Best time to visit Romania
The best time to travel to Romania depends on the region you intend to visit. This is because of its location and topography, which result in three different climatic zones. The east, the west and the south experience a variety of different temperatures.
Before deciding when to travel to Romania you should take into account the climatic characteristics of this European country. In the area west of the Carpathians the climate is quite moderate, with humid summers and mild winters.
In the eastern region of Romania, there is a continental climate, which results in considerable temperature differences between summer and winter. In this region, the winters are very cold and the summers are very hot.
The coastal region of the Black Sea, as well as that of southern Romania, enjoys Mediterranean influences. This translates into warm summers and relatively mild winters. In this area, the average temperature in winter is around 5°C. In spring the thermometer rises to 10°C, reaching 26°C in July and August.
However, we can say that the best time to travel to Romania is between May and September. April and October still have a good temperature, so these could also be good months to visit this country.
Best time to travel to northern Romania
The best time to visit Cluj-Napoca, the unofficial capital of Transylvania, and explore the Hoia Forest or Simion Barnutiu Central Park, is between May and September. At this time you will have a fairly pleasant climate, with an average of 25ºC, reaching 28ºC in the month of July.
In this region, there are two types of climate, oceanic and continental. This mixture of climates gives rise to significant variations in the average temperature. However, you will find the highest temperatures from the month of May, with an average of 22ºC, until the end of September with 24ºC.

Christmas in Romania
We’re all well-travelled and enjoyed the smaller group. The hotels were very nice and all but one was well located close to the old town areas and the Christmas Markets. Going to Transylvania with the snow and gorges were beautiful. We all enjoyed the painted monasteries.
