If you are staying in Romania...
If you are staying in Romania for more than a couple of weeks, it can work out cheaper, if flying from the UK to fly first to either Prague or Budapest and then take a train from there. Romania's train network is relatively cheap and generally reliable, and covers much of the country. It is also easy and extremely cheap to get around Romania by hitch-hiking. If you do hitch hike you will rarely have to wait very long for a lift, and although you might meet a small number drivers who expect you to pay more because you are a foreigner just offer a small amount of cash at the end of the drive (as a rule it seems that about 20,000 lei, or about 40 UK pence, is an acceptable amount for journeys under 100km).
