You can get to Busteni by road or by train.

There are also buses linking Busteni to major cities (Bucharest, Brasov, Ploiest etc) and nearby resorts (Sinaia, Predeal).

By train, Busteni is situated on the main track linking Bucharest and Brasov, and all trains stop here (P,A,R,IC).

Taxis are an inexpensive way to get around the town (5 RON/2 euros from the train station to hotel). Buses also run between nearby towns.

  • Busteni is a resort for people who enjoy the mountain. The view is fantastic.
  • In the winter you can practice winter sports on the Kalinderu ski slope. There are several equipment rental stores with fair prices. Also you can rent ATVs.
