Best time for visit Romania is autumn
In autumn, the days become shorter and the nights longer, the temperatures go down but the sun still warms the place in the middle of the day.
Nature and the villagers are all preparing for winter. Crops are harvested, the land is prepared for the next crop, and wild animals are gathering the last fruits of the season, seeds and other things which might be eaten during winter.
September is the first and best autumn month. The days are still warm and sunny. You can even plan to go for a few days on the beach! The first part of September is ideal for visiting the country and the seaside. The temperatures are still reasonable, the days with rain are pretty rare, the prices are reasonable, the crowd have left so it the best time to visit Romania in autumn.
Visit Transylvania when you visit Romania
I recommend you to visit Transylvania when you visit Romania. It is the most beautiful part of Romania. Here the time has stopped and the traditions are still alive.
In Transylvania, September is the month of harvesting and celebrating. People celebrate the crops and the year that has just ended.
And which is the best place to meet locals and eat local food than at these festivals?! Each village and town has its own festivals. I told you it is the best time to visit Romania in autumn!
Visit Romania during Autumn in Transylvania
Transylvania is a very fertile area, so there are many reasons to celebrate.
For me, the first part of September is the ideal time to go to the seaside, because the prices are low and the weather is still good, while the second part of September should be dedicated to a trip in Transylvania.
October is also a month full of festivals. There are many wine festivals all over the country. You know that Transylvania has many wineries, don’t you?! A stop to one of these wineries is a very unique way to spend your day!
In November the festivals are over and everybody is preparing for winter. The days are short and foggy, the wild animals prepare for the winter sleep. It is not the best time to visit Romania.
