Travel to Bucharest

The Henri Coandă Express is a combined transfer service by minibus then train to Bucuresti Nord station.

Taxi

Be extremely careful when taking a taxi from the airport to the center, and avoid it if possible. Even official taxi drivers will likely try and extort some extra money out of you if you don't speak the language and seem clueless enough.

The taxis waiting at Arrivals exit are rip offs, it's best to avoid them: they charge the maximal possible rate (3.5 lei/km), most of them have rigged taximeters and still often refuse to use them, preferring to negotiate even higher prices.

Bus

Buses are a good option to get to Bucharest if coming from Moldova, Turkey, and Greece and to some extent Bulgaria, given the low frequency and speeds of trains between these countries and Romania.
