Where to stay
Most budget travelers land somewhere in Centru, within a few blocks of Bulevardul Stefan cel Mare or Strada 31 August 1989. That puts you close to Piata Centrala, the main trolleybus routes, and Strada Armeneasca, which has the densest run of cafes and bars in the city.
Getting around
- Trolleybuses run almost everywhere for a few lei a ride. Grab a reloadable card at a kiosk near any major stop instead of paying cash each time.
- Buy wine and snacks at Piata Centrala or a Linella supermarket. A solid local bottle is very affordable. Restaurant wine markups are high relative to local wages.
- Skip the airport exchange counters. The casele de schimb (exchange offices) around Centru give noticeably better rates for euros or dollars.
