Tarom - romanian aviation

by codrutz

Romania's main commercial aviation company is TAROM, which has a very good reputation, it's pilots are very good, this being acknowledged by foreign travelers also.Tarom's fleet consists of 26 planes: 3 of 737-800, 4 of 737-700, 4 of 737-300, 4 of A318-111 (second picture of this tip), 2 of A310-325, 2 ATR 72-500 and 7 ATR 42-500 (later is a turbo-prop French made 40 seats 2 propeller engines aircraft - pictured on the right - used only on domestic flights)Food is good on each of the flights. I recommend using Tarom and posting your opinion on VT and on this specialized site on airline quality review.For example a plane ticket from Bucharest to Sibiu costs as low as 150 RON (EUR 35) for one way or 330 RON (EUR 78) for a return trip. Of course that are for early reservations, prices goes up sharply when the plane is filling up, so book in advance (at least two weeks).

Belgrade to Bucharest

by ardelean

Me, I would take the overnight sleeper, but if you must travel by road, then allow more than ten hours. The route through the portile de fier is probably the best route, but Romanian roads are being renovated so you could hit unsigned roadworks. And then there are the truck drivers on bonus and the carts with licence plates and no lights. If you go through Timisoara, then watch out for the roadworks between Lugoj and Craiova. Some people recommend going through Deva to Bucharest, due to the condition of the roads between Lugoj and Craiova, but it can take 10 hours from Timisoara to Bucharest. I have no recent experience. As I say I go by sleeper. The road on the Serbian side is through the mountains and not recommended for night travel. You can get the distance off google earth. Average speed in Romania is about 60 kph. Be careful buying cigarettes as you come through the border. The...

Airport Taxis

by cianmurr

Only take airport taxis that are designated and are queing at the door of the Otopeni Airport. There are many drivers trying to scam tourists here. The fare should only be 50cent/km anything more and they're trying to rip you off. Just use common sense and you'll be fine though!

Be Careful with Car Rental!!

by cianmurr

I would recommend that you be careful about the car rental company you choose. We chose a cheap alternative in Bucharest called auto-rent.ro /promotor services. To cut a long story short they are terrible to deal with. I have rented many cars in different countries but these are by far the worst I've every witnessed...overcharging, accusation of damage etc. Stay away stick with known or well used local services!!

Romanian railways

by codrutz

Romanian Railways (CFR) is the national railway operator. Railway travel is convenient in Romania as it is more reliable than driving on the roads, because the schedule of a train travel is most of the time (95-99%) respected, you travel without stress and increased attention like you would do while driving.I recommend taking trains for longer trips (>200km) in Romania as they get you from point A to point B without stress. Railway network is well developed in Romania and though speeds are only up to 160kph (100mph) traveling by train is good as long as you apply the following tips:1) There are four types of trains. The fastest ones are "INTERCITY" (IC) and "RAPID" (R), then"ACCELERAT" (A), then "PERSONAL" (P) don't take latter as they stop in every small station. If possibly for a quick and comfortable ride try to use IC or R trains.2) Travel 1st class. This is not much more...
