If you want to rent your car in downtown Bucharest and not at the airport, you can also reach the city center with the express bus line 780, which goes to the main station in the city center. In addition, you have the possibility to reach the city center every 40 minutes with the express bus of line 783 around the clock.

In addition, Bucharest's city center can of course also be reached by the "Henri Coanda Express", a train that runs from the airport directly to the city's northern train station.

Hardly any other country offers such a varied cultural landscape as Romania, which has been largely undiscovered so far. Reason enough to embark on a voyage of discovery between picturesque coastline and rugged mountains. Why not set off eastwards in your rental car, make a stop at the Saon Monastery and have lunch with the nuns, continue your journey towards the Danube Delta and then visit the Enisla Fortress, whose surroundings are reminiscent of the Scottish Highlands, before setting off for the enchanting Constanta on the Black Sea, from where you can drive back towards Bucharest. But a round trip via Ploiesti and Brasov and a side trip to Bran Castle, the Dracula Castle, 30 km away, is also quite something and provides a creepy atmosphere for lasting memories.
