Currency: The official currency is the Romanian Leu (RON). Although Romania is a member of the EU, it does not use the euro. Card payment is widespread in cities, but it is essential to carry cash for rural areas.

Internal Transportation: Trains are a good option for covering long distances between major cities, although they can be slow. Buses and minibuses ('maxitaxi') are more efficient for shorter routes. Renting a car is the best option for flexibility and exploring remote areas, but road quality can be variable.

Language: The official language is Romanian, a Romance language. English is increasingly common among young people and in the tourism sector. Hungarian and German are also spoken in some areas of Transylvania.

Tips: Tipping is common practice. In restaurants it is customary to leave around 10% of the total bill, although it is not usually included in the ticket. It is also usually rounded in taxis.
