Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Bucharest is during late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September) when temperatures are pleasant and rainfall is moderate. However, each season offers unique experiences:
Winter (December-February) brings cold temperatures and occasional snow. While daylight hours are limited, this is perfect for exploring Bucharest's numerous museums, including the Palace of Parliament, and enjoying Romanian winter traditions. The Christmas and New Year period is particularly festive with holiday markets and cultural events in the Old Town.
Spring (March-May) sees rapidly warming temperatures and blooming vegetation. This is an excellent time for outdoor activities, particularly in Cișmigiu Gardens and Herăstrău Park. The George Enescu Classical Music Festival in spring brings world-class performances to the Romanian Athenaeum.
Summer (June-August) offers hot temperatures and long daylight hours, perfect for exploring the city's outdoor attractions. While temperatures can be quite high, this is the best time for enjoying Bucharest's outdoor cafes, visiting the Village Museum, and participating in numerous cultural festivals. The B'ESTFEST Summer Camp is a major summer highlight.
Autumn (September-November) brings pleasant temperatures and beautiful fall colors. Early autumn is ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities without summer heat, while late autumn offers perfect conditions for exploring the city's vibrant cafe culture and art scene. The Romanian Design Week in autumn showcases the city's creative spirit.
