Tips on memorable experiences
Romanian aristocrat Count Tibor Kalnoky from our supplier Transylvania Vacation Accommodation offers his Romania travel advice on some of the most memorable experiences during stays at one of his antique-filled traditional guesthouses: “Judging from the expressions I see on the faces of my guests that must be seeing a bear in the wild from rather close! I've experienced it hundreds of times now, and I still can't get enough... And then there are the wild flowers - especially the Lady Slipper Orchid, of which only one single specimen survives in the wild in Britain today. We have dozens. Or mixing with locals in the pub down the road that comes straight out of the 1950s. Another unique thing is our accommodation - the first heritage accommodation in Romania. It's like sleeping in a museum.”Seasonal travel tips
Tom Harari from our supplier Exodus shares his Romania travel advice, with diverse suggestions for every time of year: “The best experience is soaking up the atmosphere of the country itself. Horse-drawn carriages, alpine meadows where shepherds graze their sheep and make cheese, Saxon villages… it’s just like being in a fairy tale. Very few people realise that Romania rivals the Alps with high peaks, lakes, woodlands and pastures. Watching wild bears from hides is an experience that's hard to beat – spring is the best time. And in winter, the weather is normally crisp and clear with a coating of snow, a true Winter Wonderland. Plus there are Christmas markets and a chance to spend a night in the local ice hotel - pretty cool!”Health & safety in Romania

Romania tips from our travelers
We have selected some of the most useful Romania travel tips that our guests have provided over the years to help you make the very most of your vacation - and the space inside your suitcase.


"Be prepared to accept different standards of behaviour (e.g. smoking) than you might expect in Western Europe." - Martin Sutton
"Best date for the vacation is May/June, then the meadows are full of wild flowers." - Gerhard Loupal
"Hire a 4x4 to get around as there are so many places to go and see but the roads are the worst I've EVER experienced!" - Sophie Toth


"Bring your mosquito repellent if going in summer/autumn. Check your train ticket to ensure you were given ticket for the correct train time. Also worth getting 1st class ticket on the train." - Debbie Whelan
"For Transylvania, look into flights to Cluj or Timisoara rather than Bucharest - the train from there to Brasov is painfully slow." - Catherine Rowlands
"Get ready to leave behind television, and all kinds of electrical noise-pollution. Slow down, and relax - you will not get bored but refreshed without the usual non-stop bombardment of information. Open yourselves to nature and to meet new people." - Zsofia Van Assche Nagy
