Cost of Living and Inflation in Bucharest: What do you need to know?

If you consider moving to Bucharest you should be prepared for the crowded traffic and overpriced groceries and gas due to recent inflation. Also be careful about pickpocketers and beggers because they mostly target foreigners. On the bright side though, most of the people in Bucharest are pretty helpful if you need indications or recommendations about certain places and you might find our architecture from the old city center quite marvelous.

Someone who moves here should be mindful of traffic and the prices. I reside in the capital of my country, so traffic here is more prominent than in other cities., depending of the country which the person is from, there may be either smaller or bigger prices in the possibly new location.

As a person moving to Bucharest, or the ‘little Paris of the East’, know it is an extremely safe and beautiful place. Also, Bucharest is really affordable, so money wouldn’t be a problem. Most importantly, if you are a food lover, you should know that Romanian food is delicious, but predominantly meat-based.
