Train services between Romania and Serbia have been suspended in late 2017. There is no regular bus connecting these cities, the same goes for Belgrade. Travelling to/from Szeged you have 2 trains daily at 7:50h and 14:48h: going first to Budapest and changing at Bekecsaba, arriving in Szeged at resp. There are direct trains daily from Budapest (a 4 hours trip), Vienna (8 hours) and Munich (15 hours). Do not respond to offers to the town centre by rogue taxis. Remember to use the taxis included on this site (see below) - use your mobile, in fact Tudo Taxis have a large sign with their number! They (and others below) will not rip you off. Just outside the airport (on the roundabout) sits a faithful and rather touching reproduction of Traian Vuia's early aircraft - a cross between a bedstead, a bicycle and an insect - with its propellor casually turning in the wind.
There is a smoking "cabin" and the toilets are (as is all the airport) very well kept. There are two small self-service "bars" (after check in and security, one upstairs and one down) but no formal restaurant or bar. Timişoara airport is small and has very few retail outlets (just the one "duty free" shop) and minimal refreshment facilities. Public Transport between Timişoara is slow and virtually non-existent.Įxpress Bus line 4 links the airport with central Timisoara and line 4B goes to the main train station (fare: 2.5 RON (one way), tickets available at the parking ticket pay desk inside the terminal) the bus stop is located next to the domestic terminal (turn right when leaving the international terminal). Note that unless you are booking a hire-car on arrival, Beograd (Belgrade) Airport in Serbia (which appears to be close by) is not convenient. Tour operators/airlines report that a remarkable number of people do make the mistake when booking! These unfortunates end up not only in the wrong city but in the wrong country! Do not confuse Budapest (in Hungary) with Bucharest the capital of Romania. As Timişoara airport now has relatively few international connections, the option to fly from/to Budapest (in Hungary) is one taken by many visitors and Romanians, especially after the drastic reductions of services at Timişoara Airport in 2014. In addition there are regular express buses (some luxury) directly from Budapest Airport in Hungary (cost around 130 Lei) which take only three and a half hours. That said, if your local airport only has direct flights to those airports it may be worth staying in a hotel to continue the next day to Timişoara.
Beware of looking at a map to decide that the airports in Targu-Mures, Cluj, and Sibiu seem quite close by! By road or rail travel is likely to take many hours more than in Western Europe. That airport is (from April 2015) closed for complete reconstruction. Ī Romanian alternative to Timişoara Airport was the nearby airport in Arad.
The flight takes less than an hour a transfer at Bucuresti Airport therefore can be a convenient alternative to flying directly to Timişoara. The domestic airfare from Bucuresti (Otopeni/Henri-Coanda)to Timisoara can be cheaper than the first class sleeper train the train takes at least nine hours with no refreshment facilities. Whilst Lufthansa is not a budget airline, their fares (even with a transfer) can match those of budget airlines who fly direct, if booked from the Lufthansa site and as one ticket. For the sumer, Blue Air operates Constanta (Black Sea).Ĭonnections to and from many European destinations (such as Manchester, UK) can be made by Lufthansa via Munich. com has domestic flights (not all daily) to Cluj Napoca and Iasi. Ryan Air has flights to Bergamo and Bucharest.Wizz Air has flights (not all daily) to Bari, Barcelona, Bergamo, Bologna, Brussels Charleroi, Dortmund, Eindhoven, Frankfurt Hahn, London Luton, Madrid, Memmingen (Munich West), Paris Beauvais, Rome Ciampino, Tel Aviv, Treviso and Valencia.Lufthansa has daily flights to Munich.
There are direct flights to 19 international destinations and 3 domestic destinations: The city is served by Romania's third-largest airport, Traian Vuia International Airport, located 10 km away from the city center. Timisoara is also known as the city of roses and parks, and has a very green face, especially in spring, when tulips abound.
