Which airports fly to Romania?

Most important airports in Romania are Bucharest, Cluj Napoca, Timisoara, Sibiu, Iasi. Low cost carriers such as Wizzair, Blue Air, Ryanair, Air Berlin land on airports such as Bacau, Craiova, Sibiu or any other airport in Romania. Budapest Airport is 225 km away from the Romanian border (on highway), where from you may start your journey in Transylvania, Maramures or Bucovina.

For people with special needs we recommend landing on Bucharest airport. Dislocation costs for the accessible car from Bucharest will increase the trip costs, but you will have the opportunity to see Accessible Romania. Nevertheless,  there are accessible places in Bucharest where you can enjoy your stay.

Will I need to learn Romanian?

You do not need to speak Romanian language. Tourist assistance will accompany you in your tours. In case you chose individual tours, in touristic cities (Bucharest, Brasov, Sighisoara, Sibiu, etc.) there are many people speaking English language. The only problem is on the countryside, but we can provide you with local SIM telephone number and give you remote assistance.

Anyway, Romanians appreciate when you speak to them in Romanian language! “Multumesc” (thank you) and “Buna ziua” (hello) will be enough to impress locals.

Will people speak English?

There are many people speaking English language, city hotels  and restaurant always have English speaking staff. Also, in the cities many locals speak English language so don’t be afraid to ask someone for direction, there will be a person to answer you in understandable English Language. Besides, most of Romanians are friendly and they will even try to draw you the directions if they are not able to speak.
