Bucharest → Sinaia: key facts

Getting from Bucharest Airport (OTP) to Sinaia takes about 1h 45min by car on an empty road (1h 45min – 2h 15min in heavy traffic) over 109 km via DN1. Our private transfer costs €90 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €130 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits in the public arrivals hall of the Arrivals Terminal at Henri Coandă Airport (Otopeni), after baggage reclaim and the customs exit, holding a sign with your name. At Băneasa - Aurel Vlaicu Airport (BBU) the driver waits at the arrivals exit of the terminal. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Sinaia is a mountain resort in the Prahova Valley, on the southern slope of the Bucegi Mountains, about 108 km north of the airport. The drive follows the A3 motorway towards Ploiești and then DN1 north through Câmpina and Comarnic, where the road leaves the plain and climbs into the narrow wooded valley. A vignette (rovinieta) is required on national roads. Weekend traffic between Bucharest and the mountains is heavy on DN1, especially on Friday afternoons, Sunday evenings and on winter weekends.

The town spreads along the valley at around 800 metres. Peleș Castle, the former summer residence of the Romanian kings, and the smaller Pelișor Castle stand in a park above the town; the last part of the way to them is a walk from the parking area. Sinaia Monastery is on the same hillside, and a cable car leaves from the upper town towards the Bucegi plateau. In winter the slopes above Sinaia are used for skiing, while in summer the town is a base for hiking; most hotels lie along the main road and the streets climbing the hill.

Public transport instead: Romanian railways (airport rail link) train Henri Coandă Airport - Bucharest North from Henri Coandă Airport railway station to Bucharest North railway station (Gara de Nord) — about 20–25 min, every 40 min, 24 hours a day. Romanian railways train Bucharest North - Prahova Valley - Brașov line from Henri Coandă Airport railway station (change at Bucharest North) to Sinaia railway station, 1 change. No direct public transport from the airport to Sinaia is listed. The usual combination is the airport train to Bucharest North (Gara de Nord) and a train on the Prahova Valley line, which stops in Sinaia on its way to Brașov.
