Romania has a large, much-used road network and conditions are generally poor, with uneven, potholed surfaces. Driving in the country can prove frustrating and difficult, and night driving – especially in rural areas – is not recommended, as carts tend not to have lighting. Coach services cover most of the country, and are both affordable and reliable. Public transport is generally of a good standard, with buses, trams and taxis all offering efficient, if unspectacular, ways to get around. Bucharest also has a metro system.

Travel by rail is reliable and cheap, and the five different types of train available caters to all budgets and patience levels, from the slowest ‘personal’ through to the fastest, and most expensive, ‘InterCity’ trains. There is some wonderful scenery to be seen on certain journeys, so rail travel comes quite recommended in Romania.

There is a strong internal flight network, with the main airport for domestic flights at Baneasa and a number of destinations through the country can be reached by air.

A number of cruises operate along the Danube Delta, and as well as these services there are fishing and other activity trips available too.
