About To Bucharest
Bucharest is around five to six hours by road, crossing the Danube on the Friendship Bridge between Ruse and Giurgiu. In summer, a direct train runs between the two capitals (in 2026, from mid-June to mid-October), and coaches run all year. Our sister guide, the ULTIMATE Bucharest City Guide, covers the Romanian capital.
Why it's on our list
- About 5–6 hours by road
- Across the Danube at Ruse–Giurgiu
- A direct summer train
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with To Bucharest before you go.
