When in Romania, do as the Romanians do . . . and don't drink coffee in a coffee house ! Choose an aperitif instead. With your Dubonnet or Vermouth, you will also receive a portion of cheese, accompanied by olives, onions, tomatoes, radishes ‑ or perhaps meatballs, or various kinds of cold meats. Rinse it down with a good wine or tzuica.
Bucharest (Romanian: Bucureşti) is the capital city, as well as the economic, administrative, and cultural center of Romania.
It is located in the southeast quadrant of the country, and lies on the banks of the Dâmboviţa River.
Romania's currency is the "leu" (plural "lei") (it means "lion" in Romanian). It is the descendant of a Dutch currency that was used in this area in the 17th century.
