Hi,
we are looking forward to visit Steaua Bucharest game in april 2009, when coming to Bucharest. Can anybody tell how we can buy tickets in advance or is the only way to buy them in stadionkiosk before the game. I can also see that the scedule for spring isnīt come yet, so we really donīt know when to come (the main event for us is the match). There will be 6-10 guys in our group. If got some information about other Bucharest teams, Rapid & Dinamo we are also intrested in that.

I will be arriving at Otopeni airport and heading for Constanta. I wonder which is the correct bus station?

I would like to know where I can get wholesale Romanian jewellery to buy in Bucharest or prefarably who knows where the LANEL,ROMANEL,LANCIOL or GIMASA factories are located.Would appreciate a reply pls

Hey all,
I just want to recheck the directions to otopeni from Garah de nord. I remember that after Gara de nord, I can walk to Piata Victoria (or take a metro, i guess M1 red line or something) but after that I dont remember where exactly is the bus stop for the 783 express airport bus. Can anyone please tell me on which road of piata victoria it is located? And am I correct about the metro? I have never actually traveled with metro before so I am not that sure about it. And yes I have a map and a compass so getting around wont be a problem. I just need the spots and the directions.

Thanks everyone for helping me out all the time.
Smash.
PS: I can buy tickets from the bus & metro itself right? Or I have to go to the small kiosk of RATP to get tickets?

Hi friends,

Ce linie de autobuz/maxi taxi ajunge de la aeroport la Bucuresti(Centru, Gara de Nord,Autogara)?La ce ore?

Hey everyone,
I am a student studying for now in IASI but I have an appointment in the UK embassy of Bucharest. The thing is, I know how to get from here to Gara de Nord but after that I just know that its somewhere around McDonalds but I really dont know the directions. If anyone of you can please point me in the directions towards the UK Embassy from Gara de Nord. I have a map so I guess it would be easier for me to go to any piata around. And yeah, I plan to walk rather than to take a cab or a bus.

Thanks once again Virtual Tourist...

I would be very grateful if anyone could suggest cheap but comfortable self catering accomodation near the Black Sea. There are 5 of us

My friend sent a link to Frommers which praised this small hotel. No reviews of it in the travel forum. Those of you "on the ground": A good idea (location-wise)?

Hello,

In august I 'll fly in to Bucharest Baneasa aiport. I would like to travel by train to Tulcea, taking my bike (unpacked) with me. Does anyone know if Romanian trains on that traject do take bikes? If they do, do I have to take a ticket for the bike?
thanks,

Hello.

I need to get from Otopeni to Bucuresti Nord train station in order to take a train to Brasov. Here are my questions:

1. What is best way to get from Otopeni to Gara de Nord?
2. How long does it take to travel from Otopeni to Gara de Nord?
3. What are the expected costs of both travel from Otopeni to Gara de Nord and the train from Gara de Nord to Brasov?

Thank you!

I'm trying to find a European destination that is still on the affordable side in U.S. dollars. That's getting harder to do. Can anyone that is familiar with it tell me if things are as cheap there (in dollars) as I've heard they were? Also, does anyone have any recommendations on how to get there from the U.S. cheaply. Thanks..

Can anyone advise if private accomodation or pensione within Bucharest is available ? if so approx rates & contact details would be much appreciated as will be visting in June 2008.

Regards
Dan

Hello all
Is it possible to buy souvenirs in Bucharest? What i'm looking for in particular is souvenir tea spoon. You know, it would have a little Bucharest symbol on the top of it.
But i'm curious if it is possible more than anything.

Thanks

Hello all
This is going to seem like a crazy question but i'm in Bucharest and this weekend and just realised i'll miss the final of the World Snooker Championship.
Is there any possibility that it might be on in some of the Irish pubs there maybe?
Sorry for this wild question but i'm very anxious to see it!
Come on Hendry! :)

I arrive at Banasea airport at 7.30pm and want to go to brasov on the same night. how do i do that?

thanks!

I will be arriving in Bucharest from the Varna area of Bulgaria on 10 July; time unknown. My flight leaves on 11 July at 6:50 in the morning from Otopeni Airport.
Would it be better to stay at a hotel in the city and take a taxi or a shuttle van to the airport or to stay at an airport hotel? Most of the hotels at the airport seem fairly expensive and I've had problems in the past with the hotel shuttles at odd hours (not in Bucharest, of course).
I'm looking for the best ideas for accomplishing this, at the most cost efficient way.

I am finding it impossible to find a site where I can reserve a seat on the Bucharest to Istanbul Express (Istanbul Express, Bosfor Express). Anyone know how to do that online or thru a travel agency?
We plan on traveling on May 22nd, but are arriving in Bucharest earlier, on the 14th. Would that be early enough for us to make the reservation at the gare du nord?

Hi
I'm interested in hearing about these pubs? Are they overly expensive? Good? Do any of them attract a slightly dodgy clientelle? I can't remember where i heard it but i thought one of the 3 irish pubs in Bucharest attracted girls who were on the game. Although i have a slight feeling i'm mixing this up with an American bar who's name i can't recall... i'd be happy to be proved completely wrong on this point though! :)

Thanks

Hello
Is there an open air display of aircraft in Otopeni airport?
If there is... is it worth a visit? Is there just civil aircraft or are there some old military eagles here too?

Thanks everyone

Dear ALL,
I will be in Bucharest Romania from this Sunday. I know little about this city. Could any one give me any suggestion on the trip? By the way, I have some questions.
1. What's the currency in Bucharest? Euro or Ron Lei?
2. What's the expense, in general, in pub or bar?
3. What's the most famous site around the city center?
Thank you,
cheers,

Hello all
I'm more inclined to stay in the relaxed atmosphere of a hostel amongst other backpackers but i'm wondering if i have the option really in Bucharest. I've read about 10 or 12 hostels online and they all seem great until the reviews come into play.
I do want to stay in a hotel/guesthouse in Bucharest unless i have but it must be budget.
Can any of you recommend from personal experience the best run and best located hostel in Bucharest in your own opinion?
The clock is ticking and i'm keen to sort the accomodation issue asap.
I'm travelling with a friend so it doesn't have to be top notch, just more than good enough for a backpacker maybe :)
Thanks everyone
DG
