I recently flew to Singapore on flight 21 April 28, 2024. From the time I was greeted at the aircraft door your cabin crew was warm welcoming, smiling and dressed sharped in their uniforms. I've flown around the world and this was my first time on singapore airline. Jason was very attentive to all of my needs. Kelly did made sure my food was correct and it was served at perfect temperature. Mohan check made sure i stayed hydrated they did a beautiful dinner service and lunch service. Everytime I went to the bathroom Ploy had my favorite drink ready. Even though I was in premium economy they gave us first class treatment. I truly enjoyed everything from start to finish on my flight. Even though this is the longest flight in the world I was thankful for the comfort your crew provided me in this journey.

Bucharest Travel Guide

You would never know that Bucharest, Romania’s thriving capital city, was the site of a devastating revolution: It was here that protesters tore the streets apart while ousting the Communist regime from the city merely two decades ago. Today, Bucharest is a vibrant city that remembers its past while embracing the new.

The festivals that take place in the city each year showcase the plethora of artistic and musical talent cultivating in Bucharest, while the universities inject a youthful energy into the nightlife scene. All of this refreshing activity takes place alongside the solemn structures built throughout the reign of Nicolae Ceau?escu, the Communist president of Romania. His urbanization plans displaced thousands of people and forced them to move into these cold concrete buildings still standing today. Ceau?escu’s control of Romania ended with the 1989 Revolution, when he was publicly executed in the series of weeklong riots and violent protests that ultimately overthrew Communism in Romania.

One of the first things travelers notice when they visit Bucharest for the first time is the city’s artistic community: the innovative music and performance art of the locals gained momentum in the wake of the political turmoil by which the city was once burdened.

Bucharest is famous for its house music, with clubs scattered throughout the neighborhoods of the city blasting bass into the early hours of the morning. Most of Bucharest’s annual festivals revolve around music and celebrate music in all of its forms. Regardless of when you book your Bucharest flight, you’re sure to be surprised by the artistic and creative adventures that await you in this city that spans the centuries.

Getting to and around Bucharest

Henri Coand? International Airport (OTP) is located around 10 miles north of Bucharest’s city center. There is a direct train and express bus service to Gara de Nord railway station in Bucharest, both of which are frequent and inexpensive. Taxis are also available. Rental car counters are situated between the Departures Terminal and the Arrivals Terminal.

After your cheap flight to Bucharest arrives, hop on a taxi for downtown Bucharest or take the RATB Express Bus 783, which connects with Henri Coanda International Airport. Bucharest is an easy city to get around with its efficient network of trolley buses, subway, buses and trams that are run from 5am until at least 11pm. You can buy bus and tram tickets from RATB street kiosks. Metro tickets are available inside the stations. Save money with an unlimited weekend metro pass.

Tips for your stay in Bucharest

  • Bucharest is home to the Parliament of Palace, which, after Washington DC’s Pentagon, is the second largest government building in the world. Ceau?escu oversaw the initial stages of the Parliament’s construction but was executed before its completion, and today the massive structure is home to the Romanian Senate. A visit to the Parliament of Palace is a must before your return Bucharest flight: This man-made behemoth was constructed entirely of Romanian materials and is testament to the skill of the country’s best artisans.
  • Calea Victorie is one of Bucharest’s oldest surviving streets. Its first planks of oak were laid in 1692 under orders of then-in-power Romanian Prince Brâncoveanu. A walk down Calea Victorie is an excellent way to stretch your legs after your flight to Bucharest lands, as the street connects the two main plazas of the city, Pia?a Victoriei and Pia?a Revolu?iei.
  • Looking to relax after your long Bucharest flight? Head straight to Herastrau Park. Here, sprawling green oasis covers more than a square half-mile of downtown Bucharest and it’s a popular spot for locals to meet and socialize. With cafes lining the park, meandering walkways, and boats for hire on the park’s pond, this park makes for an ideal retreat if the hustle and bustle of city life grows tiresome for an afternoon. Herastrau Park is also home to the Village Museum, which is a great way to introduce the kids to Romanian culture: The Village Museum meticulously maintains 272 buildings and peasant farms that are modeled after villages from all over Romania.
  • Revolution Square is an important point of reference and place of historical significance in downtown Bucharest. It was here that Ceau?escu’s last moments in power ticked by in 1989. Revolution Square is a good first stop after your flight to Bucharest lands, as you can reach some of the most popular attractions here. The square is also home to Bucharest’s neoclassical Royal Palace, the National Art Museum and the Romanian Athenaeum.

Finding Flights from Bucharest

Bucharest is the perfect base for exploring the Czech Republic, Hungary, and the rest of Eastern Europe. Cheap flights can help you find great prices on many flights throughout this region.

The 783 Express line will take you to the city center and runs throughout the day, and the express train travels between the airport stop and Bucharest North Railway Station. Taxis are also available at the airport. You will want to be sure to give yourself enough time to reach the airport and check-in, especially during busy travel times.

  • What’s the weather like in Bucharest?

    Bucharest feels each season distinctly, as is evidenced by the severe heat of summer and the frigid cold of winter.

  • What should you pack for a flight to Bucharest?

    Bucharest’s climate ranges from hot and dry in the summer to cold and windy in the winter, so what you pack will depend on the season. The city has a casual atmosphere, so no formal clothing is necessary. Pack jeans or a casual warm dress for the winter and shorts, t-shirts, sundress, and sandals for the summer. A good pair of boots is essential during for winter and any time of the year if you plan to spend a lot of time walking. A light jacket, sweater, and scarves are good layering items for when the temperature becomes cooler, and a travel-sized umbrella will prepare you for sudden downpours.

  • What are some things to do in Bucharest?

    Bucharest is a wonderful mix of new and old, and the best way to get to know the city is by spending time walking through the streets taking in the sights and sounds. One of its earliest settlements was Old Town, whose historic buildings have been carefully restored and today houses shops, cafes, theaters, and restaurants. Spend the afternoon strolling through the cobblestone streets, then stop by the Carturesti Carusel bookstore to browse the aisles covering six floors and enjoy coffee in its cafe. In the evening, listen to the Romanian George Enescu Philharmonic play at the 19th century Romanian Athenaeum, which resembles an ancient temple. To get a sense of Romania’s proud history, spend time at the National Museum of Romanian History, showcasing the Romanian Crown Jewels, Pietroasele Treasures, and other artifacts. The Dimitrie Gusti National Village Museum is an open-air museum in Herastrau Park that represents Romania’s traditional way of life. Each of the 300 buildings were shipped from towns throughout the country. At the National Museum of Art, visit galleries highlighting some of Romania’s most prominent artists, such as Theodor Aman, Nicolae Grigorescu, and Milita Petrascu. Gorgeous parks are located all over the city, and are a great way to relax when the weather is nice. The oldest park is Cismigiu Garden, and you can spend the day relaxing under the trees or rowing along the lake. At Herastrau Park, you can visit the open-air museum, enjoy an old-fashioned amusement park, or settle in for a picnic. Carol Park is a popular pot during the summer, when it hosts concerts in its open-air theater, Arenele Romane.
