If you want to get from Bucharest to Iasi, then you should take the train on the IR 1661 line from Bucharest North Station to Iasi. The journey will take about six hours, so it might be an idea to book a sleeper car. If you want to visit the Salina Turda amusement park, then a bus would be a good idea – you can take the Feny bus from Bucharest to Turda and then catch a taxi to the amusement park.

If you’re looking to experience the Romanian culture, be on the lookout for the Sighișoara Medieval Festival, which is held every year in the town of Sighişoara towards the end of July. The festival is a celebration of Romanian history and gives visitors a chance to step back in time and see what life was like for the average Romanian in the Middle Ages. The Bucharest Photofest happens every October in the capital of Romania and features some of the most important pieces of photography in the region. If you’re in Romania in October, it would certainly be worth your while to see the festival in action.
