Welcome to Bucharest! As you prepare to join us for this joyous occasion, here are some valuable tips and insights to help you navigate the city with ease and enjoy the rich cultural tapestry of Romania.
It’s customary to greet people with a handshake. Close friends and relatives may exchange cheek kisses.
Romanians are known for their hospitality. If you’re invited to someone’s home, bringing a small gift like flowers, wine, or sweets is appreciated.
Tipping is customary in Romania. In restaurants, cafes, and taxis, a tip of 10-15% is appreciated if the service is good.
While many taxi drivers in Bucharest are honest and reliable, it’s wise to be cautious. Use reputable taxi companies, or better yet, ride-sharing apps like Uber or Bolt for transparent pricing and routes.
Bucharest’s public transportation system is efficient and affordable. Make sure to validate your ticket to avoid fines.
Bucharest is a walkable city with many beautiful parks and historic neighborhoods. However, be mindful of your belongings in crowded areas.
It’s best to exchange money at banks or official exchange offices. Avoid street exchange vendors to get the most favorable rates without hidden fees.
ATMs are widely available. Use those located in banks, malls, or other secure locations to ensure safety.
Dial 112 for emergency services (police, fire, ambulance) throughout Romania.
Keep an eye on local news for any updates or advisories during your stay.
Tap water is generally safe to drink in Bucharest, but bottled water is widely available and recommended for those with sensitive stomachs.
Don’t miss out on trying traditional Romanian dishes like sarmale (cabbage rolls), mămăligă (polenta), and mititei (grilled minced meat rolls). Vegetarian and vegan options are becoming more available in urban areas.
NO smoking is ALLOWED in interior spaces.
When visiting churches or monasteries, dress modestly and speak softly out of respect for worshippers and the sanctity of these places.
Always ask for permission before taking photos of people or inside private establishments.
