I visited Romania recently for 10 days and had a great experience.
The scene is Scene has improved recently. Pricing was fair.
Spent about $149/day on the hobby side. Best part was the quality of the GFE.
Overall: 7.5/10. Would definitely return.
Happy to answer questions.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.
