By car:
Border crossing between Romania and its western neighbors
is just a formality. When renting a car in Europe please check
with the car rental company about its policy regarding taking
the car across national borders. Insurance can be purchased
at any Romanian border crossing point. Documents required
by Romanian Customs are the vehicle's registration, proof
of insurance and a valid driver's license from the driver's
home country.
There are many bus routes that connect Bucharest and Romania's
main cities with Athens, Berlin, Budapest, Copenhagen, Frankfurt,
Istanbul, London, Milan, Munich, Paris, Rome, and Vienna.
By train:
Traveling by train from other European countries to Romania
takes from 6 hours (Budapest to Timisoara) to about 46 hours
(London to Bucharest). Most train tickets allow several stopovers
en route so train travel can be an affordable and relaxing
way to include Romania in a European trip.
Romanian National Railways (SNCFR) operate service from Bucharest
to many European cities. First and second-class sleepers are
available for journeys longer than 10 hours and for overnight
trains.
