FAQ
1. Is Romania only about Dracula and castles, or is there more to do?
A lot more.
Yes, Transylvania and Bran Castle are iconic, but Romania also has:
- nightlife in Bucharest,
- epic hikes in the Carpathian Mountains,
- chill beaches in Vama Veche,
- colourful old towns like Brașov, Sibiu, Cluj.
It’s a full buffet, not a single dish.
2. How cheap is Romania compared to Western Europe?
Very budget-friendly.
Hostels, food, drinks, trains — everything is significantly cheaper.
Bucharest is pricier than small towns, but still great value for travellers.

3. How safe is it for solo travellers, especially at night?
Generally very safe.
Pickpocketing happens in busy areas (old town Bucharest, train stations).
Nightlife is big — stick to registered taxis/Bolt/Uber after clubbing.

4. What’s the easiest way to get around the country?
Distances look small on the map but take longer than expected.
Options:
- Trains: scenic but slow.
- Buses: faster between some cities.
- Domestic flights: useful for longer jumps like Bucharest ↔ Cluj.
- Renting a car: best for castles, rural villages, and mountain routes.
5. Are the clubs in Bucharest really that good?
Yes — that’s the secret no one tells you.
Bucharest has some of Europe’s best electronic/techno clubs (Control, Kristal, Nuba).
Dress code is casual but stylish; don’t show up super drunk.

6. Do I need to worry about stray dogs?
Far less than years ago.
Cities have cleaned up massively — you’ll still see some in rural areas, but they’re usually calm.
Avoid approaching them; they mostly mind their own business.
