What can you do in Bucharest?

Bucharest’s documented history stretches back to 1459. However, it didn’t become Romania’s capital until 1862. Through the centuries the city has witnessed a diverse range of art and historic movements that have left their stamp on the city’s unique culture. When creating your Bucharest travel itinerary, you might want to include the following attractions in your plans:

Bucharest Old Town

Bucharest’s Old Town, once dubbed ‘Little Paris,’ brims with cobblestoned streets, old-world shops, and quaint cafes. Some of this area’s architecture dates to the 15th and 16th centuries. Long a crossroads for travelers between East and West, the Old Town retains the city’s historic charm even though the areas surrounding it have been modernized.

National Museum of Art of Romania

National Museum of Romanian History in Bucharest

Housed in the Royal Palace, the National Museum of Art of Romania is one of the city’s most illustrious cultural attractions. Filled with historic and priceless works of art, the museum boasts the best collection in the world of historic and contemporary Romanian art. The palace in which the museum resides is a world-class attraction in its own right.

Romanian Athenaeum

Home to the George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra, the Romanian Athenaeum holds more than 650 seats and is the city’s premier concert hall. Completed in 1888, the building boasts a central dome that’s more than 40 metres above ground and stunning Greek columns. If possible, procure tickets to a concert when you’re visiting Bucharest.

Where should you stay in Bucharest?

Bucharest features a dazzling array of historic and high-end hotels, including world-class establishments and charming boutique hotels. Many of the city’s hotels are complemented by their own unique charm as well as must-have amenities like on-site restaurants, swimming pools, and spa treatments. After booking your flight with LunaJets, consider making reservations for a stay at any of these renowned hotels:

Frequently Asked Questions

What transfers can I arrange from Bucharest airports into the city or nearby destinations?

From the private terminal, a chauffeured car can take you into central Bucharest in about 30 minutes. Luxury vehicles and vans can also be arranged for longer journeys, such as to Brașov in around two and a half hours or the Black Sea resorts in three hours. Helicopter transfers are available on request, offering faster access to destinations across Romania.

Can I bring pets on a private jet to Bucharest? What are the rules?

Yes. Pets can travel in the cabin with you when flying private to Bucharest, as long as they meet EU entry requirements. They must be microchipped, vaccinated against rabies, and accompanied by a valid veterinary health certificate. For a first rabies vaccination, a 21-day waiting period applies before travel. Inform your LunaJets advisor in advance if you plan to bring a pet so we can confirm the latest rules and ensure a smooth arrival in Romania.

What are the entry requirements when flying private to Bucharest?

Private jet passengers arriving in Bucharest must follow Romania’s standard entry rules. EU and Schengen nationals may enter with a valid passport or national ID card. Travellers from outside the area generally need a passport valid for at least three months beyond departure and, if required, a Romanian visa obtained in advance. From late 2026, visa-exempt nationals such as those from the US, UK, and Canada will also need to complete the ETIAS travel authorisation before travelling. Your LunaJets advisor will confirm the latest requirements for your nationality and assist with the paperwork.

Are there curfews or restricted operating hours at Bucharest airports for private jets?

Bucharest has two airports that welcome private jets. Henri Coandă (OTP), the main international airport, operates 24 hours a day with no curfew, and customs are available at all times. Băneasa (BBU), closer to the city centre, is also open 24 hours but restricts heavier aircraft: jets over 50 tonnes cannot operate between 22:00 and 06:00.

How far in advance should I book a private jet to Bucharest?

It’s best to book a few weeks in advance to secure your preferred aircraft and slots, particularly during the summer months, the George Enescu International Festival in September, or major international conferences in the capital, when demand at Henri Coandă and Băneasa is higher. That said, LunaJets often succeeds in arranging flights to Bucharest at short notice, even when demand is high.
