DevCon meets in Bucharest in early November, when the plane trees along the boulevards have turned and the city's café terraces move indoors. Romania's capital is a study in abrupt contrasts: interwar villas and Belle Époque arcades interrupted by the enormous scale of Ceaușescu-era planning. It is also one of the cheapest European capitals for food and accommodation, and has the fastest consumer internet on the continent, which developers notice immediately.
Henri Coandă (OTP) lies 17 kilometres north of the centre. A rail shuttle links the terminal to Gara de Nord in about 25 minutes, and express bus 783 runs to Piața Unirii in 40 to 50 minutes depending on traffic. Ride-hailing apps are widely used and inexpensive, typically half an hour to the centre outside peak periods.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Welcome Pickups. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on Auto Europe.

Romania's fixed and mobile broadband are exceptionally fast and cheap, so venue and hotel connections rarely disappoint. An eSIM is still the simplest way for non-EU visitors to get local data on arrival. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
Palace of the Parliament. The second-largest administrative building in the world can only be seen on a guided tour, booked ahead with identification required at the door. An hour covers a fraction of its marble halls, and the scale is the point. It sits at the head of a deliberately vast boulevard. Tickets on Tiqets →
Dimitrie Gusti Village Museum. Dozens of relocated wooden houses, churches and windmills from across Romania stand in parkland beside Herăstrău lake in the north of the city. It takes about two hours on foot and shows a rural architecture that has largely disappeared. The M2 metro reaches the entrance area.
Lipscani and the old town. The surviving pre-war commercial quarter holds the Manuc's Inn courtyard, the Stavropoleos church and a dense concentration of bars in restored buildings. It is compact enough to walk in an hour by day, and it is where the evening happens; prices remain low by western European standards.
Therme Bucharest. A vast thermal water complex under glass domes sits half an hour north of the city, with pools, saunas and palm planting. It is an unlikely but well-loved local escape from a grey November afternoon. Allow three hours plus travel; a shuttle bus runs from the city centre.
What currency is used?
The Romanian leu, not the euro. Cards are accepted almost everywhere including buses and small cafés, but a small amount of cash is useful at markets and for tipping.
What is the weather like in early November?
Highs around 10 to 13°C, cool nights near freezing, and a mix of bright days and grey drizzle. A warm jacket covers it; snow before December is unusual.
How should visitors get around?
The metro is fast and cheap and covers the main axes, while ride-hailing apps handle everything else at low fares. Driving in Bucharest traffic is not worth attempting for a short visit.
