Gara de Nord, meaning "North railway station," in English, is the largest railway station in Romania and has served hundreds of trains, including domestic and international trains. The vast majority of mainline trains to and from Bucharest originate from Gara de Nord. The station is served by several bus lines, as well as the Gara de Nord metro station. Due to the building of the station, visitors cannot switch lines to the metro station without leaving the terminal station.
