Bacau is a city in the historic region of Moldavia in eastern Romania, the capital of Bacau County, set on the Bistrita River where it meets the Siret in the plains below the Eastern Carpathians. A working industrial and commercial city rather than a headline tourist stop, it is chiefly of interest to travellers as a regional hub and transport gateway - with its own airport (code BCM) serving domestic and some international routes - for the wider attractions of Moldavia and the mountains. From here the Eastern Carpathians rise to the west, with mountain resorts and the Ceahlau massif within reach, while to the north lies Bucovina, famed for its UNESCO-listed painted monasteries. The region has warm summers and cold, snowy winters; late spring to early autumn is the most comfortable season for exploring the surrounding countryside and mountains.

Frequently asked questions

Where is Bacau?
Bacau is a city in the Moldavia region of eastern Romania, capital of Bacau County, on the Bistrita River near its confluence with the Siret in the lowlands below the Eastern Carpathians. It is a working industrial and commercial centre and a regional transport hub rather than a major tourist destination in itself.
Why might travellers pass through Bacau?
Chiefly as a gateway: Bacau has an airport with domestic and some international flights and good road and rail links, making it a practical entry point for the wider region. From here travellers reach the Eastern Carpathian mountains and resorts to the west and the painted monasteries of Bucovina to the north.
What is there to see near Bacau?
The draws lie around the city rather than in it: the Eastern Carpathians with the Ceahlau massif and mountain resorts to the west, and the UNESCO-listed painted monasteries of Bucovina to the north - among Romania's cultural highlights. The Moldavian countryside, with its traditions and vineyards, fills in the picture between them.
When is the best time to visit the region?
Late spring to early autumn - roughly May to September - is the most comfortable season, with warm weather ideal for the mountains, monasteries and countryside. Winters are cold and snowy, which suits the Carpathian ski resorts but makes touring harder. Spring and autumn bring pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds.
