The most recommended month is "May"

May is the best time to travel to Romania. Spring weather spreads throughout the country, and you will be surrounded by beautiful scenery with flowers in full bloom. The temperature is comfortable at around 20 degrees, and the humidity is low, making it the perfect climate for outdoor sightseeing and nature walks. In Brasov and Sighisoara, where medieval townscapes remain, the contrast between historical buildings and fresh greenery creates a spectacular view. In addition, it is the beginning of the season for mountain climbing and trekking around the Carpathian Mountains, so it is also recommended for active travelers. In addition, there are fewer people than in the summer, which is the high season for tourism, so you can enjoy traveling at a leisurely pace. Airfare and accommodation costs are relatively reasonable before the peak, and it is also excellent cost performance. Events are gradually starting to increase, and there are plenty of opportunities to experience traditional music and dance. It can be said that this is the best month to visit, with the perfect combination of nature, culture, and climate.

The least recommended month is "January"

January is one of the least suitable months for traveling in Romania. In addition to the severe cold, there is a lot of snow during this time, and the snow tends to be deep, especially in the northern and mountainous regions, which can easily affect road conditions and transportation. Many tourist destinations are in the off-season, and outdoor tourist attractions and natural scenic spots are often closed. The daylight hours are short, and the hours during which you can visit are limited, making it difficult to plan your trip. In addition, facilities in rural villages and rural areas are often closed, and they may not be prepared to accept tourists. Of course, there are some parts that you can enjoy if you are visiting ski resorts or hot springs, but if you are visiting for other purposes, the weather and accessibility hurdles are likely to be high. If you want a comfortable and fulfilling trip, January is the time to avoid.
