I’m really excited to interview Edward Sturm of Commit Club about Bucharest, Romania. Edward’s tips for the best things to do in Bucharest are awesome because he lived in Bucharest for two months after evacuating Kyiv, Ukraine, in early 2022. He loved Bucharest for its welcoming people, amazing cafes, and abundant parks.

Getting around Bucharest
The local airport is Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP), which is about a 25-minute drive from Bucharest. Use our Expedia tool below to find flight, hotel, and rental car options.
Edward says that there’s no need to rent a car when visiting Bucharest. The metro runs until midnight and is reliable and fast. You can also rent a taxi very inexpensively or book a ride with Uber or Bolt to get around. If you do decide to rent a car, click here for the best offers from Avis, Budget, or Hertz.
