Most flights in and out of Romania go through Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP), the country's largest, about 16 kilometres north of the city in Otopeni. It's the hub for TAROM and the landing point for the major European carriers. The city itself has been having a moment lately, with its Belle Époque streets, late-night bars and a food scene that keeps getting better, so hotels near Otopeni Airport see a steady mix of city-breakers and business travellers.
The Henri Coandă Express train links the airport to Gara de Nord in about 22 minutes, which is the quick and cheap way in. Buses, taxis and apps like Uber and Bolt cover the rest.

A room out by Otopeni Airport makes sense for an early start or a late landing, and the centre of Bucharest is only a short hop away when you want it.
