Romania, Bucharest and the leu as starting points for your trip
Romania is in southeastern Europe, and its capital is Bucharest. Romanian and the leu offer useful starting points; check current transport and services before booking.
A location to help shape your plans
Romania is in southeastern Europe. This helps place the country on a map, but it does not determine a route or tell you how long journeys will take. Before choosing a base or linking destinations, check up-to-date information for the specific trips you plan to make.
Bucharest as a national reference point
Bucharest is Romania’s capital and can be a useful reference when you begin planning your trip. Don’t assume that a particular connection, airport or service is operating simply because it appears in a listing or database. Before booking, confirm its current status directly with the relevant source.
Romanian and the leu: useful facts, not the whole picture
Romanian is listed as the country’s language, and its currency is the Romanian leu (RON; symbol: lei). Before travelling, check which payment, exchange and communication options are available and under what conditions. Knowing the currency does not tell you which payment methods are accepted or what exchange rates apply.
What to check before finalising your plans
Check transport schedules and availability, the connections you need and any services that affect your itinerary. Confirm flight details directly with airlines or airports, too: database listings may not reflect current operations. Recheck the latest information close to your departure date.
