Honest answers to the questions travellers ask us most.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Can I just walk into the Palace of the Parliament?

No. It is visited on guided tours with fixed time slots, and you need your passport or an original ID card. Book ahead and plan to arrive 15 to 25 minutes early for security.

Can I see Peleș, Bran and Brașov in one day from Bucharest?

Yes, many tours do, but expect 10 to 14 hours. Brașov is roughly 165 km away, two and a half to three hours each way, so a lot of the day is spent on the road. If you want more time at each stop, pick a tour with fewer castles.

Is Bran Castle really Dracula’s castle?

Only in marketing. Bram Stoker’s novel never names it, and historians see just a thin link to Vlad the Impaler. It is still a striking castle, but go for the setting, not for a vampire story.

How far is Therme București from the centre?

It lies in Balotești, on the northern edge of the city, about 20 to 25 minutes by car outside rush hour. Many tickets include a return transfer; without one you need a taxi or your own car.

When is the best time to visit Bucharest?

Late spring and early autumn are the mildest. July and August can be very hot, and winters are cold and grey, with Christmas markets in December. Day trips into the mountains depend on the weather and the season.

Do I need a rental car in Bucharest?

Not for the city: the metro and ride-hailing apps cover it. Day trips to the Carpathians are easiest on a guided tour, because the road through the Prahova Valley is often jammed on Fridays and Sundays.
