Travel Tips

Currency: RON Time Zone: Eastern European Time (UTC +2) Language: Romanian

Hello! Sure, I'd be happy to share travel tips for your trip to Brasov, Sibiu, and Bucharest in Romania!

Best Time to Visit:
The best time to visit Brasov, Sibiu, and Bucharest in Romania varies based on what you want to see and do. For pleasant weather and outdoor activities, the ideal time is late spring (May & June) or early autumn (September). The summer months of July and August can also be great for a visit, but they are generally more crowded with tourists.

Route and Accessibility:
International flights fly into Bucharest's Henri Coandă International Airport. From there, you can take a train to Brasov (approx 2.5 hours) and Sibiu (approx 5.5 hours). Buses are another option for internal travel but could take longer. Rental cars are also widely available if you prefer to drive.

Accommodation and Booking:
All three cities have a range of accommodations to suit different budgets - from luxury hotels to budget hostels. It's recommended to book your accommodation in advance, especially during peak tourist season. Online platforms like Booking.com, Airbnb, and Agoda can offer a variety of options.

Clothing and Essentials:
Pack clothing to suit the season. Romania's summers can be hot, so bring lightweight and breathable clothes. But in mountainous regions such as Brasov, evenings can be cooler even in summer. For the colder months or high-altitude areas, warm clothing, including a jacket, gloves, and a hat are necessary. Don't forget comfortable walking shoes for city tours, and essential travel items like adapter plugs, travel insurance documents, and any personal medication.

Health and Safety:
While Romania is generally safe, it's important to consider common-sense safety precautions. Keep an eye on personal belongings in crowded places, use authorized taxi services, and drink bottled or boiled water. Having a valid travel insurance that covers medical emergencies is recommended.

Local Etiquette and Respect:
Romanian people are known for their hospitality. When entering churches, respectful attire is required – no sleeveless shirts, short pants or skirts. Tipping is customary in restaurants and for services. A basic understanding of Romanian phrases can go a long way, although English is widely spoken in urban areas.
