Getting Around

You can travel around the city by public transport or by taxi. Of course the public transport is cheaper, and at rush hours the underground is probably a lot faster. But it's much easier to just get a taxi. In the capital, the price for a decent taxi is the equivalent of about 0.50 euros per kilometer. It's best to just ask at the hotel or the restaurant for a taxi and they will know what company to call. But if you are on the street it is suggested you don't just pick up any taxi when you see it. Here is a list of just a few of the companies you can trust: Grand Taxi, Fly Taxi, Taxi 2000, Taxi Cobalcescu, Taxi Meridian, Taxi Total, Comfort Taxi, Tess Taxi, Domino Taxi.
