1. Go hiking: try serene trails in the Făgăraș Mountains or near Lake Bâlea for stunning views and wildlife sightings.
2. Indulge in food: discover Romanian culinary gems like sarmale and mamaliga during food festivals or in small eateries.
3. Visit salt mines: Slănic and Turda are perfect for exploring while enjoying the benefits of a natural salt microclimate.
4. Plan cultural trips: festivals like "George Enescu" or Târgul de Fete provide immersive cultural experiences.
5. Seek out hidden spots: Maramureș villages and Râșnov Fortress showcase authentic Romanian traditions and history.
When is the best season for Spanish tourists in Romania?
Spanish tourists will find May, June, September, and October the most enjoyable months to visit Romania. Spring offers lush greenery in the Carpathians for hiking, and autumn features the golden forests of Transylvania. It’s also the perfect time to enjoy seasonal festivals.
For beachgoers, summer is fine but comes with the trade-off of high temperatures and more tourists.
Is health insurance mandatory for Spanish visitors to Romania?
Health insurance is not a must for Spanish travelers visiting Romania, but having it is a smart decision. Unforeseen medical expenses can be costly, and insurance provides safety and reassurance. Browse the Visit World website for competitive insurance offers.
