20 Hours on the MUNTENIA Train: Budapest to Bucharest Review | Is it worth it?

In this long-distance rail review, we test the sleepers, the seating, and the endurance needed for a 20-hour trip. We’ll cross the border, see the Transylvanian landscapes, and check if the amenities on board are still functional in 2026.
