Airport Transfers in Bucharest: Everything You Need to Know

Published by Trip Romania

Arriving at Henri Coandă International Airport (Otopeni - OTP) is the starting point of your Romanian adventure. Knowing how to navigate the transport options from the airport to Bucharest city center can save you time, money, and hassle.

1. Public Transport & Express Buses

There is an express bus line (783) connecting the airport directly to the city center (Piata Unirii). It's cheap, but it can get crowded and takes longer depending on traffic.

2. Taxis and Ride-Sharing Apps

You can use official taxi touchscreens inside the terminal or apps like Uber and Bolt. Always be cautious of unofficial drivers approaching you inside the arrivals hall.

3. The Stress-Free Choice: Private Transfer

Pre-booking a private airport transfer ensures a professional driver will be waiting for you right at arrivals with a name sign, ready to take you directly to your hotel without any waiting or guesswork.
