Cost of Living in Bucharest

To anynymyous:Nobody cares or asked about you and the other person s opinions and thoughts.'Romania will be a part of Russia in the near future' nobody cares or asked you.This is a page disccusing cost of living.If you have nothing to countribute, just leave and never come back.

In Bucharest old town I paid 27 Ron for a latte and 14ron for a plain croissant which is about 16 euros or 13.50 gbp

Sorry, I do not have right now all the pricing information you requested!

Ten days ago I went with my wife to look for prices for a bed (ore extensible couch), its mattress, a large carpet and two rugs.
We are still under the impact of the "new" prices - last time we shopped for these was in 2013!

Likewise, I looked for a new high end eyeglass frame, the previous one purchased in 2020 begins to fail. The price in lei is more than four times higher!

We do have inflation, officially some 15%, in fact it is higher.

Strange, the exchange rate for Euro is still a bit less than 5 lei for one Euro, like it was for the past five years!

Since 2021 I am retired, this means I am no longer upt to date with SALARIES in Bucharest.

Sometimes? Almost all the time, you wanted to say... :))

Romania will be part of Russia in the near future.The European union cannot stop it

If you have a position in one of the many multinationals settled during the last 15-17 years in Bucharest, salary could reach 8000-9000 RON (I mean net salary + other benefits, like meal tickets, medical insurance, gift tickets, gym pass, transport monthly pass etc.). I'm talking about positions like Order Management, Accounts Payable/Receivable, Procurement Specialist, Logistic Officer etc. where foreign languages are requested - like German, French, Polish, Czech, Dutch, Spanish (there are dozens of thousands positions like this available on the labour market in Bucharest). At the end, after drawing the line, this result in a NET monthly salary of 1600-1800 EUR.

Whoever said that Romanians are stinky is lying, I have been there and they shower daily and sometines twice a day. If they Say no infraestructura, they are lying too, a 2 million people city With 7 lines of metro, trams and electrical buses plus The fastest and Best internet in all europe cannot be said to have no infraestructura. I have been there many times and Will relocate to Bucharest because of better condicions, safety and cheaper cost of living compared to Bogotá where I Live now. The person saying he heard automátic weapons fired at night must have been having a nightmare about The middle east. I walked from city Center to My staying place at Any hour, many times and never had or Saw Any crime or violence in The streets of Bucharest! Food is great and much cheaper than here in Bogotá. Numbeo should check The prices reported

Wow, so many russian trolls in the comment section, talking BS.

Hi all! I'm so frustrated to see racist comments about this country. First of all, every country has bad and good people, and in general, I can say that Romanians are one of the kindest people in the world. They will welcome you in such a great way and they will give you all they have to make you feel good.
Romania is not an unsafe country, not at all. The prices in Bucharest are higher compared to the rest of the country, but please compare it with other European capitals and you will make the difference. The normal cost of living (rent, food, bills) is normal, not cheap, not expensive, if you want to go to a restaurant might be higher than other east European countries, but trying to compare them with France, Italy, Spain, is cheaper. But here you can find very nice places, restaurants, bars, that can't be compared to other countries at a decent price.
Please try once to visit it, to see the landscapes, the beauty of nature, of the Carpati Mountains and you will not regret it. Also try to meet Romanians and try to go to a party here with them, and you will never want to leave this contry.

If you are rich this is a good city but if you are poor this is a horible city... A lot of scammers and gold diggers.

I have never before seen such a trashy pile of rubbish written about Bucharest.
Utter lies and garbage such as your commentary suggests you are either malicious or stupid.
Bucharest is, without doubt, one of the safest cities in Europe. I have lived here far longer than you and have seen none of the violence you claim. NONE.

Yes I'm sure because I stayed in PIATA ROMANA neighborhood a very upscale area,supposedly.

I lived in Bucharest for 8 months in a supposed great area but I left due to extreme violence throughout the city.The high prices weren't an issue for me.The crime rates listed here aren't correct but instead double that. The city is loaded with guns and I've heard automatic weapons many times throughout the city day or night. If you have a death wish live in Bucharest.
