Getting There & Away
Bus
Ploieşti has several bus stations. The main station is the southern bus station (Autogara
Sud; 0244-522 230; Str Depoului 9-11) , which is adjacent to the southern train station.
From here, you can catch buses to Bucharest (14 lei, one hour, several daily), Câmpina (6
lei, 30 minutes, eight daily) and Târgovişte (10 lei, 90 minutes, six daily). For other des-
tinations, consult the website www.autogari.ro .
Train
The city has two main passenger train stations, so always ask which station your train de-
parts from. Many domestic trains, including those to Bucovina and Moldavia, leave from
the southern station (Gara de Sud; www.cfr.ro ) . This station also serves international
destinations such as Moscow, Sofia and Chişinău. For trips to Transylvania and interna-
tional destinations such as Budapest and Vienna, use the western station (Gara de Vest;
www.cfr.ro ) . Bucharest trains arrive at and depart from either station, so consult the
timetable.
