When is the best time to come to Romania?

Due to its location, Romania can cater for tourists almost all year round. The last two months of the summer – July and August – are the warmest. Temperatures are high, especially in Dobrogea (the Black Sea Coast and the Danube Delta), but also in the urban areas (on the exterior side of the Carpathians – Bucharest, Craiova, Iasi). In mountainous and sub-mountainous areas (Maramures, Bucovina, Oltenia and intra-mountainous plateaus – such as those at the Oriental Carpathians or Transylvania Plateau), the climate favours tourism, except in those years with extremely high average temperatures. The coast can be seen, in general, from May/June, when the temperature of the air is the best, but the sea water is still cold. People can go on the coast also in September, especially during the first half. For treatments, the coastal resorts are open all year long.
It’s best to visit the Danube Delta from April to October, when many fishermen go fishing in the
Delta. There are many mosquitoes from June to September (especially in the evening). The above-mentioned sub-mountainous area is best visited from the second half of April to October (sometimes even November). The most special months are May (when the trees flourish, creating the feeling of a vegetable “boom”) and October (when for two weeks the leafs’ colour turn from green to yellow, red and purple-red. And this symphony of colours alternates with the green of the conifers. The snow and the low temperatures reign from November to February. The danger of avalanches means the beginning and the end of the winter season are to be avoided for mountain trips. In sub-mountainous areas, the trips are also difficult due to the snow and low temperatures. But people forget the cold weather in December, fascinated by the special customs and traditions (carols, feasts) of Christmas and New Year. The most attractive are in Maramures, Transylvania, Oltenia, Bucovina and Moldavia.
