Romania is a paradise for bikers (Motorcycle Tours), because here you will not only find one of the most beautiful mountain roads in the world, the Tranfagarasan, but many beautiful roads to cruise through often beautiful landscapes. The most popular and well known region is Transylvania with the cities of Cluj-Napoca, Timisoara, Brasov and Sibiu, just to name a few. This beautiful region is home to no less than 2 of the world-renowned pass roads that bring a smile to every motorcyclist’s face. Over winding roads with numerous straights and fantastic views of Romania’s fantastic natural landscapes, you will experience an incredible motorbike tour. You can explore Romania and Transylvania on your own or book one of the many guided tours.

Motorcycle Tours

The offer of motorcycle tours in Romania is diverse. You can choose from complete offers to motorcycle rentals. Motorcycle transports from Germany to Romania are also popular. If you drive on your own, I recommend Sibiu (Hermannstadt) or Brasov (Kronstadt) as starting point or base for day tours. Many tours also start in the west of Romania in the city of Timisoara and lead over the pass road Transalpina as well as the pass road Transfagarasan over Sibiu and Brasov to Bucuresti (Bucharest). I drove a few thousand kilometers on Romania’s roads, most of them were better than expected, yet one should always be prepared for unpredictable things. For example, if suddenly a cow, a sheep or a whole herd blocks the road.

Take your time when you are on the road, because the nature and the sometimes picturesque villages, churches or castles will inspire you. Accommodation should not be a problem, from a simple room to a 5-star hotel. Romania’s roads are not yet overcrowded, even if there can be traffic jams on popular stretches on public holidays. Nevertheless, I have not met a single tourist who was not enthusiastic about Romania and its landscapes and the hospitality of the people.
