Transportation from the airport to the Caro Hotel
Variant 1
Licensed taxis without prior request, with fares between 1.89 lei/km and 3.5 lei/km, will be available for passengers arriving at Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport. These cars will be situated in a taxi station located at the exit of the terminal and will take passengers in order of arrival.
The touch screen terminals for taxi requests will still be available for customers who want to order a taxi from a certain company.
Approaching customers, both by taxi drivers and by middlemen, is sanctioned by taxi law (Law 38/2003). Any violation of the law in the airport area shall be handled by the Transport Police (phone number: +4021 201 3242).
Variant 2
Use Uber or Bolt if you have one of these applications installed.
Variant 3
Using the hotel shuttle buses. To book such a shuttle bus, it is necessary to contact the hotel 24 h in advance. Fees are 18 euros for 1 person, 10 euros per person for 2 persons, and 14 euros per person for 3-6 persons. When booking, the hotel needs to know the day of your arrival, the time of landing, the flight number, your name, and your phone.
Transportation from the hotel to downtown
Use Uber or Bolt if you have one of these applications installed or use public transportation - the metro is the best choice. The station Aurel Vlaicu is located at 10 min walking distance from the hotel. You have to go down at the station Universitate or Piata Unirii, depending on what would you like to visit.
Free time in Bucharest
For those arriving in advance and having time to visit Bucharest, our suggestions are the Village Museum, the National Art Museum, Zambaccian Museum, The National History Museum of Romania
For Sunday evening, our recommendation is to go to the Urban Fountains (metro station Piata Unirii) to listen to and watch the Water Symphony. It starts at 9.30.
