Romania eSIM Guide: Transfăgărășan, Transylvania & Travel Tips
This Romania eSIM connects to Vodafone’s 4G and Orange’s 5G networks for use across the country. Three things are worth sorting out before you go: the Transfăgărășan Highway is only open for a few summer months, visits to the Palace of Parliament and Peleș Castle need advance booking, and drivers must buy a digital road vignette (rovinieta). No throttling, hotspot included.
Travel Tips
- Check whether the Transfăgărășan is open before you drive it. This famous mountain road is typically passable only from around July to October and is under snow the rest of the year, with exact dates varying by season. Expect hairpin bends, Bâlea Lake, and the possibility of brown bears near the road. Mountain stretches can lose signal, so download offline maps first.
- Buy your rovinieta before you drive. Romania charges road tax through a vignette, bought online or at gas stations, and toll roads are otherwise rare. Visitors with a non-EU driving licence also need an International Driving Permit.
- Book the big sights ahead, and bring your passport. The Palace of Parliament in Bucharest is an active government building, so guided tours need advance booking and a passport, and online booking is mandatory for Peleș Castle. At Bran Castle, arriving at opening time helps you beat the crowds.
- Plan the Danube Delta as a boat trip. The best time to visit is April to October, when birdlife is at its peak, with over 300 species including pink pelicans. Getting around is by boat through remote channels, so download offline maps before you head out.
- Carry some lei for smaller towns. Cards work in cities, but cash is useful in smaller towns. Exchange bureaus usually offer better rates than banks, and most don’t charge fees.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When is the Transfăgărășan Highway open?
A: Typically from around July to October, though the exact dates vary with snowfall, so check the current status before you go. The wider best time to visit Romania is May to September, with late spring especially good for the mountains and towns.
Q: Do I need a vignette to drive in Romania?
A: Yes. Romania requires a road tax vignette (rovinieta), which you can buy online or at gas stations. If your driving licence isn’t from the EU, you’ll also need an International Driving Permit.
Q: Do I need to book the Palace of Parliament and Peleș Castle in advance?
A: Yes for both. The Palace of Parliament requires advance booking and a passport, and English-language tours should be reserved ahead. Peleș Castle in Sinaia requires online booking.
Q: Is Bran Castle really Dracula’s castle?
A: It’s marketed that way, but the real connection to the Dracula legend is thin. Vlad the Impaler is associated with the nearby town of Sighișoara, where he was born. The castle is still worth the visit for its setting, though it gets busy at peak hours.
Q: I’m also visiting Bulgaria or Hungary. Which plan should I get?
A: Our Europe eSIM (40 Areas) covers Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Serbia on a single plan, which is simpler than buying a separate eSIM for each border.
