Don’t forget to buy Romanian Lei (RON) before travelling to Romania

As you prepare for your trip to Romania, it’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with local customs, culture, and especially the currency—the Romanian Leu (RON). While Romania is a modern country where you can use credit cards in most shops, restaurants, and hotels, it’s always handy to carry some cash—especially for small purchases such as bus tickets or street food.

We recommend exchanging your SEK to RON before you travel, as this often gives you a better exchange rate. Planning a travel budget will also help you manage your expenses and ensure you bring the right amount of spending money.

Budget tips for your trip to Romania

You can comfortably plan for a daily budget of around 280 RON per person. This will typically cover a 3-star hotel, a traditional restaurant meal, some local street food, and your daily public transport.

A sit-down meal at a restaurant costs approximately 60 RON, while fast food can be as little as 20 RON.
