Weather
Mid-March in Bucharest is early spring: daytime highs typically around 8-12 C and night-time lows close to 0-3 C, with brisk wind and a mix of sunshine, rain showers and occasional late snow. Halls are heated but the walk between Romexpo pavilions and car parks is exposed. These are climatological bands rather than a forecast - check the forecast for 15-18 March 2027 in the final week before travelling.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Romania is an EU member, so EU/EEA roaming rules apply to European SIMs and your home allowance usually works on arrival. Visitors from outside the EU should arrange a travel eSIM or buy a prepaid SIM from a Romanian operator such as Orange, Vodafone, Digi or Telekom, which requires photo ID. Romexpo halls and most Bucharest hotels provide Wi-Fi, but coverage on a crowded stand floor is variable - bring a mobile hotspot or a data bundle if you depend on live product demos. Mobile and fixed broadband in Bucharest are generally fast and widely available.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Arriving in Bucharest
Henri Coanda (OTP) is the city's main airport, roughly 16 km north of the centre on the DN1. The express 747 bus, metered taxis from the official rank and app-based rides are the standard ways into town; avoid unsolicited offers inside the terminal.
Language and money
Romanian is the official language, with English widely spoken in hotels, exhibition halls and among younger trade visitors. The currency is the leu (RON); cards are accepted almost everywhere in the capital, but keep small cash for transit tickets, parking attendants and market purchases.
Business etiquette
Romanian business meetings tend to start with a handshake and a short exchange before the agenda; titles and company names are used formally at first. Punctuality is expected at the fairground, and technical discussions with engineers usually move quickly to specifications and price once introductions are done.
Dining and tipping
Lunch is the main restaurant meal of the day and fair-week bookings in the centre fill up. Tipping of around 10 percent is customary in restaurants and cafes when service is not already included; taxis and app rides are normally paid to the metered or in-app amount.
Practical guides
Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: OTP
Otopeni (OTP) is the practical arrival point for Romtherm; Aurel Vlaicu (BBU) now handles mainly business and general aviation. Google Flights captures for a 15 March 2027 arrival show one-stop itineraries to OTP via Istanbul (Turkish Airlines), London Heathrow (British Airways and partners), Zurich (SWISS), Amsterdam (KLM), Paris CDG (Air France), Vienna (Austrian), Warsaw (LOT) and Dubai (Emirates/flydubai). Non-stop options from outside Europe are limited, so budget a connection and compare fares across Star Alliance, oneworld and SkyTeam routings. Captured fares were flagged as typical at the time and are not quotes - reprice before booking, and check baggage allowances if you carry samples.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Henri Coanda International Airport (Otopeni) (OTP): 30-60 min by road depending on traffic; Aurel Vlaicu International Airport (Baneasa) (BBU): 15-25 min by road. Allow road or rail time to Romexpo; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Romexpo: Bucharest city centre: Hello Hotels Bucharest; Bucharest city centre: ibis Styles Bucharest City Center; Politehnica district, Bucharest: ibis Bucharest Politehnica.
Ride-hail: App-based ride-hailing is widely used in Bucharest and is the simplest way to reach Romexpo from a city-centre or Floreasca hotel, since the fare is fixed in the app and no negotiation is needed. At Otopeni airport use the marked ride-hailing pickup zone outside arrivals rather than accepting offers from drivers inside the terminal, and check the plate and driver name before getting in. Expect higher prices during the first morning of the fair and around hall closing time.
Public transit: Bucharest public transport combines STB buses, trolleybuses and trams with the Metrorex metro network (lines M1 to M5) on one shared ticketing system: rechargeable contactless cards, single tickets and day or multi-day passes. Romexpo has no dedicated metro station, so the usual approach is a metro ride followed by a short tram or bus hop to the Piata Presei Libere and Bulevardul Expozitiei side of the fairground. Validate every journey and keep the card for the return leg.
Parking: Romexpo has large on-site surface car parks used during fairs, with paid daily parking in the region of RON 15-30 (approximate - confirm with the venue on arrival). Spaces near the main gates fill early on the opening morning, so arrive with time to spare and keep small cash in case payment machines are out of service. Allow a five to ten minute walk from the outer car parks to the halls.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: March 2027 (early spring in Bucharest)
Temperature: Approx. 2-12 C by day in mid-March, with night-time values close to 0-3 C; climatological band, confirm with a forecast before travel
Seasonality: March is a transitional month: rain showers are common, late snow is possible and wind makes the fairground feel colder than the thermometer suggests. Daylight lengthens noticeably during the month.
Packing: Pack layers - shirt plus jumper plus a windproof jacket - along with waterproof shoes for walking between Romexpo halls and car parks, an umbrella and a scarf for early starts. Halls are heated but the outdoor walk from parking or the tram stop is exposed, and evening temperatures drop quickly.

Planning
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
