  • S

    Shirley

    Asked on July 19th, 2024

    What month would you recommend for warm weather - not the extremes of winter or summer? What airlines provide the quickest travel time from Melbourne to Bucharest? What would a common travel time be? Can we arrange to stay a night or 2 in the same room in the same hotel as the tour will stay at in Bucharest?

    Tour Details
    • Back-Roads TouringOperator•Written July 2024

      May through to September is a great time to travel to Romania as the weather tends to be warm but comfortable. Having a quick look online, it seems that Qatar has the shortest flight time from Melbourne to Bucharest, but travel time on average will be around 24 hours. Yes! Once you have a booking with us, we can check pricing and availability for any pre or post accommodation you may need.
