Extreme day trips to Therme București from the UK

Over the last few months, we have been sharing lots of Extreme Day Trips on our Facebook page, and Therme Spa Bucharest has undoubtedly been the most popular.

It's perfect for a one-day spa escape with it's tropical temps, slides for kids and a grown-up Palm to relax in.

Below I’ve put together everything you need for March same-day trip from the UK. A list of all available extreme day trip flights from the UK, plus practical tips, transfers and what to pack.

Quick heads up — Bucharest (not Budapest!)

Bucharest is Romania’s capital (south-eastern Romania). Don’t mix it up with Budapest (Hungary) - they’re several hundred kilometres apart.

Why Book a Therme + Transfer package?

GetYourGuide sells Therme entrance + transfer options (round trips from central pickup points).

Many of these listings offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before and reserve now & pay later options - handy for last-minute day-trip planning.

These transfer packages usually pick up from central Bucharest spots and drop you directly at Therme. Some will also drop you off at the airport after the spa.

Tickets with transfers in December are typically £46pp.

Can you take children to Therme Spa Bucharest?

Absolutely, however, please note children under 14 can only access the Galaxy water park area and not the saunas and spa

What's Inside Therme Spa?

Therme is split into three main areas:

Galaxy (family / waterpark) — wave pool, many slides (16–17), splash areas and family lounges. This is the only zone that allows children under 14. Good if you’re taking kids.

The Palm (14+) — the famous large tropical mineral pools, indoor botanical garden, outdoor terraces and pool bars. Great for relaxing in a palm-lined atrium. (Access usually limited to 14+).

Elysium (14+) — wellness/sauna complex, themed dry saunas, rituals and higher-end spa treatments for quieter relaxation. Some Elysium packages specify minimum age 14+. (there is an extra cost for this area, you can upgrade once there.

What to pack for an Extreme Day Trip to Therme Spa

Carry a small backpack only (you’ll want to move fast between airport → Therme → airport):

Valid passport + flight docs/boarding passes on your phone. Remember to bring your charger with European adapter and also a spare power bank.

Swimwear (required), clean flip-flops/sandals for inside. Therme checks this. If you forget, towels/flip-flops/robes are rentable but cost extra.

Quick-dry towel / bathrobe (or be prepared to rent).

Waterproof phone pouch and a small plastic bag for wet swimwear.

Goggles, swim nappies (if needed) - the shop on site sell basics.

Thin change of clothes for the flight home (you can get chilly leaving wet swimwear).

Ear plugs, hair tie, travel toothbrush, any medications

Cash/card (cafés & pool bars onsite; contactless widely accepted).

Practical note: saunas request you sit on a towel; some areas enforce no flip-flops inside saunas. Read the on-site rules when you arrive for the most up-to-date advice.

Getting from Otopeni (OTP) airport → city centre → Therme

Options and typical costs:

Train (Airport → Gara de Nord): fastest public option, 20–25 min; tickets around 5–7 RON (€1–£1.50). Trains run regularly and are convenient if you want to connect to a city-centre pickup for a Therme transfer.

Express buses (783 / 780): connect airport with central stops (Piata Unirii / Piata Victoriei / Gara de Nord). Tickets are very cheap (a few RON); journey 30–50 min depending on traffic. Good budget option.

Taxi / rideshare (Uber, Bolt): door-to-door and fastest and easiest option, especially with luggage - expect to pay around 55–75 RON (£10–15) to central Bucharest depending on traffic and exact destination. Use official airport taxi desks or book via the Bolt or Uber app.

If you buy a GetYourGuide transfer with your ticket, it will usually pick you up in central locations (or your hotel) and take you directly to Therme - great when you’re on a tight schedule.

Pack swimwear, flip-flops, towel/robe (or budget for rental).

Allow time: flight → 30–60 min transfer → 4+ hours Therme → transfer → 2–3 hours before outbound flight at airport.
