First Class Train Trip in Romania: The Journey to Bucharest
Sleeper Car Experience: Budapest Hungary to Bucharest Romania.
Ride along overnight on a Trans-Balkan Express train service from Budapest Hungary to Bucharest Romania. Taking 16 hours and covering near 1000 KM experience Eastern European trains, sleeper cars, scenery, train stations, and countryside. An amazing experience costing about 76 US per person, we experienced travelling the old fashioned way - by Train. Come along for the ride !
Ister Train | Overnight Train Budapest to Bucharest | Travel Day
We had one LOOONG travel day. First the bus from Zagreb, Croatia to Budapest, Hungary. Then we boarded the Ister Train (EN 473) to take us from Budapest to Bucharest, Romania. We've been on a few sleeper trains, and this one wasn't the best but it also wasn't the worst. We booked a 2 person private sleeper which is in one of the oldest train cars. All in all it was a good trip, we caught some sleep, and we saved a little bit of money. If you're planning this trip, just don't expect too many frills... and bring your own toilet paper.

Riviera Travel Transylvania & Bucharest Escorted Tour
Transylvania evokes visions of towering Gothic castles set in densely forested mountains, but this atmospheric ‘land beyond the forest’, deep in the heart of Romania, holds countless wonders waiting to be discovered. In contrast is the bustling capital city, Bucharest, which proudly bears the scars of a communist past – just one of the many intriguing chapters of the nation’s rich and lengthy history.

Free Walking Tour in Bucharest, Romania ????????
With every new city or country, Caroline and I make sure to take a free walking tour to kick off our time spent there. This time we're in Bucharest, Romania where we spent two weeks hunkering down and getting some work done out of so many wonderful coffee shops and restaurants. We also got into a couple of fun activities which we will share in future videos.
Free walking tours can be hit or miss depending on where you are in the world and who you take them with. However, this walking tour was one that we really enjoyed and Livia our guide was super knowledgable and great and explaining Romania's history. We'd highly recommend checking out Walk About Free Tours if you are ever in the city.

10 Hour Train Ride From Sofia to Bucharest | Longest Travel Day Ever
This is one of the longest travel days we've had so far, so we decided to make a #travelvlog to document it for you guys!. We had to wake up at 3 AM to catch a 4:45 AM train from Plovdiv to Sofia. Then, we take a 10 hour train ride from #Sofia to #Bucharest, and don't arrive until 7 PM!
We don't typically do videos like this where we show a day where we're traveling from one city to another. But this travel day was especially long, so we thought we'd take you along! Be sure to drop us a comment if this is something you'd like to see again :)
Thanks so much for watching! Don’t forget to like and subscribe :)

How To travel easy and cheap from Bucharest Airport to Bucharest City Center with less than 1 Euro
SMS number changed to the old one: 7458 !
More details here: - instructions are in Romanian only
Beware ! Fines for not having (SMS ticket or electronic card ticket) or not validating a ticket on electronic card or not validating your electronic card for those who have monthly passes increased 10 times, up to 500 RON (lei), from the end of 2018 ! So, don't forget to send an SMS and check the confirmation message before boarding !
Important ! SMS number is now 7464 ! ... from May, 2018.
Prices and the other details remain the same.
SMS payment resumed !
Same details ... but a bit cheaper: 0.72 Euro + VAT per one trip or 3.91 RON (all taxes included), as on June 15, 2017.
From Bucharest Airport to City Center with less than 1 euro !
You can reach from Bucharest Henri Coanda (Otopeni) Airport to Bucharest City Center or Bucharest North Railway Station (which is the city main railway station) using public transport.
No taxis, no rip-off, no tourist scams, no Romanian language needed, no tickets ...
What it's needed: a mobile phone with some prepaid credit - no more than 1 euro or a valid provider subscription and roaming activated.
There are 2 public bus lines that connect the Airport with Bucharest.
One is no. 783, the most common and the most frequent one.
It connects the Airport with City Center, stopping at, in this order: Piata Victoriei (Victory Square), Piata Romana (Romana Square), Universitate/Piata 21 Decembrie 1989 (University / December 21, 1989 Square) and Piata Unirii (Unirii Square) - end of 783 line. Those stations are only the ones in the city center.
A complete end to end trip (Airport to Piata Unirii or reverse), no matter the direction takes ~45 minutes in normal traffic conditions.
The other line is no. 780.
It connects the Airport with Gara de Nord (North Railway Station) and the last stop is Gara Basarab (Basarab Railway Station) near Gara de Nord.
This line is less frequent and it should be taken only if you want to go to this area or you plan to take a train to other Romanian city.
The most important thing ... how to pay !
Before boarding, send a SMS to 7458 containing text E783 if you are boarding line 783 or E780 if you are boarding line 780.
In a few seconds, you will receive a message that will confirm your purchase.
This SMS confirmation is valid for one trip and should be kept until you have finished your trip.
Please note that confirmation is only in Romanian. However, if you received a SMS as presented in video, everything it's alright.
The cost is ONLY 0.75 Euro + VAT (24% maximum VAT ~ 0.18 Euro), meaning a total of 0.93 Euro a single trip from Bucharest Airport to city center (or in the opposite way).
There is the same cost for both express lines (783 or 780) in both directions.
In Romanian lei, this will be 3.99 lei, because the public transport company has an exchange rate of 4.44 lei per 1 Euro, a bit less than 4.51 - the official rate when this video was created.
This SMS is free of charge from Vodafone, Telekom and DigiMobil mobile networks. Orange mobile network takes a small fee of 0.05 Euro + VAT added to those 0.93 Euro, meaning a total of 0.992 Euro.
For comparison, a taxi on these routes would have cost 35-40 lei (~8 or 9 Euro) ... in the case that would have a standard rate of 1.39 lei / km, without any meter scams activated and with a 5-10% tip. Those are only the ordinary tariffs. The are taxis charging 3.5 lei / km or worse, trying to impose a high price from the start or to charge you in euro/usd.
Avoid them and use the public transport if possible ! ... it's 10 times cheaper !
One more important thing ...
You can use this way of payment to buy a ticket valid for an entire day on all public transport buses, trolley buses and trams (WITHOUT subway) operating inside Bucharest, except Suburb lines (you won't need them at all for visiting Bucharest) and Express lines (the ones going to and from Airport - 783 and 780, described above).
Just send a SMS containing A (only this letter, capitalized) at 7458 (the same number previously mentioned).
Entire cost is 1.65 Euro + VAT ~= 2,046 Euro in total (or 8.79 lei).
Last but not least:
The overcharge / fine for being caught without a valid ticket or SMS is 50 lei, almost 11 Euro, if it's paid on the spot.
Please note that ticket inspectors are wearing blue vests having written CONTROL on the back and ratb in the front left with white reflective letters.
Getting From Romania to Bulgaria By Bus - Bucharest to Sofia
Getting From Romania to Bulgaria By Bus - Bucharest to Sofia is easy on the FlixBus. We did this trip and found it to be comfortable and efficient.
The trip took around 7 hours and left from Autogara Militaria Bus Station in Bucharest, which is about 7km from the Old Town Bucharest Area.
The drop off point was Serika Bus Station in Sofia, Bulgaria. This is a strange bus station in that you won't see a taxi rank or ATM's at the bus station. But if you walk behind the bus station there is a huge supermarket with a taxi rank and an ATM machine inside.
The border crossing from Romania into Bulgaria was easy, they just collected our passports, took them into the immigration office whilst we remained on the Flixbus. The whole process only took about 20 minutes and we never had to leave our seats. Easy.
The bus had a toilet on board and was very clean and modern. There was however no wifi and no entertainment system. But it was very cheap so no complaints.

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started traveling full-time January 10, 2016. While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! Now travel vlogging is our full-time gig and we feel like we have the greatest job in the world! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

Instahood stories
Join us for a visit to the neighborhood known as the Montmartre of Bucharest, thanks to its beautiful 19th-century architecture. But as we believe in calling a spade a spade and a fig a fig, we’ll tell you the real local story.
Bucharest Chronicles
For a back to basics tour, we give you an overview of our recent past and our older much more glorious history. Starting from the University Square - probably the most popular meeting point in the city, we then move along Calea Victoriei where aristocrats, merchants, communist officials and then new capitalists shouldered each other, in their respective eras, to get a place on the city’s oldest route.
Uncover hidden charms in Mahallopolis
This experience is for the curious, the bold, and the spirited. We'll depart from the Old Town via the subway to visit one of the oldest and most beautiful cemeteries in town. It’s basically an open air museum similar to the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris or London's Highgate Cemetery. Enchanted by the eerie stories, we’ll take a turn through a lively park unknown to many tourists but cherished by the locals.
Fairytale Travels Through Romania + Visiting Dracula's Castle
Romania is every travelers fairytale fantasy of towering castle walls, cobblestone promenades, dark forests and folklore of centuries past such as Count Dracula. Take a tour of some of the most famous castles such as Peles and Bran Castle, walk though the old Medieval town of Brasov and enjoy my sleep deprived (but still truly excited) commentary! Hope you enjoy it! xo
