Bucharest Travel Forum

The latest posting with airport to hotel transfer advice was 2007. I'm looking for latest advice on best way to get two 60's something people, each with a suitcase, to the hotel from the airport. It would be great to take a bus, but with suitcase and carry-on? And we don't know our way around Bucharest.
Thanks,
Sharon

It's fairly easy to do it by public transport: you can take bus 783 (it passes by both of Bucharest's airports), get off at "Piata 21 Decembrie" station (at Universitatii square) and then just walk across the street to the Intercontinental hotel.

You could also do it by taxi: a ride from Otopeni airport to the Intercontinental hotel shouldn't cost more than 70 lei (€17) and from Baneasa airport no more than 20 lei (€5); be careful to avoid the rip-off taxis that would charge you a lot more, use only company owned taxis.

I recomend you to use suitcase with wheels !!! I am 33 years old and all the time I use suitcase with wheel ( - : it's make the life easy.

the bus as taseg mention are at -1 floor exit, use the elevator,
you will see at right side exit at -1 floor RATB kiosk for tickets.
one magnetic card with 2 ride will cost you 7 lei.

when you get off at piata universitatii you have cross way jast behind the station and from the station till the hotel is 50 +- meter.

Thanks David,
