Cost words compare a published regional accommodation level with Romania's typical level, or describe a region's price season against its own year. The Cost score still uses Romania's price level on the Europe scale; where regional money levels are unavailable, a cheaper season does not establish which region has the cheapest rooms.

What goes into the scores?

Overall combines weather, crowds and cost. It is not a weather rating. By default, the list ranks weather first and shows Balanced Overall scores (50% weather, 30% crowds, 20% cost). Other priorities order it by your Overall mix. Missing cost is excluded and the available parts are reweighted.

Visitor season compares each region with its own year. A higher crowd score does not establish which place has fewer people in absolute terms. Regions cover whole statistical areas; open a guide for its geographic scope. Read the scoring method.

Weather across the country

September weather & packing.

Regional averages vary; check a forecast closer to your trip.

Typical afternoons: 72–79°F
Typical nights: 51–57°F
Rain days: 3–6 days

Ranges span available regional monthly averages, not daily extremes. A dash means a measurement is unavailable or withheld; individual guides explain the gaps.

What to bring.

Afternoons around 79°F (26°C): T-shirt weather; nights around 57°F (14°C): a sweater and a light jacket.

The visitor season

Moderate season, nationally.

September records 52% of August's overnight stays. This measures overnight demand, not queues or day-trippers.

Hotel prices

About usual.

+3% on Romania's historical national hotel-price index, versus its usual month in 2024–2025. This describes a price season, not a live room quote.

The national index cannot tell you which region has the cheapest rooms.

Same country. A different chapter.

How we know Sources, scope & limitations

Each row is a statistical region (NUTS 2); open it for the full month, the sources and what moving your dates would change. National lines are built from the regions: season is Romania's total tourist nights this month against its busiest month (Eurostat, primarily 2024–2025; earlier published years where needed); weather counts regions whose displayed Weather score is at least 7.0/10 (very good or better) rather than averaging across the country; visitors ranks overnight visitors per resident against all Europe's regions (for a region) or the other countries (for Romania) that month.

A regional accommodation level is shown only where publishable money data exists; elsewhere the cost words describe a regional season against its own year, and the score starts from the national price level. Separately, Romania's 2024 restaurants-and-hotels level is well below EU average (68 where the EU average is 100). Full method.
