01

Arrive

  • Fly into Henri Coanda International Airport (OTP).
  • Use the airport train, express bus, or ride-hailing depending on time and luggage.
  • Avoid unmetered taxis. Check transfer details again before a real trip.
02

Move

  • Use the metro for longer jumps across the city.
  • Walk inside each area instead of jumping between too many pins.
  • Use ride-hailing at night or when public transport stops being convenient.
03

Stay

  • Calea Victoriei or Universitate is easiest for a first visit.
  • Dorobanti and Floreasca are better for quieter nights and restaurants.
  • Old Town is convenient, but it can be loud when you need sleep.
04

Use the app

  • Start with Areas if you are deciding where to go now.
  • Start with Routes if you want a ready-made plan.
  • Use Highlights as saved stops, not as a checklist you must finish.
