FAQs
Don’t forget to buy Romanian lei (RON) before you leave for Romania
When preparing for your trip to Romania, it is important to find out about practices, habits and especially the use of the local currency, which is the Romanian leu (RON). Romania being a developed country, you will be able to pay by credit card in most shops, restaurants and other establishments. However, we recommend that you always carry cash for certain situations that require it such as buying bus tickets or street food. We also suggest that you exchange euro ron before you leave for a better trade rate. We advise you to establish a travel budget so that you may know how much travel money to bring along.
