mipango 9 kwa Romania, kuanzia 3 hadi 50 GB. Muda wa kutumika ni kuanzia siku 1 hadi siku 180. 9 kati ya hizo hufanya kazi kwenye 5G pale ambapo mtandao wa ndani unayo.
mipango 6 inaweza kuongezewa salio bila kusakinisha eSIM ya pili. Mipango inafanya kazi kwenye Vodafone, Orange.
Imehesabiwa kutoka kwenye orodha yetu ya moja kwa moja, sio nambari ya masoko — orodha ya mipango iliyo juu ya sehemu hii ina data sawa.
Romania: hakuna kifurushi cha kikanda kinachojumuisha nchi hii — hapa chaguo pekee ni mpango wa nchi moja, ambao mara nyingi ndio nafuu zaidi.
eSIM ya kusafiri ya Romania ni SIM ya kidijitali ambayo simu yako huipakua — hakuna kadi ya plastiki, hakuna kaunta ya kuichukulia kwenye uwanja wa ndege. Unanunua mtandaoni, unagusa kiungo cha kusakinisha tunachokutumia kwa barua pepe (msimbo wa QR nao upo humo humo), nayo huweka laini ya pili kando ya SIM yako uliyo nayo. Inabaki kimya hadi unapowasili Romania, kisha inajiunganisha yenyewe na Vodafone, Orange kwenye 5G inapopatikana na LTE kila mahali pengine. Namba yako ya nyumbani inaendelea kufanya kazi kwa simu na SMS; eSIM hubeba data yako pekee.
Ramani, ujumbe na programu za usafiri hutumia data kidogo — takriban MB 300–500 kwa siku. Ukiongeza picha, mitandao ya kijamii na video mara chache, unakaribia GB 1 kwa siku. Kwa safari ya wiki moja mpango wa GB 5 unatosha; kwa wiki mbili, kugawa intaneti, au matumizi mazito, chagua GB 10 au zaidi, au mpango unaoruhusu kuongeza salio ukiwa safarini. Mipango ya Romania inaanzia $4.99, ikiwa na saizi 7 tofauti, na bei kwa GB inaonyeshwa kwenye kila mmoja ili chaguo sahihi liwe dhahiri.
Hapana. eSIM ya kusafiri ya Romania ni mpango wa data wa ndani, si roaming ya kimataifa — unalipa bei unayoiona mapema, na hakuna bili ya kila megabaiti kutoka kwa mtoa huduma wako wa nyumbani. Weka eSIM kuwa laini yako ya data na uzime roaming ya data kwenye SIM yako ya nyumbani, kisha hutashtukizwa na chochote utakaporudi nyumbani. Pesa yote hurejeshwa wakati wowote kabla ya kuisakinisha, kwa hivyo kununua mapema hakuna hatari.
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.

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
Huduma za teksi kwa programu
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.
