For most travelers from the EU, the USA, and many other countries, no visa is required to enter Romania. A stay of up to 90 days is generally visa-free. For longer stays or specific nationalities, it is advisable to contact the Romanian embassy. Applying for a visa usually takes place before arrival and is not available at the airport.
Henri Coandă International Airport in Bucharest is the largest and best airport for international flights. Alternatively, you can also use Avram Iancu International Airport in Cluj-Napoca or Târgu Mureș International Airport. These airports provide good connections to the most popular motorcycle tours in Romania.
The local currency in Romania is the Leu (RON). It is advisable to carry cash, as not all places accept credit cards, especially in rural areas. ATMs are widely available, and you can usually pay with Visa or MasterCard. Plan to exchange some cash before traveling or withdraw from the airport.
Travel insurance is strongly recommended, but no specific vaccinations are necessary. Check your standard vaccinations and ensure you secure comprehensive travel insurance that also covers motorcycle riding. This protects you in case of an accident or illness during your travels in Romania.
To ride a motorcycle in Romania, you need a valid driver's license that allows motorcycle operation. An EU driver's license is valid, and international licenses are also accepted. Check if your driver's license is recognized in Romania, especially if you live outside the EU. Motorcycle insurance is also mandatory.
