Romania has a temperate-continental climate with four seasons. The summers are generally warm, with temperatures ranging from 70 to 85 degrees, and the winters can be cold, with temperatures ranging from 15 to 40. Bucharest, Brasov, Sinaia, and Cluj-Napoca are popular tourist destinations in Romania.

During the peak tourist season (June-August), Bucharest has hot summers with average temperatures around 80, and cool winters with average temperatures around 30. Brasov has mild summers with average temperatures around 70 and cold winters with average temperatures around 20 degrees.

Sinaia has mild summers with average temperatures around 65 and cold winters with average temperatures around 20. Cluj-Napoca has warm summers with average temperatures around 70 and cold winters with average temperatures around 25.

Remember that these are average temperatures, and the weather can vary depending on the year and specific dates of your visit. Before traveling to Romania, it’s always a good idea to check the weather forecast.

Romania is a pretty safe country for travelers, but it’s always important to be cautious and aware of your surroundings. Here are some tips to help you stay safe:

  • Pay attention to what’s going on around you, and leave any place that makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
  • Stay in well-lit and busy areas, especially at night, and avoid dark or isolated places.
  • Keep your important belongings, like your passport and money, in a safe place, and don’t leave your things unattended.
  • Use licensed taxis if you need to take a taxi. You can find them at taxi stands, or ask your hotel to call one for you.
  • Watch out for scams, especially in tourist areas. Don’t give money or personal information to strangers.
  • Follow the laws and customs of Romania, and don’t do anything illegal, like using or buying drugs.
  • Learning some Romanian phrases can help you communicate better with locals and make your trip easier.

If you follow these tips, you should have a safe and fun trip to Romania.

From the Piatra Mare Mountains, to the Bucegi Mountains and more, Romania is lined by high peaks. These mountains are the ideal setting for skiing, snowboarding and even hiking. Whether the aim is to scale mountain or fly down them in the snow, Romania attracts travelers all year long.

While these extreme sports might seem exciting, they are also highly dangerous. Embarking on a hike beyond your physical capability or unprepared can lead to dehydration or worse. Snowboarding or skiing can lead to injury. Always know your physical capabilities. Do not try any sports or activities that you do not feel comfortable with. Always makes sure someone knows where you are and when you should be returning.

In addition to all travel documents and medications recommended by a Passport Health Travel Medicine Specialist, here are some items to consider packing:

  • Jacket – It will be cold in the winter and in early spring and late autumn. You can also experience a chill in the summer if you choose to hike near up the mountains. To ensure your comfort, pack warm sweaters and jackets. If it’s the warmer time of the year, at least bring one sweater.
  • Comfortable Shoes – There are many sightseeing and hiking opportunities in Romania. Packing a pair of shoes that you’re comfortable walking in will help keep your feet happy. Also consider a pair of hiking boots if you plan to specifically go hiking.
  • Umbrella – Travel bloggers insist on bringing an umbrella to Romania as well. Some areas in the country can be quite rainy, and there is also the possibility of sudden downpours. Having an umbrella will keep you dry and keep the rain from dampening any of your plans.

All Americans visiting Romania should register with the U.S. Embassy in Bucharest. Registering will inform the office of your travel plans and will allow them to reach out in the case of an emergency or evacuation. You can register online, through the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP).
