The climate in Romania varies by season. The country experiences all four seasons, including winter. The winters in Romania can be bitter cold and filled with snow, whilst the summer often burn hot. Rainfall is moderate throughout the country. Temperatures are consistent throughout the country, but vary based on location. Here is what to expect in a few tourist destinations:

  • Bucharest – Summers in the capital city can see temperatures in the high 20’s in July. January has lows in the -10’s. Snow is common in the winter. But, precipitation is low throughout the year. Bucharest sees 530 millimeters of precipitation yearly.
  • Brașov – The region of Brașov sees much colder temperatures than other parts of Romania. Highs in the summer only reach about 5 degrees Celsius, and lows in the winter can plummet down to -20.

Crime is not uncommon in Romania. The most common incidents include pick-pocketing, robbery, scams and credit card fraud. organised crime is present in the country. Be watchful at train stations and in tubes.

Always travel with a companion, especially overnight. Do not leave private belongings unattended or out in the open. Use ATMs inside banks, be wary in internet cafes and try to use cash instead of credit cards.

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 travellers 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 jumpers and jackets. If it’s the warmer time of the year, at least bring one jumper.
  • 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.

If you are in Romania and have an emergency (for example, been attacked, arrested or someone has died) contact the nearest consular services. Contact the embassy before arrival if you have additional questions on entry requirements, safety concerns or are in need of assistance.
