When to Avoid Visiting Romania?

Months to Avoid Reason
December to February (Winter Season
  • Winter seasons in Romania witness very little tourism owing to its bitter cold climate. The days are usually cloudy, with frequent snowfalls throughout the day. The streets of Bucharest, which are flooded with tourists in other seasons, are empty in winter. Incessant snowfalls, dry weather, and extremely low temperatures make the winter months a bad time to visit Romania.
  • With ranging snowfall, driving gets difficult, and you must mostly stay indoors. Romania also witnesses frequent snowstorms in the winter months. If you wish to experience Romania's full-fledged beauty, it would be better to travel to Romania in autumn or spring.
  • However, skiing and snow sports enthusiasts can visit Romania in winter to witness great skiing adventures on thick snow slopes.
