Find Cheap Flights to Romania and Book Your Next Trip Easily

Peruvian citizens need a Schengen visa to enter Romania, as the country is part of the Schengen area. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months after your planned departure date. In addition to the visa, it is wise to carry proof of sufficient funds for your stay, return air tickets, and travel insurance. Always check the latest visa requirements with the Romanian consulate before booking your cheap flights to Romania to avoid problems upon arrival. Planning these documents should be your first step after finding your economic plane tickets to Romania.

Transportation in Romania is varied. In large cities like Bucharest, the subway and buses are efficient and very economical. For traveling between cities, the train is a popular option, although it can be slow. InterRegio trains are faster than Regio trains. Consider renting a car if you plan to explore remote castles or the rural areas of Transylvania, as the main roads are in good condition. Taxis and ride-sharing services are common in cities, but always confirm the price or ensure the meter is on. Plan your transfers from the airport when booking your economic flights to Bucharest.

The official currency is the Romanian Leu (RON). Although Romania is in the EU, it does not use the Euro. The use of credit and debit cards is common in cities, hotels, and restaurants. However, you will need cash for markets, small taxis, and rural areas. ATMs are available everywhere. Romania is generally more affordable than many Western European countries. To save money, eat at 'cantinas' or farmers' markets. Look for flight deals to Romania from Peru and book in advance to reduce the total cost of your trip. A moderate daily budget can be enough to enjoy the culture and gastronomy.

Romanians are known for their hospitality. A common greeting is a firm handshake. In social settings, it is customary to bring a small gift if invited to a home. Tipping is expected in restaurants (around 10%) and it is common to tip taxi drivers. When visiting churches and monasteries, dress respectfully, covering shoulders and knees. The official language is Romanian, but English is spoken by many young people and in tourist areas. Learning a few basic Romanian phrases will be much appreciated by locals. Respect traditions, especially in the rural areas of Transylvania.

Romania is a safe country for tourists, but as anywhere, you should be vigilant. Pickpockets are a problem in crowded tourist areas and on public transport in Bucharest. Keep your valuables secure and use cross-body bags. Be careful with unofficial taxis at airports or train stations; insist on using ride-sharing services or licensed taxis with a meter. Never accept help from strangers at ATMs. If traveling by car, do not leave valuables in plain sight. Being aware of your surroundings will help you have a peaceful and safe visit.

For an authentic experience, go beyond the castles of Transylvania. Visit the Maramures region to see the wooden churches and traditional rural life. Try homemade food in 'pensiuni' (guesthouses) instead of just tourist restaurants. Stroll through local markets to sample regional cheeses and cured meats. In Bucharest, explore the Lipscani neighborhood, but also venture into lesser-known areas like Cotroceni. The best way to get to know the culture is by interacting with Romanians; they are friendly and love to share their history. Look for cheap air tickets to Cluj-Napoca to start your adventure in Transylvania.

Romania has four well-defined seasons. Summers are hot, especially in the south, and winters are very cold with a lot of snow. Pack appropriate clothing for the season. If traveling in spring or autumn, wear layers, as the weather can change quickly. No special vaccination is required, but it is always recommended to have basic vaccinations up to date. Tap water is generally safe in cities, but if in doubt, use bottled water. A small first-aid kit and European plug adapters (Type C/F) are essential for your trip.
