Top experiences at low prices

Over the last decades, Bucharest has grown into a vibrant European capital, a multifaceted city that is still expanding and is far off from its maximum potential.

Bucharest is by far the largest city in Romania and in Europe, with an official population of over 2 million and an unofficial one of over 4 million.

When compared to other European cities, Bucharest is quite an affordable destination. The cost of living in Bucharest is around 50% lower compared to other major Western cities like Vienna, London, Berlin, Paris etc.

The currency in Romania is the Romanian Leu. The conversion rate to the RON is 1 dollar to 4.18 RON as of September 25, 2020.
