the entrance to the station itself, and they are punched immediately after leaving the platform.

Air transport

Domestic flights are well developed in the country. From Bucharest airport you can get to any major city in the country. But the cost of flights is quite high (about $ 60-80 one way only).

Railway transport

It is the railroad that is the most common way of moving around the country. The total length of roads is 11343 km. The road network covers a large area of ​​the country. Its disadvantage is the outdated rolling stock. But at the same time, railways remain the most reliable and affordable means of transportation..

Newer trains operate between major cities, so travel is quite comfortable. But there are very few such compositions..

Water transport

There are many rivers in the country, but only boats and boats run along them. There are large ferry crossings in the country. Optionally, you can take a trip on a cruise ship.
