## From Bucharest to Brașov

The train is the easiest way on to Brașov:

- **From Otopeni:** CFR's airport train runs 24 times a day from the Aeroport Henri Coandă station to București Nord (Gara de Nord) and takes 25 minutes. Change there to one of about 20 direct trains a day to Brașov; take an InterRegio (IR) or InterCity (IC) train, the fastest of which take 2 h 15 min. A second-class InterRegio ticket from Gara de Nord costs 75 lei. The [CFR journey planner](https://bilete.cfrcalatori.ro/ro-RO/Rute-trenuri/Bucuresti-Nord/Brasov) sells the airport-to-Brașov journey as one ticket: on the day we checked, the 06:32 airport train with IC 535 cost 87.26 lei and reached Brașov at 09:36.
- **From Băneasa:** there is no train from this airport. Take a [Bolt](https://bolt.eu/en/cities/bucharest/) or Uber to Gara de Nord, about 9 km by road (14 minutes without traffic, according to OpenStreetMap routing), and catch the train there.
- **Landing late or with a lot of luggage:** minibuses leave Otopeni Arrivals for Brașov until late evening.
