Delegates traveling to Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP) can reach The Marmorosch Bucharest, Autograph Collection using several convenient transportation options. The hotel is approximately 18 km (11 miles) from the airport, with a travel time of around 30–40 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.

Recommended Transportation Options: 

Taxi or Ride-Share: Taxis are available at the designated taxi ranks outside the arrivals terminal. Ride-sharing services like Bolt and Uber also operate from the airport, providing a reliable and cost-effective option for direct transport to the hotel. 

Public Transportation: Express Bus (Line 783 or 784): These buses connect the airport to the city center, running frequently throughout the day. Delegates can take either bus and get off at Universitate Square, which is a short walk from the hotel.

Train + Metro: A train runs from Henri Coandă Airport to Gara de Nord (Bucharest’s main train station), where travelers can transfer to the M1 metro line and reach the Universitate or Unirii metro stations, both within walking distance of The Marmorosch Bucharest. 

Rental Car: For those who prefer flexibility, car rental services are available at the airport. The drive to the hotel is straightforward via DN1/E60 and follows major city roads. However, parking in central Bucharest can be limited.

Hotel Transfer Service: Some visitors may opt for a pre-arranged private transfer or shuttle service. Please contact [email protected] to order their limosine service.

Getting around Bucharest is relatively easy, with multiple transportation options available to suit different preferences and budgets. Here are some of the best ways to navigate the city:

Public Transportation: Bucharest has an efficient and affordable public transport system, including buses, trams, trolleybuses, and the metro (subway). The metro is the fastest and most reliable way to travel longer distances, with four lines connecting key parts of the city. Buses and trams cover extensive routes but can be slower due to traffic. Tickets can be purchased via the STB mobile app or at kiosks near stations.

Ride-Sharing Services & Taxis: Uber, Bolt, and Free Now operate in Bucharest, offering convenient and reasonably priced ride-sharing options. Licensed taxis are also available, but it's best to use ride-hailing apps to avoid overcharging.

Walking: Many central areas, such as the Old Town, Victoriei Avenue, and parks like Cișmigiu and Herăstrău, are best explored on foot. The city’s mix of historic and modern architecture makes for an enjoyable stroll.

Biking & Scooters: While Bucharest isn’t the most bike-friendly city, bike-sharing and electric scooters (such as Lime and Bolt) are available for short-distance travel. Be mindful of traffic and pedestrian areas.

Car Rental: Renting a car is an option for those looking to explore beyond the city, such as day trips to Transylvania or the Black Sea coast. However, traffic congestion and limited parking in central areas make it less convenient for getting around Bucharest itself.

Train & Long-Distance Buses: If you plan to travel outside the city, the main train station (Gara de Nord) connects Bucharest to other Romanian cities, while long-distance buses operate from multiple terminals.

For most visitors, a combination of the metro, ride-sharing, and walking offers the best balance of convenience, cost, and ease while exploring Bucharest.
