Romania travel rules for Germans
No visa is necessary for Germans to visit Romania for tourism, business engagements, or private travel. Be sure to carry:
- A valid passport (minimum 3 months beyond departure).
- Proof of travel purpose (like a hotel reservation).
- Evidence of funds (€50/day) and a return ticket.
- Double-check if extra documents apply before your trip.
Insider tips for Germans traveling to Romania
1. Try offbeat hiking trails. Explore the Făgăraș Mountains or Lake Bâlea for stunning landscapes and quiet paths.
2. Enjoy authentic food. Romanian specialties like sarmale and mamaliga can be found in local taverns or food festivals.
3. Discover cultural events. The "George Enescu" Festival and Târgul de Fete showcase Romania’s rich traditions.
4. Explore salt mines. Visit Turda or Slănic salt mines for unique experiences and health benefits.
5. Visit lesser-known destinations. Râșnov Fortress and Maramureș villages highlight the beauty of Romanian culture.
Best months for German visitors in Romania
If you’re a German citizen, plan your Romanian adventure for May, June, September, or October. In spring, the Carpathians bloom with vibrant colors, making it ideal for hikes. Autumn offers golden forests in Transylvania and local harvest festivals.
For a beach getaway, summer works but comes with higher temperatures and more crowded resorts.
If you do not use the right of visa-free entry to Romania, you need to obtain an airport transit visa or a transit visa (type B).
Airport transit visa (type A) allows entry to the international zone of airports and stay at the airport before boarding the plane.
To import pets into Romania, all animals must have:
Microchip for pets. Your pet must be chipped with a 15-digit unencrypted microchip that complies with the ISO 11784/11785 standard.
Vaccinations. Your dog or cat must have a valid rabies vaccination after chipping.
Health certificate. A licensed veterinarian must complete an EU medical certificate for Romania 10 days prior to travel. If your pet is traveling from the United States, the veterinarian must be accredited by the USDA and the health certificate must be certified by the state Department of Agriculture office. If you and the pet are traveling to Romania from another country, the forms must be certified by the government authority responsible for the import and export of animals.

In Romania, a foreign license is not enough for you to drive in the country. In addition to your local driver's license, you must have an international driver's license in Romania.
This rule does not apply to individuals driving in Romania with a British license. A UK license is already enough to allow you to drive in the country.
If you are a minor, you will not be able to drive in Romania.
