How to get to the venue
From abroad
There is no airport in Predeal and the nearest international airports are either in Bucharest or in Brasov. From there follow the instructions in the ‘From Predeal’ section.
Bucharest
Outside the Arrivals terminal there are a train station and a bus stop.
If you plan to travel to Predeal by train and your flight allows you to take the train from the airport, that would be the easiest way. There are 6 trains that run between the airport (Otopeni Nord PO) and the Central Train Station in Bucharest (Bucuresti Nord), half in the morning and half in the afternoon. It is possible to buy a connection ticket to Predeal directly and the system will give you the feasible options based on possible combinations between the train connecting the airport to Bucuresti Nord and options for route Bucuresti Nord to Predeal. There is no direct train from the airport to Predeal.
Alternatively, if the train transfer from the airport to the train station is not feasible for you (for example, wait time from landing until next train is too long), you can take city bus number 100 which runs every 15 minutes during the day (6 AM – 11 PM) and every 30 minutes during the night. You can find more information about it here. The bus does not go to the train station so you should get off at Piata Victoriei stop and take the subway (yellow line) 1 stop to Gara de Nord (towards Republica) from there.
