How busy were the holiday months in 2025?
Each month's share of Romania's tourist nights (Eurostat, 2025), as on our Romania page, next to the 2026 holidays in that month. The figures do not show that holidays make a month busier or quieter, so we do not say they do.

|---|---|---|
| January | 1 January, 2 January, 6 January, 7 January, 24 January | 5.5% |
| April | Good Friday (Orthodox), Easter Sunday (Orthodox), Easter Monday (Orthodox) | 5.8% |
