Ρουμανία: 9 προγράμματα, από 3 έως 50 GB. Η ισχύς πάει από 1 μέρα έως 180 μέρες. 9 από αυτά πιάνουν 5G όπου το δίνει το τοπικό δίκτυο.
6 προγράμματα ανανεώνονται χωρίς να χρειαστεί δεύτερη eSIM. Τα προγράμματα δουλεύουν στο δίκτυο Vodafone, Orange.
Βγαλμένα από τον ζωντανό μας κατάλογο, όχι νούμερα μάρκετινγκ — η λίστα προγραμμάτων πιο πάνω τραβάει τα ίδια ακριβώς δεδομένα.
Ρουμανία: δεν το πιάνει κανένα περιφερειακό πακέτο — εδώ πας με πακέτο μίας χώρας, που έτσι κι αλλιώς βγαίνει συνήθως φθηνότερο.
Μια eSIM ταξιδιού Ρουμανία είναι μια ψηφιακή SIM που κατεβάζει το ίδιο το κινητό σου — χωρίς πλαστική κάρτα, χωρίς ουρά σε γκισέ στο αεροδρόμιο. Αγοράζεις online, πατάς τον σύνδεσμο εγκατάστασης που σου στέλνουμε στο email (μαζί υπάρχει και κωδικός QR), και μπαίνει μια δεύτερη γραμμή δίπλα στην SIM που ήδη έχεις. Μένει κοιμισμένη μέχρι να φτάσεις και μετά πιάνει μόνη της τα Vodafone, Orange μέσω 5G όπου υπάρχει και LTE παντού αλλού. Ο αριθμός σου εδώ συνεχίζει να δέχεται κλήσεις και μηνύματα· η eSIM κουβαλάει μόνο τα δεδομένα σου.
Χάρτες, μηνύματα και εφαρμογές για ταξί τρώνε ελάχιστα — κάπου 300–500 MB τη μέρα. Βάλε και φωτογραφίες, σκρολάρισμα στα σόσιαλ και κανένα βιντεάκι, και πλησιάζεις το 1 GB τη μέρα. Για μια βδομάδα, τα 5 GB σε βγάζουν άνετα· για δεκαπενθήμερο, hotspot ή βαριά χρήση, πήγαινε 10 GB και πάνω, ή διάλεξε ένα πρόγραμμα που ανανεώνεται εν κινήσει. Τα προγράμματα ταξιδιού Ρουμανία ξεκινούν από 4,80 € σε 7 μεγέθη, και το καθένα δείχνει την τιμή του ανά GB για να φαίνεται αμέσως η σωστή επιλογή.
Όχι. Μέσα στην ΕΕ η περιαγωγή σου είναι ούτως ή άλλως δωρεάν με το ελληνικό σου πακέτο· εκτός ΕΕ όμως ο πάροχός σου χρεώνει με το megabyte. Μια eSIM ταξιδιού Ρουμανία είναι τοπικό πρόγραμμα δεδομένων, όχι διεθνής περιαγωγή — πληρώνεις από πριν την τιμή που βλέπεις και τελείωσε. Όρισε την eSIM ως γραμμή δεδομένων και κλείσε την περιαγωγή δεδομένων στην κανονική σου SIM, ώστε να μη βρεις έκπληξη στον λογαριασμό όταν γυρίσεις. Και μέχρι να την εγκαταστήσεις, παίρνεις πίσω όλα σου τα χρήματα — οπότε δεν ρισκάρεις τίποτα αγοράζοντας από νωρίς.
Sarmale
Minced pork and rice rolled in soured cabbage or vine leaves and simmered for hours, served with mămăligă and sour cream. The dish every family cooks at Christmas and Easter.
Any restaurant billing itself as a crama or han; better still at a guesthouse in Maramureș or Bucovina.
Mămăligă
Cornmeal polenta, eaten as a side with almost everything or as a dish in its own right with sheep's cheese, sour cream and a fried egg.
Mountain guesthouses and traditional restaurants nationwide.
Mici
Skinless grilled rolls of minced beef, lamb and pork with garlic and bicarbonate, which gives them their springy texture. Ordered by the piece with mustard and bread.
Street grills, beer gardens and any summer festival. Bucharest's Obor market is the classic address.
Ciorbă de burtă
Sour tripe soup, thickened with egg and cream and soured with borș, a liquid fermented from wheat bran. Sharp, garlicky and a well-known hangover cure.
Traditional restaurants and workers' canteens everywhere.
Ciorbă de perișoare
The same sour broth with pork meatballs and vegetables. The easier introduction to Romanian sour soups if tripe is a step too far.
Nationwide; a standard lunch first course.
Papanași
Fried rings of sweetened curd cheese dough topped with sour cream and sour cherry jam, with a small dough ball perched on top. Usually large enough to share.
Almost every restaurant menu; the dessert Romanians recommend to visitors first.
Zacuscă
A spread of roasted aubergine and red pepper cooked down with onion and tomato, jarred in autumn in enormous quantities and eaten on bread all winter.
Markets and rural guesthouses. Homemade is a different thing from the supermarket version.
Cozonac
A sweet enriched yeast loaf rolled with ground walnuts, cocoa or Turkish delight, baked for Easter and Christmas and increasingly sold year-round.
Bakeries; the good ones are dense with filling rather than mostly bread.
Pastramă de oaie
Mutton cured with garlic and thyme then smoked or grilled. An autumn dish, traditionally eaten with must, the cloudy new grape juice of the season.
Autumn markets and traditional restaurants, particularly in Transylvania and Dobrogea.
Țuică and pălincă
Plum spirit. Țuică is the milder single-distilled version; pălincă from Transylvania and Maramureș is distilled twice and considerably stronger. Offered on arrival, not after dinner.
Rural guesthouses, where the homemade version is the point.
Palace of the ParliamentBucharest
Ceaușescu's monumental government building, among the largest and heaviest administrative buildings anywhere. Entry is by guided tour only and you must bring the passport or ID you booked with.

Brașov old town and the Black ChurchBrașov
A Saxon town square ringed by merchant houses beneath Tâmpa hill, with a Gothic hall church that took its name from a seventeenth-century fire and holds a large collection of Anatolian carpets.
a day
Bran CastleBran
Sold as Dracula's castle, though the connection to Vlad III is thin. The building itself and its later use by Queen Marie are the real interest, and it is busiest in the middle of the day.
half a day
Peleș CastleSinaia
The late nineteenth-century summer residence of Romania's first king, in a Neo-Renaissance style with heavily carved interiors. Queues form in summer and there is a separate charge to photograph inside.
half a day
Sighișoara citadelSighișoara
A medieval Saxon citadel that is still lived in rather than preserved as a museum, with a clock tower, guild towers and a covered stair up to the hilltop church.
a day
Painted monasteries of BucovinaSuceava county
Sixteenth-century monasteries with biblical scenes frescoed across their exterior walls. Voroneț, Sucevița, Moldovița and Humor are the usual circuit and are spread across a wide area.
two days
TransfăgărășanFăgăraș mountains
A high mountain road built across the Făgăraș range, climbing to Bâlea Lake. The upper section is closed by snow for most of the year and typically opens only for the summer months.
a day
Merry CemeterySăpânța, Maramureș
Carved and painted blue grave markers, each with a verse epitaph about the person buried beneath, frequently blunt and often funny. Nothing else in the country looks like it.
2 hours
Danube DeltaTulcea
Europe's largest remaining river delta, a maze of reed channels and lakes reached by boat from Tulcea. Serious birdlife, and villages like Sfântu Gheorghe with no road access.
two days · κλείσ' το από πριν
Turda Salt MineTurda
A worked-out salt mine fitted out with a Ferris wheel, a boating lake and an amphitheatre far below ground. Cold year-round, so bring a layer even in August.
half a day
Train
CFR Călători runs an extensive but slow network. InterRegio services are the faster ones and worth the small supplement; Regio trains stop everywhere. Bucharest to Brașov is the scenic route most visitors take.
low
Intercity minibus and coach
Private operators run from the autogară in each town, often faster than the train on routes like Bucharest to Constanța. Timetables are best checked on the aggregator sites rather than at the station.
low
Bucharest metro
Metrorex runs several lines under the city and accepts contactless bank cards at the gates as well as its own card. Surface trams and buses are run separately by STB with their own ticketing.
very low
Car hire
The only realistic way to reach Maramureș, the Bucovina monasteries and the Transfăgărășan. A rovinietă road vignette is required on national roads and is bought online or at petrol stations. Rural road quality varies sharply.
moderate, plus the vignette
Ride-hailing and taxi
Bolt and Uber both operate in the larger cities and are the simplest option. Street taxis must display their per-kilometre rate on the door; check it before getting in, particularly around stations and airports.
low
Ταξί μέσω εφαρμογής
Bolt, Uber
Both work well in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara, Brașov and Iași. Coverage thins in smaller towns, where you fall back on taxi ranks or having a guesthouse call one.
