Travel to Brasov

Inter Regio (abbreviated IR, formerly Rapid and Accelerat) trains are also a comfortable and fast alternative. The cheapest way are the local trains labeled as Regio (abbreviated R before their route number, previously called Personal). There are three of these per day, and besides the some of them are quite low on comfort, they take nearly twice the time to get there, since they stop at every minor station, but nevertheless they're a good way to know better about the local people. Train tickets for the Personal are very cheap, while for the InterCity they are the most expensive. Trains also arrive in Braşov from Iaşi, Suceava, Baia Mare, Satu Mare or Constanţa.

Car

Aside from the train, car is one of the most popular ways of reaching Braşov, due to its fairly good road connections. Road E60 is the main route to use in and out or Braşov, because this European route links Braşov to Bucharest in the south, as well as to Cluj-Napoca, Oradea and Budapest, Hungary in the northwest. Road E68 takes you to Sibiu and further onwards to Arad and Timişoara. Road E574 takes you towards northeast, to the Moldavia region and the Painted Monasteries.

Winter tires are now mandatory in Romania when driving on snowy and icy roads. If you're coming in the winter season make sure that your car is completely equipped with tires bearing the M+S designation.

Bus

There are quite a few intercity bus operators, but these aren't as comfortable and reliable as the train.
