Do’s:

• It would be helpful to learn a few basic phrases and words in the local language, especially if one needs to deal with government officials, shopkeepers, and vendors.
• Use the services of a bank when withdrawing or exchanging money.
• Try to find out in advance the price of fares, especially cabs, as chances of being cheated cannot be ruled out.
• Try to mingle with the locals as much as possible; it is a great way to get to know the place and its culture.
• Try to visit the countryside and enjoy the natural beauty which abounds everywhere.
• Beware of old currency, which can still be found in circulation though it is no longer a legal tender.
• For making calls, phone cards are available at post offices or dedicated kiosks. Another option is a Romanian SIM card, though voice and text fees can be higher.
• It is customary to leave a 10% tip at restaurants.

Don’t:

• Talk about Communism;
• Take any unregistered taxis; also check the price of the fare before getting in a taxi;
• Be too friendly with street children; chances are you’ll be pickpocketed.

Clubbing, gambling, dancing, karaoke-bar singing, strip clubs, and erotic entertainment parlors make Bucharest a genuine and very popular holiday destination. The "Clubber's Paradise" will never disappoint. The city actually comes to life with a throbbing, energetic pulse at 9:00 p.m. Being much more affordable than other neighboring countries, Bucharest's nightlife swears by its "last man standing" policy and thus, party animals should look no further. Lipscani is an all-time favorite of night owls. With no licensing hours, the bars and pubs are open very late into the night. It is advisable to book in advance at established joints to avoid any disappointments. Bucharest's modern capitalist look can be easily glimpsed in its swanky bars and pubs.  Opportunities to grab a bite to eat abound as heavy clubbing can make one extremely hungry. For street food, it is advisable to pay in cash.
