Is Bucharest expensive or affordable? ⇩⇩Click ‘show more’⇩⇩
After spending just over one month living in Bucharest, Romania I really wanted to share with you guys the cost of living here. n this
The costs I cover in this vlog can be found at these timestamps:
➪ Accommodation: 1:09
➪ Transport: 2:14
➪ Eating out: 3:07
➪ Groceries: 4:10
➪ Gym: 5:45
➪ Phone plans and sim cards: 6:15
➪ Europe city price comparison: 7:17
Bucharest was a great city to stay in, we highly recommend it to other remote workers out there looking for a long term place to stay. The Internet was good and public transport was frequent.
Overall out of all of the European countries we have travelled and lived in so far 1. Ukraine was by far the cheapest, 2. Poland coming in second, 3. Romania, 4. Croatia 5. And of course, Austria was the most expensive undoubtedly.

Hey!
My name is Lana and I come from New Zealand!
I chose to leave my job as a nurse to go travelling in 2018, little did I know that I wouldn’t return to my nursing life. I continued on this path of travel to see the world and explore new food and cultures. I have fallen in love with travel and the interesting experiences that come with it. I love making videos and sharing my experiences with you guys!
So join me on this interesting adventure!

Romanian here 👋🏻 glad you visited
Iulia Vrsk Hello Lulia!! We are very glad too 🥰
Hey elsa 👋 I need your help please 🙏
The Obor markets look great! Wow the cost of eggs are great, certainly cheaper than NZ.
Yes that was one of our favourite places in Bucharest! I know haha! So good! The foods so reasonably priced there 😊.
I hope the farmers will never die, otherwise we will get fake products from the supermarkets. Biggest markets in Romania are Lidl, Auchan, Kaufland and Carrefour.
What happened to NZ? I remember my parents struggled after the fall of communism and wanted to emigrate in the 90s in NZ, we still think about Australia and NZ as some beautiful place huge salaries a great life and cheap food. My father died in 2006 after struggling with an illness, we never got to NZ
ifell in love with your videos about Bucharest! Usually almost every travel videos creators go to the most fancy and expensive places to get the best experience but in your videos you really explore the lifestye and food and the full real romanian experience. I adore you chill and cool vibe! KEPP GOING!
Hello!
Thank you this comment means a lot to me. We love to visit the more local restaurants. And Romania has some very interesting people and cuisine 😊❤️
wow! this is a really good share ^^ very informative and good to know for us that haven't been to Bucharest yet ^^
Thank you guys!! 😁😁 I hope you had a great weekend!! 😊
A wonderful country and lovely people.
I am surprised that you didn't visit other cities, like Sinaia, Poiana Brasov, Timişoara and many others.
I love Romania and it's people like my own country, they are super kind and modest.
Thanks anyway for your lovely efforts and kindness.👍👍👍❤❤❤
Hello,
We had a great time in Romania 🇷🇴 I still have to go back to see all these places you mentioned 😊 Thank you for watching!
Hi lana. My wife told me tonight thats she loves your vlogs because they are so detailed and informative and you get straight to the point and and you speek so clearly. Both of us look forward to each new video. Well done again.
Hi John! Aw thanks! That’s so kind of you both. That just made my day 😊
You always make such thorough cost of living videos! Knowing food costs always handy and also good to know about sims from the airport being a fair price.. it's something I often wonder but don't normally shop around for lol 😅 Thanks for sharing all your insights! 🙂💕
Thank you!! ☺️ Yeah sometimes we just buy one at the airport and then look for a cheaper one outside but this one was quite good. We didn’t settle for the first person we asked though 😅 Thanks for watching! I hope you have a great weekend! It must be your last one back home 😊
Your videos are always so cool. Hello. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your day! 😎👏👏👍
Hello, and thank you so much! I hope you enjoy your day too!
nice video!:)
i m from romania. i can say tho u find groceries way cheaper than mega, that s pretty expensive .
and acomodation at airbnb is expensive as well. if u rent an apartment for 1-2 months it s way cheaper.
same with eating out, especially in old town everything is expensive. there ar beetter places.
nice video and very informative!
Hey 👋 need your help alinnn
Please 🙏
@@oussamafadel5190 watcha need??
@@alinnn4798 Can you contact me on what's up this IS m'y Number +213663582227 thanks 🙏
@@oussamafadel5190 tell me why? i dont add random strangers. you need to provide me more information
@@alinnn4798 yeah i understand you! But i Need some more informations about study in roumania and how Is the Life ou international students there in Bucarest because i Will come to continue m'y studies in Bucarest ..and you know i dont know many thing about your country if you want please help me that's all 🙏
Update: Hey guys! A few of you have wondered about our Airbnb cost. Please keep in mind we stayed in Bucharest for Christmas and New Years so the price was a little higher. If you want to rent more affordable apartments you can meet locals in Facebook groups and rent through them. AirBnb is usually more expensive.
Hey everyone! I hope you’re having a great week! Where is the cheapest country in Europe you have travelled to? 😀
hmm as we had been to Switzerland (which for us is really expensive there) so would say Italy and France are cheaper but not sure about the cheapest :)
Hey... I just want to tell you som cute... 😇I'm Romainian and now we have 5G in all Romainia....😁😂😂 the best internet of the world...uhh😁
Andrei Mili Wow that’s awesome to hear! We found the internet in Romania to be super fast. The best we’ve ever had 😊.
@@LanaTiare That's one thing we did right here ..it's one of the best in the world ,top 5 to 10 depends on the way you're measuring it. Mobile internet on the other hand ..it's average
Av Ra Yes for sure! I found the mobile data to be okay. Although we don't rely on it for everything.
Very cool video and great comparison, but I believe that the salaries from each of these countries should also be covered in a future video, as that changes the situation a lot. Thanks for the video! :)
Hello,
Thanks so much for watching and for your feedback. I really like your idea, that’s definitely something to consider next time I make one of these. Just out of curiosity do you live in Romania or travel to there often? 😊
@@LanaTiare thank you! I live here! :) I'm also going to share this video on my list for foreigners who want to know about Romania, is it's ok with you. I can send you a link in private to see where I've made the list. Good job!
Awesome to hear! Yes I’d love it if you shared my video! Thanks so much. Definitely send me the link too then 😊😊
@@LanaTiare yep. I just commented on your Facebook page. :)
Mega Image is expensive as a supermarket, Lidl as u said or Carrefour, Obor market also not bad on prices.
Yes true, mega image is convenient but not always the cheapest. We loved the Obor markets 😆😍
very good Explanation.!!
Thanks so much 😊🙏
I hope you guys come back to Romania 🔙 🤠
Romania loves you
We would love to come back 🥰
Very helpful! Thanks for sharing!🌺
Thank you so much 😊☺️❤️
Amazing video ! Glad you enjoyed it!!
Thank you!! We sure did 😊😊
Great review and comparison of various costs for popular European cities.
Thank you! 😊🙏
$11 for 60GB? In Belgium we pay €15 for 4GB :(
Yeah I know it's such a good price. It was actually $5.50 each. Much more affordable then what we pay back home too! 😄
Well you can get unlimited internet for 2Euro but only with a contract. Internet has gotten dirt cheap in the late couple years even for us.
You can get prepaids with unlimited data too, tho not for 2 euros of, around 6, if I remember well.
I pay 2 euros for unlimited everything
I pay 35 € for 50 GB in Germany.
Awesome country...
F Farhad Yes it sure is ☺️
Yes if you don t live in😂
100th like :). even before watching :))
You paid too much for the accommodation, pretty sure you got something fancy, otherwise you can find places with $300-500 as easy.
Great video !!
Blablagerman Thank you!! 😊😊
am in love u😍😍
It's useful... Hope visit soon..
Glad it was useful! Thanks for watching 😊🙏
Nice video
Good Video,I would like to Know if the SCholarship stipend of 65-85 Euros can enable a student for food etc? In Romania/Bucharest/Iasi or Cluj???
Good luck lana
Thank you 😊🙏
You could have stayed in a similar flat for half this price, but booked individually and not via Airbnb. Also, if you only book via Airbnb, try to negotiate at least! And next time try to use the bus, not the tram. The buses are all new, Land Rovers.
Did you visit Therme spa or not? And no malls? Bucharest has over 20 malls, one of the nicest is AFI Palace. And order via Glovo!
Ah yes we realise this but it’s hard when we’re travelling all the time AirBnb is easier. Most long term rentals want a deposit, paperwork, etc. And that was our negotiated price 🙂
Alin Petrus what websites would you recommend to find a similar flat for " half the price"?
I'd rather buy my eggs fresh, locally produced in Romania, than eggs imported from Germany or Austria. Locally made in Romania veggies also tend to have a better taste than the imported, industrially produced, unripe ones, especially the red tomatoes.
Very true! The local markets also have the freshest looking fruit and veggies 🌶 🍇😊
Nice
You would have a lot more viewers if you calculate the prices in EURO €. People from middle east, northern Africa, Balkan or former UDSSR-States are using Euros for costs calculations.
did u make a log at ferentari sector 5 ?
What are the names of the restaurants? It looks great and very cheap
I would love to move to Bucharest in 2 years from the us
Let me know about how much does it cost to eat per month if I cook myself in Bucharest?
You guys got robbed. Most of the things you got were expensive, even for Bucharest. talk to a local next time.
Romanian girls are very beautyful
Romania is good country
welcome.
Hello i am nepal but i am right now romania
Very nice! I hope you enjoy your time there 😊
I’ll go to bucharest by erasmus ı don’t know where ı ‘ll stay?could someone help me? I have question about staying in bucharest.
Regarding Bucharest, the accomodation is not as big as in Cluj Napoca, Timisoara, Iasi or Brasov normally. Because the competition is higher and the IT as percent is not as much as in the other. But check Pipera.
Oh I see. Good to know thank you 😊
1550 USD/month :) sweet :))) I'l just go print some cash on my printer. Average salary is 500 for a normal worker, for skilled workers aka engineers around 800-950 :)))
pleaca la munca in vest si ai sa vezi alta perspectiva
@@Daniel-lh4do :)) did that for over 20 years :))

4:57 You said any items you can't find at the markets, you can find at ________? Sorry could not make out exactly what you said there mate.
careffour
supermarket
If Lana tirae is their then it's worth it no worry for 💰
Hi 👋
Holy crap that’s so expensive for lodging!!!
Rhonda Rose Yeah it wasn’t too bad, about $24 USD per night. I guess it sounds like more if you say it altogether.
If the food and the cost of living is lower, it is also normal to be supplemented by the cost of accommodation.
Don't forget though that you are still in Europe and you don't find everything cheap
Buna
I have future plan work visa apply to romania ?
Hi
How is it possible that food in Romania is more expensive than in Croatia and only a little bit cheaper than in Austria? Something does not seem to be right here.
It’s a comparison of what we spent on our groceries monthly. So we ate at home a lot more in Romania, Croatia and Austria. Yes Austria was expensive but we bought the cheapest brands for everything there. This is only to give an idea of expenses, of course everyone may spend differently.
Hi Lana
I am manik miah is from Bangladesh, next three months after I am coming to Romania with my family, so please send me a minimum house 🏠 rent in satumaria .
Beautiful 💖💖💖💖 you are interested in Bangladesh
I want to marry in Romania is it possible
In Bucharest you don't have to eat Mexican or Asian food from super/hypermarkets, we have a lot of foreign restaurants.
Haha yeah I just love to cook. But we did see many restaurants here thank you for this 😊
I need job offer
S
My help you
Hello Madame naiss I well come oman to Romania you have work permid.
Oh lovely. We didn’t work in Romania actually. But I’m sure you will need a permit to work there. Are you planning to work in Romania?
Come on, you can do better than that on accommodation.
Yes we know, we did visit during Christmas and New Years so unfortunately the prices were a little higher than we usually pay 😅
Ditch the USD, compare in bitchcoin baby
Only 1 city during a winter month? I hope you had a business reason to be there otherwise it was a waste of resources.
Hmm according to price its better to stay in austria. Now it's very difficult to understand how expensive Romania
Haha yes I think we were in Romania during the festive season so accommodation was a bit pricey. But overall I’m sure if you rent through a local or an apartment Romania will be much more affordable :)
@@LanaTiare the places are pricy because most of the people own the places where they live, somewhere aroung 80% of ppl. Also rent goes down by a lot if the landlord rents for extended periods of time, like you are gonna live there for at least 1+year and pay for gas, electricity and stuff. Its still expensive for the average wage here but as i said not many live on rented places
@@LanaTiare also you could just make a long term loan with the bank and get an apartment, they go from 25.000 to 100.000 euros or more for the fanciest. With 50.000 euro you could get a good apartment. Or get a lower quality one and invest like 5.000 to 10.000 euro and have it super clean and the way you want. Its better to pay for the loan than to pay for the rent.
