Flights to Romania
Bucharest is reached with a single connection from Colombo, and it has become an increasingly common route for study and work travel to Europe, as well as tourism to a country of castles and mountains.
Route overview
Getting to Romania from Sri Lanka
A one-stop connection through the Gulf or Istanbul reaches Bucharest, and from there the rest of Romania — Transylvania, the Carpathians and the Black Sea coast — is within easy reach. We book it often for students and workers as well as tourists.
Summer and the September study intake are the busiest windows. The winter and early-spring months usually offer the best fares. As travel is visa-controlled, apply and book well ahead.
