If you want to move to Romania or just plan to visit the country, but you don’t know a lot about it, you should check out one of my recommended books about Romania below.
The advantage of a book (especially if you choose the traditional, paper product) is that you can carry it around at all times, independent of an internet connection and it has all the info you need in an easy to access structure.
Today’s article will help you check out 5 of the best books about Romania, instantly available on Amazon, where you can learn a lot about this country, from its history to how things are today or top things to visit and even learn a bit of Romanian.
In other words, each of these books will provide extremely useful information about living in Romania or traveling to this beautiful country, each with its own unique approach and area of expertise, as you will see.
The number of books about Romania overall is pretty low and they might be lacking here and there in terms of up to date information a person moving to Romania might need.
However, the recommendations below are still pretty solid and you’ll learn a lot about this beautiful country especially if you are old school like me and still prefer books.
I did select the best on offer and I am sure that, despite the low pool of titles to choose from, you will still learn a lot about the country from these books.
Or just stick to reading this blog – it’s free and I do my best to keep it as up to date as possible. Your choice.

It used to be updated yearly, but the latest version I could found was this 2020 one. Still good overall.
It focuses mostly on Bucharest, but has a lot of useful information about the rest of the country as well.
Featuring everything from finding a place to live, navigating the nightlife, discovering the cuisine and peasant markets, or living green to Romanian art and more, this is a professionally written book by the folks behind Romania-based website Romania Insider.
Definitely check it out here.
The Rough Guide to Romania
This is also a guide book that gets republished regularly – so make sure that you do get the latest edition (the one I linked to below, at the moment). Here’s the complete description of the book, as published by its authors:
