Romania Tour Selection Trips
- Romania is a great all-seasons destination, since this Orthodox country celebrates the winter holidays traditionally; spring brings rains and blooms, summer is hot and sunny, and autumn will be a burst of color in the countryside.
- Speaking of Orthodox, Romania is a unique blend of cultural elements: a Latin-based language, a conservative and traditional Orthodox religion, and slavic elements passed down through decades under communism.
- Romanians, especially older Romanians, may still be wary of foreigners traveling, so don’t expect smiles and hugs while meeting. Younger Romanians, especially those born after the fall of communism, are much more friendly and welcoming by Western standards.
- Tipping is standard in Romania, but varies based on the situation. In restaurants 5-10% is a standard tip for your server; for a day tour, tip your driver or guide up to 20% based on the quality of the experience.
- It is possible to self-guide yourself through Romania by renting a car and driving. Be sure to pay close attention to road signs while navigating, as Romanian’s main roads are primarily two lanes and exits – especially those for some of the major sights – can be easily missed if you don’t know where you’re going.
- Romania is often overshadowed by other European nations, so the country remains and off-the-beaten-path destination. This means that tourist traps are rare, and prices aren’t inflated for tourists in the city.
- Americans, Canadians, Australians, New Zealand, and most European nations do not require a visa to visit Romania. The rules for acquiring a tourist visa may vary by citizenship. For trips that last more than 90 days in 180 day period, you will have to apply for a temporary residence pass. Vaccinations are not required to enter the country.
- If you visit Romania during the hot summer months, especially around the Danube Delta, be sure to bring mosquito repellent. There is no malaria in Romania, but those pesky mosquitoes are still annoying!
Additional details
What’s the Weather Like in Romania?
Romania has four distinct seasons, with freezing winters, and scorching summers. Mountainous areas and the northern part of Romania, such as Maramures and Bucovina tends to be colder, while the southern region (Bucharest, Black Sea Coast) can be incredibly torrid, especially in the summer.
When is the Best Time to Visit Romania?
Each season in Romania has its own unique charm — it all depends on what you want to experience during your time in Romania.
The climate from January to March is incredibly frigid — which makes it ideal for winter activities. There are several ski resorts in Romania. If you’re doing a tour of the medieval castles during this time, the temperature sets the mood. If the dreary cold gets you down, don’t fret! Warm yourself up with a piping hot bowl of soup.
In April, the spring blossoms bring new energy and color to the country — especially after all that snow! Meadows, gardens, and hills are colored with the flowers, perfectly complementing the Easter celebrations that happen throughout the region.
May in Romania is notorious for rain. Visitors may actively try to avoid this climate, but this time of the year is magical, as that’s when the birds start to stir at the Danube Delta.
June to August marks the most popular time for tourists to visit Romania. Be prepared for the sweltering hot weather — especially if you’re in the southern region. This is the best time to hike the Carpathian mountain range — the weather is much milder up there, and it’s the perfect way to escape the bustling cities!
If you’d prefer to escape the crowds, September to October is a great time to visit Romania. You’ll also get to witness autumn in full swing around September.
There is no “best time” to visit Romania — it all depends on what your curiosities are, and which parts of the country you want to discover! From skiing, to kayaking, to walking and hiking, each season offers a different aspect of what makes Romania so unique.
Currency & Costs in Romania
Though they are formally part of the European Union, Romania has yet to adopt the Euro as their currency, instead using the Romanian ‘lei’ (often signified as RON). The lei is a relatively stable currency, usually in the area of 4 lei for $1.
This makes Romania a cost-friendly European destination, as a meal can be anywhere from $5-$10, and beer and wine are often just $2-$4.
Prices are higher for tourist-heavy activities like visiting the castle and ‘traditional’ dinners in big cities, but on the whole you can stretch your budget a lot farther when traveling in Romania than in Western European countries like Switzerland.
Safety & Security in Romania
For the most part, Romania is a safe country. In smaller towns and villages, the biggest hurdle to feeling completely comfortable will be the language barrier, as many older Romanians may not have a strong grasp of English. In major cities or top tourist sights, expect English in abundance, as well as police presence.
Overall, transportation is safe, but make sure you check your meters if you’re traveling by taxi. Scams and rip offs are rare, but if you ever encounter a driver who refuses to use a meter, there are several other transportation options, such as the train, bus, or Uber in the cities.
Of course, as with visiting any foreign country, be careful with your valuables and watch your pockets. With the proper precautions, you should be good to go.
While Romania is welcoming for all kinds of travelers, those who love to immerse themselves in new cultures and history will greatly enjoy Romania. Romania has also become a top spot for music festivals in the summer months.
