Sustainable Travel in Romania

Romania, located in Eastern Europe, is a land of medieval castles - including Bran Castle, the inspiration for Dracula, rolling green hills, and the breathtaking Carpathian Mountains. Known for its rich folklore, historic Transylvania, and diverse wildlife, Romania offers a perfect blend of cultural heritage and outdoor adventure. This beautiful country doesn't (yet) draw the same tourism traffic as many Western European countries, rewarding travelers with a less-crowded and more off-the-beaten-path experience.

U.S. citizens with valid passports can visit Romania without a visa.

Best Time to Visit Romania

The best time to visit Romania for walking and cycling tours is from late spring to early autumn (May to October), when the weather is mild, and the countryside is in full bloom. Summers are warm, while autumn brings crisp air and stunning foliage, making it an ideal season for outdoor exploration. The walking season extends into the winter months with snowshoeing and ski-tour adventures.

How to Get to Romania

Reaching Romania is easy. There are several international airports, including Bucharest in the southern part of the country and Cluj-Napoca in the north. From there, regional trains or car transfers take travelers to their adventure's starting point.

Customize your Romania Trip

Our partner is happy to help modify one of our listed walking and cycling trips; a common tweak is to add nights at either the beginning or end of your journey in one of the main cities.
