Your guide to visiting Romania
Best Time to Visit Romania
Romania’s seasons offer distinct experiences, from snowy winters to sunny summers. Escorted tours are most popular in spring and autumn, when the weather is mild and the landscapes are at their most photogenic.
Spring (April – June)
Spring breathes new life into Romania’s countryside. Hillsides burst into bloom, and cities like Sibiu and Brașov come alive with festivals and open-air cafés. It’s a wonderful time for cultural sightseeing, gentle hikes, and photography, with mild temperatures and fewer tourists.
Summer (July – August)
Summer is vibrant and full of energy. The Carpathian Mountains offer cool escapes for hikers and nature lovers, while the Black Sea coast buzzes with beachgoers and music festivals. Expect warm days, lively towns, and long evenings perfect for al fresco dining.
Autumn (September – October)
Autumn is arguably Romania’s most picturesque season. Forests blaze with colour, vineyards begin their harvest, and traditional festivals celebrate the changing season. It’s ideal for scenic drives, wine tasting, and exploring rural traditions in a peaceful setting.
Food & Drink in Romania
Romanian cuisine is a celebration of comfort, tradition, and regional diversity. Influenced by Balkan, Ottoman, Hungarian, and Slavic flavours, it’s rich, satisfying, and full of character—perfect for travellers who love discovering culture through food.
Must-Try Dishes:
Sarmale – Romania’s beloved cabbage rolls, filled with spiced pork and rice, slow-cooked in tomato sauce and served with creamy polenta. A festive favourite and a staple at family gatherings.
Ciorbă de burtă – A tangy tripe soup with vinegar, garlic, and sour cream. Surprisingly addictive, it’s a Romanian classic that warms you from the inside out.
Mămăligă – Creamy cornmeal porridge, often served with salty cheese, sour cream, or alongside stews. Think of it as Romania’s answer to polenta—simple, rustic, and delicious.
Mititei (Mici) – Juicy, spiced meat rolls grilled to perfection and served with mustard and bread. A street food favourite, especially during summer barbecues.
Papanasi – Fried or boiled doughnuts filled with sweet cheese, topped with sour cream and fruit preserves. A decadent dessert that’s both comforting and indulgent.
To drink, try țuică, a traditional plum brandy often served as a welcome gesture, or sample Romania’s excellent local wines, including Fetească Neagră and Tămâioasă Românească.
