Practical Romania travel tips

Open any section for a quick planning tip.

When to visit

Late spring and early autumn are good times for sightseeing and road trips. Summer is warmer and busier. Mountain roads may be closed outside the warmer months because of snow.

Getting around

Trains and buses connect the main cities. Hiring a car gives you more freedom to visit mountain roads, villages and places outside the main towns.

Driving in Romania

Traffic drives on the right. Some rural and mountain roads can be slow, so allow extra time. Check current road conditions before driving the Transfăgărășan.

Money and language

Romania uses the Romanian leu. Cards are widely accepted in cities, but some cash is useful in villages and small shops. Romanian is the main language, though English is common in visitor areas.
