Romanian travelers favor Greece and Prague for budget summer trips

Cluj residents are increasingly choosing Mediterranean destinations for their summer holidays. Greece remains the top choice, with families traveling repeatedly to islands such as Crete, Rhodes, Zakynthos and Corfu, often using personal cars to reduce costs. Spain and Turkey also rank highly, the latter praised for all‑inclusive resorts in Antalya that appeal to families with children. Direct charter flights from Avram Iancu International Airport and improved road links to Bulgaria support this trend, while travelers allocate budgets that exceed the national average for leisure.

A separate analysis by Hoppa identified Prague, Czech Republic, as the cheapest European city for a 2026 vacation. Average hotel rates for a three‑star room are about €101 per night, a meal costs roughly €10, and public transport fares are under €2 per ride. The city offers over 600 low‑cost attractions, including the historic Prague Castle, Charles Bridge and St. Vitus Cathedral, making it especially attractive for cost‑conscious tourists.
