Optional plans

Background / read during travel

This is the day where the itinerary stops trying to be interesting and starts trying to be reliable. That is exactly what the final preflight day should do.

Restaurants & nearby grocery

Family rhythm note

Treat this as a finish-line day, not a bonus Bucharest sightseeing day. Everyone will feel the trip more than the schedule does.

Low-energy fallback

If the rail timing shifts, keep the night brutally simple: hotel check-in, dinner, sleep. That is still a win.
