Romania in $530s-$570s RT

Flights to Romania don't exactly scream budget-friendly. Deals can be rare, but they’re out there if you know where to look. Spring and autumn hit the sweet spot—warm enough for adventure, cool enough to keep the crowds away.

From both cities, Transylvania is easily doable - a train ride or road trip takes you through rolling hills, forests, and the occasional fortress perched atop a cliff, all leading you toward the heart of this legendary region. 

Brașov is the gem here, the gateway to Transylvania’s castles, hiking trails, and folklore. Give yourself a few days to discover why it's quickly becoming a favourite for digital nomads. 

Leaving from Cluj, you'll pass through towns like Turda, where its famous salt mine is nothing short of surreal.
