The nearest major airport is the Bucharest Henri Coanda International Airport (also known as Otopeni – OTP / LROP). Reaching Sinaia from the Bucharest airport:
- Take the bus 780 – an express connection between Henri Coanda Airport and North Railway Station in Bucharest (“Gara de Nord”). Tickets should be bought before boarding the bus, from the designated vending machine or from the ticket booth. The bus leaves every 30-40 min. and the journey takes about 45-50 min. (except rush hour).
For a shuttle bus and train connection to the North Railway Station in Bucharest please see this link.
Alternatively, you can take a taxi to North Railway Station, but please be careful to take an official one (those waiting in line at the Arrival Terminal, not drivers trying to pick you up inside the airport). - Take a train to Sinaia. Trains leave almost every hour from 7 am to 10 pm and the journey takes about 1h30min. You can find the timetables here (departure station, in Romanian “Plecare”: Bucuresti Nord, arrival station, in Romanian “Destinatie”: Sinaia) (please check the duration of the trip and avoid regional trains “R” which take 2h40min).
- The train station in Sinaia is within walking distance (5 minutes) to Palace and Caraiman hotels.
