Romania is one of the most unique, historical countries in Europe. Its history is riddled with some of the most voracious characters and destinations in the world including Vlad The Impaler, whom some say the famous Bran Stoker’s character Dracula is based on, and Bran Castle, better known as Dracula’s Castle.
Romania has vast landscapes, beautiful architecture, and a vibe that is completely different than most places in Europe. It has a rich history and vibrant energy that contributes to the exciting energy and nightlife that is exclusive to Romania.

The local currency in Romania is the leu, or lei (plural). Don’t go to exchange your money at the airport, you will pay very high fees. It’s best to use your credit card at a cash machine and take money out that way. Make sure to call your bank and let them know you will be traveling in another country so they don’t shut down your credit card access while you are in another country!
