Bucharest (Romanian: Bucureşti) is the capital of Romania.


Heading west to Sibiu, Serbia, Belgrade

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 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. Theres 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.


Heading North/East to Slobozia, Constanţa (Black Sea Coast) and Danube Delta

Get metro to Obor Square (Piatza Obor). From Obor ask someone te show you the direction to Europa/"Dragonul Roshu" (Red Dragon - Bucharest "Chinatown") or take the tram (line 12) to same direction. After two stops you'll see a An2 agricultural plane in the middle of intersection and you know you're in right direction. From the end of the line walk on same direction until you're on the bridge. Is advisable to have an cardboard with your destination. From this point you'll go to Urziceni (where you'll find an alternative route to Ploiesti and Prahova Valley), Slobozia, Ţăndărei/Chirana (a crossroad 10 km from town, routes to Brăila/Galaţi and Tulcea), Hârşova (routes to Tulcea/Danube Delta and Constanţa).
