Average Vacation Expenses in Romania

Romania
-1.82%

— value growth in dollar since 2017

The dollar’s decline against the Romanian New Leu over the last year was significantly less dramatic than it was for the previous eight currencies: the dollar is worth only 1.82 percent less today than it was last year. Day-to-day expenses in Romania remain low, and, on the whole, prices of various goods and services are comparable to those found in Bulgaria, and are especially low for getting around. With cheaper airfare between the U.S. and Romania, Romania remains in the running for an Eastern European vacation and wins out over both Bulgaria and Croatia in our overall affordability ranking. Nevertheless, with all three of these countries it’s best to bide your time for a better bang for your American buck.
