The number of free days may increase depending on what the government wants or who knows what new events will take place in 2020. But I just summarize the ones mentioned above and come up with a series of recommendations, obviously subjective, for city breaks and vacations. .

January 24-26, 2020

From January 24-26, you can opt for an extended weekend at a ski resort in Bulgaria, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Germany. Our recommendation is for a short vacation to skiing in Bansko, Bulgaria. It is near, about 7 hours drive from Bucharest. And 2 nights accommodation for 2 persons costs from 46 € / room.

Or you can discover new European destinations in a city break. We recommend Vienna, Munich, Bari, Prague, Warsaw, Basel. There are destinations about 2 hours away from the flight. You can choose between low-cost flights (Wizz Air, Ryanair, Blue Air) and full-service (Lufthansa, Air France, TAROM, etc.). 2 tickets Bucharest - Warsaw cost somewhere from 400 lei. 2 tickets Bucharest - Basel cost somewhere from 600 lei. 2 tickets Bucharest - Bari cost somewhere from 480 lei. You have a choice, and the rates are not scary.

Period 1-3 May 2020

Another extended weekend will be May 1-3, 2020. One more reason to travel. The tradition of May 1st says you have to take a bath in the sea. Okay, that is if the weather is favorable and the water is suitable for bathing.

You can opt for a short vacation on Romanian seaside. Remember that you can pay with holiday vouchers for holidays in Romania. Or you can opt for coastal Bulgaria, where there are a variety of offers at different resorts such as Albena, Sunny Beach, Golden Sands.

You can also set up a city break in Europe. As it is only 3 days, I do not recommend that you venture too far. Preferably, the flights should not exceed 3-4 hours maximum. I recommend destinations from the Mediterranean Sea basin. You can opt for a short one Athens city break. Or a short vacation in Paphos, Cyprus. There are many flights to destinations in Italy, ideal for short getaways in late spring. You can also opt for a holiday in Odessa, something new.

The period May 30 - June 1, 2020

For Children's Day I have prepared some holiday recommendations with the little ones. We have chosen for you some famous destinations for the famous amusement parks. Recommendations Legoland Germany, which is close to Munich and Memmingen. There are direct flights from Bucharest to both destinations. TAROM and Lufthansa on the route Bucharest - Munich, and Wizz Air to Memmingen.

Another famous amusement park in Germany is PLAYMOBIL-Fun Park, near Nurmeberg. Read about those 10 reasons to go on holiday in Nuremberg. It could not miss our recommendations Disneyland Paris, France. Fly to Paris (Air France, TAROM, Wizz Air, Blue Air) and then travel to Marne-la-Vallée. Disneyland packages are not cheap, but I think it is worth it for the children.

If you're passionate about miniature objects, don't miss out Miniature Wunderland from Hamburg, Germany. Hamburg flies directly to TAROM and Blue Air. The prices are good.

The period November 28 - December 1, 2020

An extended weekend of 4 days will be between November 28 and December 1. For patriots, we recommend a city ​​break at IAII and we give you 10 reasons to do so.

Or you can travel in search of the most beautiful Christmas Fairs. In the country you have a choice between Bucharest, Sibiu or Cluj. In Europe, the most famous Christmas fairs are in Strasbourg, France; Vienna, Austria; Munich, Germany; Prague, Czech Republic; Budapest, Hungary. There are direct flights from Romania to these destinations and it would be good to schedule your flights in time. Or you can opt for bus circuits.
