How to Reach Romania: Your Guide to the Best Travel Routes

How to reach Romania is a common question among travelers eager to explore this destination. Most travelers arrive by connecting through major European hubs on their way to Bucharest. This journey often provides a chance to combine a trip to Italy, France, Spain, Germany, or the UK with a visit to Romania.

Connecting Through Major European Cities

Many travelers use Austrian, Swiss, or Lufthansa flights to reach cities inside Transylvania, such as Cluj or Sibiu. Turkish Airlines also offers convenient flights to Bucharest (1 hour from Istanbul) or to Cluj in Northern Transylvania (1.5 hours from Istanbul). This combination is perfect for those who want to explore multiple destinations.

Driving from Nearby Capitals

Another excellent option to consider is flying to Budapest or Belgrade and then driving into Romania (a 3-4 hour drive). If you choose this route, we can take you out for a coffee, since Timișoara, where Beyond Dracula is based, is on your way to the rest of the country.

Direct Flights from New York

Exciting news for travelers from the United States: starting in June, there will be a direct flight to Bucharest from New York/JFK. The airline offering this service is HiSky, a Moldavian carrier. This new route will make it easier than ever to reach Romania from the US.

Future Travel Hopes for Brașov

Looking ahead, many of us are eagerly waiting for Brașov, the eastern gateway into Transylvania, to welcome a few major airlines. This would significantly reduce the long and tiring transfer from Bucharest to the region that most travelers wish to discover.
