Transport in Bucharest

Getting around Bucharest is straightforward, thanks to a wide variety of transport options: the metro, trams and buses, as well as trains and the ubiquitous taxis.

To get around easily within Bucharest, you can use public transport that reaches all quarters of the capital: travel by metro (metrou), tram (tramvai), bus (autobus) and trolleybus (troleibuz), all operated by RATB.
