Frequently Asked Questions

  • Romania is part of the European Union. Many travelers (including those from the United States, Canada, the UK, and most EU countries) do not need a visa for short tourist visits. Please check the Romanian embassy website for the most up-to-date visa requirements based on your nationality.

  • You should fly into Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP) in Bucharest. From Bucharest, Sinaia is about 1.5–2 hours away by train or car.

    • Train from Bucharest North Station (Gara de Nord) to Sinaia (~1.5 hours)

    • Private car transfer (~2 hours)
