Bucharest (Romanian: Bucureşti) is the capital of Romania.
Contents
Hitching in and around
Bucharest has a ring road completely surrounding the city, which means that hitchhikers can accept a lift to Bucharest and then go further without having to enter the city center and then hitch out again.
Southbound travelers headed for Istanbul might want to stop at a truck rest stop close to where the E70 takes a right turn, where one can possibly find a lift straight there.
Hitching out
West towards Transylvania, Serbia E 81
Get the metro to Pacii (note the metro is a bit crazy - if you're not careful the trains change lines without warning and you can end up at Gare Du Nord again!). From Pacii you have to find the main road going west, and go to the first bus stop. Get the first bus that says Carrefour and go all the way to Carrefour shopping centre, this is the start of the motorway. There's a part where the fence is broken and you can access the motorway here - it's actually a very good spot to hitch, since traffic coming from the big shopping centre stops here.
The Transylvanian road runs through Sibiu and Cluj-Napoca. This is the standard route for central and western Transylvania, the other route through Brasov is a "scenic" journey that takes longer.
South towards Giurgiu, Bulgaria, Turkey E 85
Take the M2 metro in direction of Berceni. Get off at Eroi Revolutiei and look for the City Mall, walk towards it and you will see that the road forks. Take the right fork, the road will be called Giurgiului. Just after the city mall, there's a tram ticket office. Get a ticket (1.3 Lei as of October 2009), and walk a bit more on the road to get to the tram stop. It's right in the middle of the road. Take tram #25 to the last stop. Then walk down the road for 5 minutes and you will reach a service station on the right hand. You can ask people here or stop cars passing on the main road.
Northeast towards Urziceni, Buzau, Braila, Galaţi E 85
Take the metro to Piaţa Obor, then from there take tram #21 north to the last stop. The tram will turn off the main road into its terminus station, but after getting out of the tram continue walking straight on the main road. You will come to a bridge after a large market called Europa. Hitchhiking here is possible, but you will have to compete with other people who are standing alongside the road to flag down minibuses. A better option is to continue walking north for about three kilometers until after the Bucharest ring road, where all cars going northeast are isolated.
Public transport
- The bus/tram conductors are not working after 7 pm
- The busses are running between 5 am and 11 pm
- 1 Ticket is 1.3 Lei (0.30 EUR). It's availabe only one way on any tram, bus or troleibus. For metro you need another kind of tiket.

the triki thing is that they cant touch u ... they will say show me ur pass etc etc but they cant touch u unless theres a cop with them. if u get a chance to squize urself or force urself out of the vehicle ur cought in ... or they invite u out at the next station... u can leave ... they cant touch u on the street as they are not police with a waranty from the justice department. do not!! give them ur pass or id card !! say u cant speek english and romanian and just have that map ... u can do some signes ... u have to be as not european as u can !!
