Keep the destination specific
București Nord to Constanța has direct CFR trains, with faster services taking around two hours. A ticket to Constanța does not automatically continue to Mamaia or another resort. Read the final station before comparing a train with a coach or hotel transfer.
Check the date, not just the summer timetable
CFR’s journey planner shows the train category, reservation and price for your departure. Summer brings extra coastal services, but their operating dates vary. Softrans’s separate coastal timetable ends on 15 September in its published 2026 programme; do not use that seasonal train as a year-round assumption.
Choose the last leg before arrival
From Constanța station, compare the local bus route to your room with a taxi quote, especially with beach bags or a late arrival. CT Bus sells a 3 RON single and separate timed products. The old peninsula suits a walk and meal; a beach stay may need a longer transfer. Keep both that ride and the intercity fare in the budget.
Plan the arrival
Continue with the Constanța guide when choosing a base and local visits. Add this journey separately to your daily spending plan. The distance above compares the city centres in a straight line; the route you travel can be longer.
