In summer (in recent years from mid-June to mid-October) a through couchette car runs between Istanbul Halkalı and Bucharest, attached to the Sofia train. The rest of the year you change in Bulgaria, or take one of the short direct flights or long-distance buses. Our sister guide, the ULTIMATE Bucharest City Guide, covers the Romanian capital.
