Join us for a visit to the neighborhood known as the Montmartre of Bucharest, thanks to its beautiful 19th-century architecture. But as we believe in calling a spade a spade and a fig a fig, we’ll tell you the real local story.

Bucharest Chronicles
For a back to basics tour, we give you an overview of our recent past and our older much more glorious history. Starting from the University Square - probably the most popular meeting point in the city, we then move along Calea Victoriei where aristocrats, merchants, communist officials and then new capitalists shouldered each other, in their respective eras, to get a place on the city’s oldest route.

Uncover hidden charms in Mahallopolis
This experience is for the curious, the bold, and the spirited. We'll depart from the Old Town via the subway to visit one of the oldest and most beautiful cemeteries in town. It’s basically an open air museum similar to the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris or London's Highgate Cemetery. Enchanted by the eerie stories, we’ll take a turn through a lively park unknown to many tourists but cherished by the locals.

[@Alexiully]

Later on this year, you will also have a train option which will link the airport with the North Train Station.

[@cry_baby_the_dancing_clown801]

As of 2021 you can use the new train from the airport which stops at "gara de nord" the trip is 20 minutes long , and the fare is a bit less then an euro.

[@mihailb8280]

Now we have direct train from Airport to Town Center .

[@LocalHosts]

Well, yes... We filmed too early, I guess... We might update the clip with the train, but not sure its needed, since the train will be quite obvious.

[@GallinaBlanca001]

Now you have a train option from the airport on top of those. ~5 lei to the city and you can buy tickets from the little offices in the station, the ticket machines, pay by card in the train on the little terminals or pay the ticket controller.

[@chrischristian8050]

Uber it’s the best way to get out the Otopeni airport.

[@mariusionel7052]

Thank you for your video. Could you please advise me where at Piata Unirii 1 to take the bus returning to the airport? I am a little confused by the signs.

Plot twist there is a train platform 15 meters from the airport's main entrance. You could just take the train for like 5 Lei but yeah other methods work too. :D

[@ValentinDinca]

5 euros? The ticket costs 4 Romanian lei (not even 1 euro)

thanks for the help i think but im staying in bucharest

[@ciprrian651]

taxi drivers are also advised to ask first what to do to the destination before starting and if the price will not agree you do not accept and go out, you can look for another taxi driver with an acceptable price or if it is variable bus transport at that time go with bus

[@CaimAstraea]

real life is different in my country, not what you post. take it easy😂😂

[@LocalHosts]

This short clip was intended to clarify what are the transport solutions. The real life is what each of us experience daily, but even in the worse, worse, worse case scenario, one would still find a way to reach the Old Town. Travelling time to the city is always a burden, we just wanted to make sure that the first impression and experience for anyone visiting Bucharest/Romania would not be: being ripped off by a taxi driver or being fined for not having the correct ticket!

[@Mihai20057]

Ați uitat de tren. :)))) Bine, încă nu e inaugurată linia, dar mna.

[@LocalHosts]

Păi, n-am uitat :)) Dar acum un an când am filmat noi clipul, trenul nu era... Viața...

[@samuelferrat7104]

In romania the transport is free ... 😂😂😂😂

[@repairestore]

Stop using The 783 bus if you have luggage... Or pay the ticket for your luggage

[@LocalHosts]

Don't know what to say about that... Maybe the express line buses should be equipped with luggage compartments, though, the trust level is still low, and many will guard their bags for the entire trip. You can't really have public transport from the airport or train station with luggage restriction, can you?

[@trainslatina]

@@LocalHosts If somebody use a seat with luggage he/she must make a new validation for the seat. If he/she doesn't use another seat with luggage isn't necessary. Check the STB site on the section fines

We intend to protect people's interests and give them the information they need to have a great experience in Romania.
