“Gara de Nord”, “București Nord”, and “Bucharest North” usually refer to the main railway hub. However, a train platform, a metro entrance and a coach station are different boarding locations. Take a moment to identify the next leg of your trip.
Follow these steps
- For national trainsFind your train in the operator’s timetable or the Infofer journey information, then follow station departure boards for the train number and platform.
- For Bucharest metroUse the metro entrances serving the Gara de Nord area. Consult the Metrorex map for line and direction; do not guess from the station name alone.
- For the airport trainThe direct rail link connects București Nord with Henri Coandă Airport. Check the train-specific departure information and the airport station access guide.
- For intercity coachesAutogara Militari, Filaret and Obor are separate facilities across Bucharest. Confirm the operator’s exact coach terminal and plan the transfer.
Important before travel
Do not assume every coach with “Bucharest” in its ticket departs from Gara de Nord. Check the specified coach terminal.
