When in Cluj, always pay with cash. Use Uber as you transportation choice, way cheaper and safer. The taxis will try to ride you for a higher amount. Hotels here are sometimes cheaper than Airbnb.

Если окажетесь в Румынии в Новый Год, будьте внимательны. В это время большая часть магазинов закрывается намного раньше (едой нужно было запасаться заранее), чем указано в графике работы. На магазинах объявления об этом могут вообще отсутствовать. Мы были в небольших городах на Востоке Румынии. В Бухаресте данной проблемы может и не быть. Так, в Сучаве и Яссах были открыты только кофейни. А подкрепиться каким-то супом для туристов было целой проблемой - все заведения были закрыты числа до 4-5 января.

UBER IS YOUR BEST FRIEND, AS IS THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT

At the markets and in stores you can pay both with local currency and with euro. You will be happier with exchange rates by exchanging euro and it’s better to do it at the state banks.

Agree the trip cost with taxi drivers in advance and avoid to take taxis marked with letters «РО» and «Р». These last ones belong to private companies and are considered to be the most expensive taxi in the city.

Despite a great wine selection, pay close attention to Cotnari and Odobesti. These two types of wine are prepared based on classic recipe at old vineyards.

Do you think that it’s impossible to purchase some cheap snacks at the airport? In fact, there are some. At Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport there is Billa supermarket. You can find it at the arrival hall of domestic airlines. It offers the same prices as in the city supermarkets, and moreover, there is a prepared food section.

If you are looking for free attractions, pay your attention to Bucharest churches. They are always open to the public.
