• From the airport ( ~40 minutes) :
• Otopeni: express bus 783, which you catch in front of the airport and get off at ‘Piata Romana’ stop. The bus runs non-stop, day and night and on the week-edns too. Cross the street but keep walking forwards, go past Mc. Donald's for another 200m and at the next crossing turn left (vodafone store on the corner) and then right and you'll find yourself on Vasile Conta where on your left hand you have the entrance of a bar called 'Have A Cigar'.

• Bus and taxi info
• The 783 express bus runs non-stop; you have to get the ticket from the booth, NOT on the bus.
• The other city buses run from 5:00 until 23:00. There's night buses too but they run every half an hour after 23.00.
• If you prefer to take a taxi – taxis are 1.40 lei/km, anything else is a rip off. The price is around 40 lei from the airport. You can get reliable taxies not in front of the airport but out in the parking lot, or out closer to the main street. You will have to go outside, on the main street and get a taxi there.
• If you have a cell phone you can call : Meridian taxi – 0040 21 9444 ; Taxi 2000 – 0040 21 9494 ; Confort taxi – 0040 21 9421 ( The Romania code is 0040, I quoted the numbers as if you called from a foreign country cell phone).
