The lowdown on flights to Bucharest

When to visit Bucharest

Bucharest is a city for all seasons. At the same time, there are a number of factors you should think about before you make your trip. The city’s many parks spring into colourful life in April and May, while early autumn is still warm enough to enjoy a stroll around the laidback boulevards or to have a coffee in one of the city’s many outdoor cafés. July and August, on the other hand, can be very humid and hot, and are also the most expensive months to fly here. Cheap tickets to Bucharest can be found from January to March, a good time to wrap up and enjoy the culture and history of this fascinating city.

Bucharest When to Go

Bucharest sits in the southwest corner of Romania and—like the rest of the country—has a temperate, continental climate, with hot summers and cold winters.

Temperatures peak from June through August, with averages ranging from the low 60s to low 80s. This also coincides with the high tourist season in continental Europe, though Romania is still fairly under the radar and sees far fewer tourists than most of its Western counterparts. June is the wettest month of the year and generally sees about 3 inches of rainfall.

The mercury starts to dip in September, with temperatures dropping to the low 50s to the mid 70s.

January is the coldest month, and temperatures are often around the freezing mark.
