Romania is easily accessible, served by buses, trains and planes galore.
By plane
There are plenty of direct flights to the capital of Romania, Bucharest, from a dozen or so Western countries, and, with a single plane change, from a great many more. Most flights arrive at Bucharest's two airports (Otopeni & Traian Vuia) . There are also flights to Timisoara, Constanta Arad, Satu Mare, Tārgu Mures, Cluj and Sibiu.
There are direct connections to Sibiu International Airport from many European cities, especially from Germany and Italy. Carpatair, Transylvania's largest airline, offers daily connections to Munich, Stuttgart, Dusseldorf, Ancona, Milan-Bergamo, Roma-Fiumiciono, Florence, Venice and Verona. There are connections three times a week to/from Bologna, Turin, Naples and Paris.
Romania joined the European Union on 1 January 2007 and a number of budget airlines now operate in Romania, such as:
Sky Europe,
Wizzair and
Carparair
By train
With an unbeatable train service linking Romania to Western Europe and Russia, there is little reason to travel to/from Romania by bus. Romania's public bus system is virtually nonexistent, while fares offered by the numerous private bus companies operating buses to the West rarely compete with the inexpensive comfort offered by trains. There are plenty of trains from western Europe, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Moldova, Ukraine and beyond. The website address of the Romanian National Rail Company is

There's no departure tax when leaving Romania.
Visa requirements
Citizens of the European Union and other countries do not need visa to enter Romania. However, citizens from a number of countries do need visas to travel to Romania and in some cases an invitation letter and a visa. For further details, please visit the website of the Romanian Foreign Ministry at
