If you're flying to Bucharest, you'll land at the Henri Coanda International Airport, more commonly known as the Otopeni Airport. You then have to travel about 20 km to reach the city centre and, unless you have a friend to pick you up or you prefer to rent a car, you can choose between several transport options: the bus, the train, or the taxi and ridesharing services.
The Henri Coanda International Airport (OTP) is actually located in the town of Otopeni, about 20 km north of Bucharest, which is why it is most commonly known as the Otopeni Airport. It is the largest and the busiest airport in Romania, with about 45 airlines operating routes to destinations around the world. Its official website is here.
