Tips to save money in Romania

✓ Use Revolut / Wise instead of airport currency exchange. The rate is 5-10% better. ATM fee calculator →
✓ Public transport, not taxi. A metro/bus ticket in Bucharest costs 3 RON (~0.60 EUR). A 5 km Bolt ride costs 15-25 RON.
✓ Supermarket > restaurant. Lidl, Kaufland, Mega Image have very low prices. A full meal from the supermarket costs under 20 RON.
✓ Free activities: parks (Herastrau, Cismigiu), churches, free walking tours, Bucegi Natural Park.
✓ Accommodation outside the center: Airbnb in residential neighborhoods costs 30-50% less. Public transport compensates the difference.
⚠ At the ATM, choose "without conversion" (refuse conversion / without conversion). DCC conversion costs 3-7% extra.
