They mean the same thing often - strange and unusual. However, bizarre is usually used when something is extremely strange - so strange that you start to be nervous or afraid.
A person coming to your informal party in a suit and tie would be a little weird.
If that person came dressed in a suit made of paper, it would be bizarre.

They are like the same but bizarre seems stronger
Like -
You might say "that's weird" if your friend is being silly
Weird can also be an insult
Bizarre means crazy more than weird
Like you might say "what a bizarre idea" if your friend said something crazy :)

bizarre is synonyms of weird. But bizarre is markedly unusual in appearance or style. And weird is unearthly or uncanny.
