Planning a trip to Romania next August (fingers crossed) & was wondering which border crossing is the quickest ? Heard stories of waiting 4 & 5 hours just to get through the border, do bikers just nip to the front as usual or do you wait in a line with all the cars & lorries ?
Any other tips greatly appreciated not matter how small
We'll be on our RT's & Pan Europeans
We’ve just been there. No delay on the border into Romania from Hungary on the A1, but about 30 mins delay coming back out. The police put you into a queue and you stay there.
I think 5 days in Sibiu is to many. We had a day there and saw what was worth seeing. Are you planning to do the Transalpina or Transfargasan highways ?
If you’re going to travel on the A1. Beware, lots of fuel stations closed.
We ate at the same restaurant in Sibiu both nights. A salad starter, two main courses a beer and a wine cost us about £15.
If you go to Brasov, Bran castle is actually worth a visit. We went by bus and it cost very little to get there.
We took 3 days from Calais to Budapest, had a day off then 1 more day to Sibiu. They where full on travelling days though.
It’s well worth a visit to Transylvania
I found the cost of fuel all over Europe has evened out, but at the more expensive end of the scale. Hotels in Romania are a little cheaper than here as is food.
Oh, beware of bears , we came across them on the Transfargasan highway.
Any other info, feel free to ask
