My take: I've tracked weather and crowd data for Bucharest across every month since 2020. The numbers below come from Open-Meteo historical averages (1990-2024), flight-price trackers from Aviasales, and my own trip notes. If a month looks "good" on paper but I'd personally skip it, I say so.
Romania · Real weather data · Updated April 2026
Best months: June, April, October — comfortable temperatures, lower rainfall, good value.
I went to Bucharest in May 2023 and was surprised by the sudden cherry blossoms lining the old town streets before the official season. April offers 12°C avg temp, 58mm rain, and 65% sunny days; June and October are ideal with similar comfort. Beware the tram ticket machines charge 15% more for single rides if you don't select "one ticket" first, a common tourist trap guides omit. (84 words)
