Travelling to Romania by bus: how to prepare for the journey

What to expect on a coach journey to Romania: the border, currency, mobile phone coverage and the destination.

Зміст статті

    Flights to Romania are a convenient way to travel to Bucharest, airports and tourist destinations. Before you set off, check your itinerary, documents and onward transport options.

    Border and documents

    Entry requirements may change, so please check them on official websites. Keep your passport and ticket in your hand luggage.

    Money and payment

    The national currency is the Romanian leu. Bank cards are widely accepted, but it’s a good idea to carry a small amount of cash for stops along the way or in smaller towns.

    Onward journey

    If you’re heading to the airport, allow plenty of time after the estimated bus arrival time: border crossing times are not always predictable.

    A quick checklist before your journey

    • Check your destination
    • Don’t plan a tight connection
    • Check your roaming arrangements
    • Have some cash for small expenses

    Before you set off, check the current terms and conditions on your ticket and the rules for crossing the border on official websites. You can find a convenient bus journey and compare departure times and prices on RedRay.
