Today it’s a vibrant metropolis that’s home to more than 8 million people, and is one of the most visited cities in the world.

Flying from Bucharest
The larger of two airports serving Romania’s capital, Henri Coandă International Airport is a busy international air transport hub that is growing in importance in Europe.
It is currently undergoing a massive, multi-million dollar improvement programme that will expand its capacity for both arrivals and departures, including flights from Bucharest with Qatar Airways.
The airport is approximately 16.5km from the city centre, and the staff will ensure that your departure is smooth, hassle-free and easy.
Transportation and parking
The airport is particularly well served by public transport, with a train station less than a kilometre from the main terminal.
Buses ferry passengers to and from the station, as well as from the city centre’s bus station – journey times from the heart of Bucharest are approximately 30-60 minutes, depending on the time of day (rush hour can be particularly busy).
Taxis are plentiful and take around 20-40 minutes, again depending on traffic conditions, and some major hotels also run airport shuttle services.
Short-term parking is located close to the terminals, with long-stay facilities a little further away and connected to the main airport by shuttle services.
Arriving in Otopeni, Bucharest
Passengers flying from Bucharest with Qatar Airways depart from the Departures Hall within the main terminal building.
As the terminal is particularly large, ensure that you allow plenty of time before your plane departs to check in and clear security checks and customs.
Facilities and amenities
The terminal is split into two with a shop-lined walkway connecting the two. In the departures section there are plenty of dining options, including snacks and takeaway drinks and light bites, through to more substantial restaurant-style meals.
Shops offer a selection of goods and accessories, including some very good quality leather items. Wi-Fi is free and public telephones are plentiful (note that they use pre-paid cards rather than cash – cards are available to buy throughout the airport).
Other facilities include a hairdresser, a public viewing gallery and a pharmacy, as well as several lounge areas for passengers.

Tourist attractions
Many of the city’s best known sights can be found in the historic centre within the Rattanakosin district.
The most spectacular attraction is the Grand Palace, which was once home to the King of Thailand and today offers visitors a rich mixture of history and architectural splendour.
Within the palace grounds you’ll also discover Thailand’s holiest temple, Wat Phra Kaew. Other highlights in Rattanakosin include the large reclining Buddha statue at Wat Pho and the Thai-European fusion of Wat Ratchabophit.
