Travel Answers

Hello,
I am planning a trip to Romania in july, and I encountered a few questions which I am having trouble finding answers to:
1. I plan to stay one night at cabana Omu and one night at cabana Curmatura during two hiking trips at Bucegi mountain and Piatra craiului, and I would like to know if I must bring with me a sleeping bag (I prefer to travel as light as possible, of course)?
2. I read that it is important to book my stay in this two cabanas during the summer, and I would like to know how can I do that besides via phone (I don't speak Romanian)?
3. This is a more general question – do you have a recommended route for 1-2 days at Piatra craiului that starts and ends at Zarnesti?
My current plan is to visit Zarnesti Gorges and hike only to Piatra mica via cabana curmatura on day one, before heading back to Zarnesti in the following morning.

Thank you,

Omer

Hi - I plan to fly in and out Bucharest airport. Wanted to know more about car rental and driving in Romania
- Any recommended rental company?
- Do we need GPS or road signs are easy to navigate?
- Is it easy to drive around (which side of the road is it?)
- Are there any specific driving rules to take note of?
- Is parking generally free or expensive?

The route I am considering:
Bucharest - Sinaia (Peles Castle) - Brasov (day trip to Rasnov and Bran) - Sighishoara - Bucharest
(i.e. after flying in around noon to head to Sinaia, then visit the sights / attractions, finally from Sigishoara drive back to Bucharest and spend 2 nights in Bucharest)
Please let me know is this a good route or suggest alternative. Thanks!

Any useful tips appreciated!

Are there any low cost airline in Romania? Please let me know the name?

For Bucharest-Budapest, is it recommended to fly or is there any express train service? Thanks.

We will be leaving our hotel in Central Bucharest to stay in one closer to the airpor tas we have an early flight next day. Is there a metro line which will take us close to Denisa Hotel (Drumul Garii Otopeni nr 62)? Thanks for help

Hi - I am just wondering if someone can share a possible 5-6 days itenary (fly in to Bucharest?) Thought of visiting Romania (first time visit) sometime in August. At this stage only doing very prelim research, would be helpful if someone can highlight places to visit and possible cities to cover, then I can look into it more and ask specific questions.

My area of interest more on sightseeing and taking photos (so I think beautiful scenery and castles are great), architecture etc... not so much on shopping.

Also would it be too farfetched to fly in to Bucharest, fly out from Budapest (so I get to see Budapest too) or just advisable to see more of Romania?

Thanks!
