Romania in southeastern Europe and Bucharest as a starting point

Romania is in Europe, specifically in the southeastern part of the continent. Bucharest offers a clear reference point for locating the country, but it should not be mistaken for an itinerary: the information available here does not describe connections between cities, travel distances or journey times. If your plans include other Romanian destinations, check separately how to reach each one and how long each journey takes.

The country’s language is Romanian, and its currency is the Romanian leu, with the code RON and the symbol lei. These are stable facts that help identify the language and monetary unit used in the country. They do not tell you which payment methods are accepted in each place or what exchange rate you will get, so confirm current conditions before planning your spending.

The information consulted does not confirm current routes, timetables or transport services. It also does not verify flights, airlines or whether airports are currently operating: an available airport record is only a snapshot and may be out of date. Before buying tickets, check the details with the relevant airline, airport or operator. The country profile and geographic sources listed at the end can be used to verify the location, capital, language and currency.
