How to Get to Timisoara

Travel to Timișoara can be less straightforward than to larger hubs, so we recommend checking not only direct options but also nearby alternatives. As the European Forum on Music will take place from 8 to 12 June, this page is intended to help participants plan their journey as easily as possible. Here, you will find relevant information tracking flights in and out of Timișoara, together with a practical guide to nearby alternative airports and useful ground transportation tips. 

For those travelling via Hungary, there are also FlixBus connections between Budapest Airport and Timișoara, which may offer a convenient alternative.
