There are frequent trains from other Romanian cities and daily connections to other European capitals such as Budapest, Vienna and Prague. Between Brașov and Bucharest there are frequent trains during the day - almost every hour.

Another way, which is even cheaper and sometimes faster than the train, is to travel by bus, which is offered by several private transport companies.

This road is particularly congested at weekends and traffic jams are frequent, especially towards Bucharest.

The road E68 leads you to Făgăraș, Sibiu and then to Timișoara and Arad as well as to Hungary.

The E574 road will take you north to Sf. Gheorghe, Târgu Secuiesc and then to Moldova.
