During the last few months I’ve seen more and more foreign citizens in  Romania. One group that I have spoken with said that they visit Romania because it’s cheap. They had 1000 Euros for a vacation and they spent a month in Romania.

Another group, that I befriended in a train from Busteni to Bucharest, had another story to tell. When they arrived at the Otopeni Airport one of the girls was hassled by a cab driver who claimed that it`s not safe and that the gypsies are after them, so she and her friend took a cab to Ploiesti. At least the price was good, 50 Euros.

Where to drink in Romania

II`m not going to tell you what museum to visit or why the Palace of Parliament is such a great building. If you want to have a great time and meet awesome  people in Bucharest stay away from the suburbs. The historical centre is where you want to be. A great place to visit is “La Motoare”, on top of the National Theatre of Bucharest (TNB). A lot of couch surfers (CS) meet there for a drink. If you are a heavy drinker, “Oktoberfest” is the place to be. They serve beer in 10L buckets at the affordable price of 75 RON(18 EUR). That’s about 4 bottles of shitty Great Britain beers.

If you want really cheap beer, I suggest going to “Argentin”. It’s across the street from “Club A”, on Lipscani street. One beer is about 3.5 RON, which is less than an Euro.

If you are sick of drinking, or want to drink and see some events happening in Bucharest, I recommend Metropotam.ro Translated into English .
