What are the best hotels in Bucharest?

Travel from Bucharest to Constanta by bus?

• I am traveling from London to Constanta (in Romania), getting from London to Bucharest is no problem but getting from Bucharest to Constanta the same day seems not so easy. Even with the earliest flight from London i still arrive to late to catch the dozen or so trains that travel from Bucharest to Constanta. The only one i can catch get me to Constanta in the middle of the night, so i will either be wandering around for hours waiting for the hotel checking in time the next day or i will have missed the first night that i have paid for in the hotel if i booked it for the same same day. The internal flight also gets me there late. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a bus service from Bucharest to Constanta or if anyone knows how much it would be to get a taxi there (i think its about 160 miles)?

• Answer:

  There are frequent buses between Bucharest and Constanta; even though the main Romanian bus timetables site lists only one company operating on this route (as you can see below), there are several other operators. Constanta is about 225 km (140 miles) away from Bucharest; for that distance a taxi can be anywhere between 100 - 250 euros ( that's 68 - 170 pounds), on average I'd guess 150 euros. Also, remember that not all trains to Constanta leave from Bucharest's Gara de Nord train station, some leave from Obor station, so check that too.
