Bucharest for Digital Nomads
I first ventured to Romania's capital Bucharest in 2023 because of how cheap it was. Prices have risen a lot since then, but it remains one of my favourite cities in the world.
It's architecturally beautiful, has lots of parks, and outside of the city centre doesn't see many tourists. My most recent stay was my third, and I'd be surprised if there aren't many more in the coming years.

The architecture in Bucharest is surprisingly stunning. This is the east side of the Palace of Parliament in the evening.
How affordable is Bucharest?
When I first came here in 2023, it was because it was the capital city of one of the cheapest countries in the EU. And while it is still relatively cheap by European levels, prices have jumped noticeably in the three years since.
For example at Level Up, one of Bucharest's vegan restaurants, a burger with salad and fries that cost 38 lei in 2023 costs 60 lei today. I looked into staying in my 2023 Airbnb again for this most recent visit, but quickly looked elsewhere because the price had doubled. You'll find similar price increases across the board.
So while it's still comparatively good value if you want to stay in a major EU city, it's no longer as cheap as its reputation would have you believe.
Paying for things in Bucharest
The currency of Romania is the Romanian leu, which has the plural form lei and is what you'll commonly see prices suffixed with. In international currency the abbreviation is RON.
Card payments including Apple Pay are accepted basically everywhere. That includes being able to pay for metro tickets using your phone.
During my first visit in 2023 a small number of businesses were still cash-only - I specifically remember having to pay for my gym membership in cash. During my latest two visits I didn't have to use cash once. Everything that I paid for was with Apple Pay.
What language is spoken in Bucharest?
Romanian.
Is it easy to get by with English in Bucharest?
One advantage that Romania has over many of its neighbours is that it uses the Roman alphabet. Even if you don't know a word of Romanian, which I don't, it comes across to me as a mish-mash of other European languages, so if you speak English and have only a rudimentary knowledge of French and Spanish, you might find that you can understand more written Romanian than you'd expect.
If you go to the supermarket and see 'produse vegane', I probably don't need to tell you that indicates the vegan section. Or if you see 'Acces Parcare' and 'Nu blocati accesul în parcare', it won't take you too long to understand that means 'car park access' and 'don't block access to the car park'. 'Ceai verde' means green tea, 'case de bilete' means ticket office, and I'll give you one guess how to say 'carp' in Romanian.
This doesn't mean that you'll be able to understand everything that you read - you won't, not even close, but you won't feel as lost as you do in other countries in this region that don't use the Roman alphabet.
In terms of how widely English is spoken, you shouldn't expect it from everyone, but most people that you're likely to deal with, for example those working in restaurants or in barber shops, typically speak some English. I find it pretty easy to get by here.


Salted carp eggs anyone?
How is the Internet in Bucharest?
Lightning-fast and reliable.
In my first room here in 2023, the download speeds were over 600mbps and upload speeds over 500mbps. In my second room in 2025 I had 400mbps download and 425mbps upload speeds. I've had no reliability issues, and haven't been anywhere in the city without strong mobile coverage.
Getting in and out of Bucharest
If you're arriving or departing Bucharest by air, you'll likely be doing so at Henri Coandă International Airport, Bucharest's main airport, located 16.5km north of the city centre. The most hassle-free way of getting there from the city centre is on the airport train, which runs 24 hours per day, departing in each direction between the airport and Gara de Nord every 40 minutes. The journey takes 20 minutes and tickets cost 6.50 lei.
While it's possible to buy tickets at the ticket office before boarding, it's not necessary.
The first time I took this train in 2025, English-speaking conductors walked down the train, taking payment and printing tickets for passengers. By 2026 they'd been replaced by a contactless payment machine that you scan your debit card or Apple Pay against when you get on. A non-English speaking inspector did still walk down the train checking that everyone had done so.
Gara de Nord is also likely to be the station you arrive at in Bucharest if you come by train, and it's on lines 1 and 4 of the metro, so taking the underground from here to wherever you're staying is easy.
There's also an airport bus - #100. I took this bus to the airport at the end of my 2026 stay. Just like the train, there's a POS machine on board to scan your debit card, but this was the only time through my entire stay in Bucharest where paying with Apple Pay failed. Other people have reported that rather ironically, the bus to the international airport doesn't accept foreign cards. No inspectors boarded so I got a free ride, but to be safe you might want to buy a ticket before getting on.
If arriving or departing by bus, there are two main bus terminals. Autogara Militari is west of the city centre, but an easy walk from Păcii metro station on line 3. When I took a bus to Sofia in 2023, this is where it departed from. I've never had to go to Autogara Filaret, but it also serves long-distance buses.





At Gara de Nord, look for the departures board. The airport train is labelled 'AEROPORT H COANDĂ' and leaves every 40 minutes.
Getting around Bucharest
Bucharest has a metro, buses, trams and trolleys that get to all corners of the city. Google Maps works really well at telling you the quickest way to get anywhere.
On the metro, your ticket is valid until you leave the network. On buses, trams and trolleys, your ticket is valid for 90 minutes, no matter how many rides you take.
You can always pay with contactless, however note that not all machines accept contactless.
In my experience on the trams, they have ticket machines at every door, however only one of these accepts contactless payment, so if one machine doesn't, go and look for a more modern machine. At Anghel Saligny metro station, only one of the ticket gates accepts contactless - the others don't. I only knew that because the security guard directed me to the right one. Wouldn't have had a clue otherwise.
So while I've always been able to pay by contactless when travelling on public transport, save for the airport bus, not all ticket machines are compatible.


Taken on tram #1, you can see three ticket machines - one next to each door. However, only the small yellow one nearest to the camera accepts contactless. The two orange ones further down the carriage are older models and do not. I found that out the hard way by rubbing my phone all over one of those machines trying to get it to scan my card.
Is Bucharest safe?
I've seen nothing to make me think that it's not, and that includes wandering the streets drunk in the middle of the night.
The one thing to be aware of is that Bucharest city centre has a very evident problem with drug addiction. You will be asked for money a lot, and you'll see a lot of people clearly off their tits, albeit in a non-threatening way.
Outside of the city centre this is not an issue.
Who is Bucharest suitable for?
Being in the EU and still being one of the cheapest EU countries, Bucharest is most suited to EU passport holders on a budget. As of 2025 Romania is a fully-fledged member of the Schengen Area, meaning that it's no longer suitable for nomads looking for a Schengen cool-off.
It's got a lot of green space, so it's very suited to those who like to get outside a lot, and it's a pretty vegan-friendly city.
The social scene here is a little underwhelming. While it does exist, it's not as vibrant as in other places, so it's perhaps not suited for nomads who're very socially-needy.
So basically it's suitable for poor, vegan introverts who like the outdoors and have an EU passport, which is why I keep on coming back.
Is the tap water drinkable in Bucharest?
Very much so.
Things I don't like about Bucharest
Smoking
Bucharest hasn't escaped the plague that infects the rest of Eastern Europe, with an uncomfortably high proportion of the population doing what they can to give everyone else cancer.
Men smoke. Women smoke. Children smoke.
I'm not joking, I saw a school trip and half the kids had cigarettes. Smoking is at least banned indoors, but good luck trying to breathe clean air consistently while walking down the street.
Drug addiction
Mainly in the city centre you'll see a lot of evidence of drug addiction. People trying to fly, that kind of thing.
This means that firstly, you're going to have a lot of people ask you for money. And secondly, there are a lot of people behaving erratically. I've never seen any violence directed towards other people, but I did see one guy get into a fight with a trash can once. And he won. That kind of unpredictability can put you a little on edge.
Emergency messages
The Bucharest authorities are way, way too trigger happy with those emergency messages that get sent to your phone, where even if it's on silent and on do not disturb, it'll start wailing at you. On multiple occasions I've been in the middle of video calls with my phone on do not disturb when they've been sent, which is pretty embarrassing when you're on a work call.
If these messages were being sent for legitimate reasons I wouldn't mind, but I've received many just because someone misplaced their child.
Ok, great. Thanks for telling me.
There was another one when everyone was told to seek emergency shelter from an incoming storm. It didn't even rain. Multiple others came telling me about a heatwave. It wasn't even that hot.
My guess is that the authorities are so paranoid that they'll face criticism if anything happens and they didn't send out an emergency message, that they just send them out for anything, which can get very annoying.

Two missing child alerts in an hour. All that's done is alert the local paedophiles that there are unattended children in town.
Being sociable in Bucharest
The social scene for digital nomads in Bucharest isn't completely dead, but it's certainly a bit sickly.
Facebook is a clutter of adverts disguised as events, and there aren't many bars that are appealing to go for a beer by yourself. I find my social life here limited to a small number of active Meetup groups in Bucharest, such as Bucharest Digital Nomads, which holds events at different bars and restaurants around Bucharest, or Chatty Elephants, which runs very chilled Meetups in bars that are relaxed places to go and meet new people.
If having an active social life is important to you, then Bucharest might feel lacking.

Running in Bucharest
Like many cities in Europe, Bucharest is very running-friendly. While the pavements are quiet enough and the pollution insignificant enough that you can comfortably run along the roads here, there's really no need as there are some really great parks in Bucharest.
Tineretului Park
Tineretului Park is a big park south of the city centre. During my second visit to Bucharest I was staying intentionally close by and I came here pretty much every day to either walk, run, or just get outside and get some sun.
The most obvious running route here is to do laps of the lake, one circumference of which is 2.8km. It's got a wide path all the way around, shared by runners, cyclists, walkers, rollerbladers and electric scooters. Apart from one small corner that's home to a lot of birds that stay off the path unless some genius parents decide to take their kids to feed them, there are no real bottlenecks, so you can comfortably run in either direction.
At the north-eastern tip of the lake you'll find a drinking fountain, with a few others dotted around. Even if you don't want to run, this is a great place for a lunchtime walk. There are hundreds of benches all over the park if you want to relax, and quite well hidden on top of a hill is a calisthenics area where you can come to do some pull-ups.
The one obvious and expected deficiency in this park is the number of people that smoke, where they make every effort to annoy as many people that are exercising as possible. Given the size of the park, it isn't as bad as in some other parks in Eastern Europe.






Tineretului park centres around Lacul Tineretului, which translates to 'Lake Tineretului'. You're welcome.
Văcărești Natural Park
Văcărești Natural Park is probably my favourite place in Bucharest. It's a slightly peculiar place, because it's surrounded by this big, concrete bowl, and as typically happens when you build something out of concrete, people graffitied all over it. That makes it slightly unwelcoming, made even more so by how inconspicuous the entrances are.
It perhaps explains why there's barely ever anyone else here, but I love it. The presumed intention of the bowl is to keep all pollution, including noise pollution, out of the park, which it does very effectively. The park is bordered on two sides by a main road, but once you're inside you wouldn't know it. It's a very peaceful, untamed area of parkland within easy reach of Bucharest city centre. For walking or running, I suggest having it on your list of places to come in Bucharest.
If you're running here you've got two options. You can either go down into the park where there are some trails that are suitable. Or you can run around the edge of the bowl. I prefer the latter.
The top of the bowl has a path that goes all the way around it, with one lap being 5.14km. The downside of this is that being on top of the bowl you're not protected from the noise of the nearby roads, and you're also out in the open with little shade.
As Văcărești is fairly close to Tineretului Park, you can easily combine them into a longer run, the only downside being that to get between the parks you have to cross a couple of main roads that can take a little while.







Văcărești is a beautiful nature park within easy reach of the city centre and my favourite place in Bucharest.
King Mihai I Park
King Mihai I Park, north of the city centre, is where I did all of my runs in my 2026 stay in Bucharest.
The park itself isn't that big, but what makes it good for running is that it leads down to the riverside, which has a running-suitable path along both sides, so you can use a couple of bridges to make it into a loop.
While it's very pleasant for slower runs, I'd caution against using it for faster, or timed runs, because it's quite a narrow path with some bottlenecks, shared between runners, walkers, cyclists and more in both directions. There are also restaurants along part of the route. They have people congregating outside smoking sometimes, or vehicles stopped outside making deliveries, making the already narrow path single file.
If you try to do a timed run here, you'll likely find yourself stressed-out by one of these bottlenecks, or some old person walking their dog on a lead, walking along the very right of the path, while their dog walks along the left, while you're 6km into a fast run and have to struggle to gather enough breath just to tell him to get out the fucking way.
It's much more relaxing to run slowly here.
If you start at the main park entrance, go down to the river and do a loop, it comes to about 7km, but as long as you don't mind stopping at a couple of crossings, the roads to get to the park are very running-friendly, so I'd usually run from my room in Piața Victoriei, making it closer to 12km.







When you enter the park you'll find a big grassy area with lots of space.
Izvor Park
Izvor Park is much smaller than the three parks mentioned above, with one loop being just 1.25km, but as it was so close to my first room in Bucharest, I put in a lot of laps here. If you're staying in the city centre and can't be arsed to go to somewhere bigger, it's probably your best bet.
Unsurprisingly it's full of nobheads smoking, which is good cardio training as you have to hold your breath while running past them. And if you come at the wrong time of day, there are packs of poorly attended children. I think a local school or nursery takes them there sometimes, which is annoying because you have to kick them out of the way. Other than that it's a nice place to do laps, and being right in front of the Palace of Parliament is a bonus.

Izvor Park is right in front of the Palace of Parliament, so you get a nice view while you run.
Vegan-friendly restaurants in Bucharest
Bucharest lacks a little bit in fully vegan restaurants. There are only a couple in the city centre. However, being vegan here is still very easy because most restaurants have something vegan on the menu.
Level Up
Level Up is one of the two fully-vegan restaurants in the city centre. It serves vegan takes of a mix of foreign and local foods, with burgers and pizzas dominating the menu. It's definitely not a place to come to be healthy.
From the outside it looks tiny, but that's because most of the seating is downstairs in a really comfortable room that includes six sofas. The staff are friendly, they speak English, and there's an English copy of the menu. It's all good with one notable caveat: They only open at 2pm. They've got to be the only restaurant in the world that opens right after the lunch rush.



So good that even the burger is licking his lips, this is the double burger which in 2026 costs 42 lei, with salad and fries for an extra 18 lei.
Sublimme
Sublimme is the other fully-vegan restaurant that you'll find in the city centre. It's much more health-focused than Level Up.
On weekdays they have a menu of the day, which for 54 lei includes a soup and a main dish. I recommend that simply because service can otherwise be a bit slow. And while they do open each day at 11am, wait until midday before coming here. If you come at 11:15am like I did one day, they'll complain that they haven't had time to get ready yet, like that's your fault.
The restaurant itself is pretty comfortable. It has three sofas, although one is always occupied by a staff member's laptop. Once the food arrives, it's always very good.










On the menu they have something called a proteic bowl. On my first visit to Bucharest in 2023 it looked like this, which is kind of what I was expecting. I came back here in 2025 and ordered it again expecting the same thing, except this time...
Sara Green
Sara Green is a fully vegan restaurant, outside of the city centre but nearby to my most recent room in Bucharest, so I came here a lot.
Burgers are what dominates the menu, but it has a lot of other things like salads and poke bowls. The poke bowls are pre-made and everything can be taken away, so on days I didn't have the time or the energy to make lunch, I'd come and grab a poke bowl to take home for a quick and healthy lunch.






My favourite part of the Sara Green menu is the combos, which include a burger with "rustic baked potatoes" (chips), a sauce (garlic or barbecue) and a flavoured lemonade. This is the Mr. Cheeseburger meal for 73 lei.
Getting vegan groceries in Bucharest
Vegan grocery shopping in Bucharest is as easy as anywhere else that I've been.
The main city centre supermarket is Carrefour. It has two floors, and up on the second floor it has a large 'free-from' section that includes many vegan items like protein bars. It also has dedicated vegan shelves in the chilled and frozen sections.
Even more vegan-friendly than Carrefour is Mega Image - they have small to medium-sized branches all over the city, and just in those you're going to find a lot of intentionally vegan items. Sausages, nuggets, even cheesecake and other things to make yourself fat.
If for some reason you can't find what you need in these stores, Mega Image has some larger branches like the one on General Gheorghe Magheru street, which is spread over two floors. It's as good of a place to do vegan grocery shopping as anywhere I've come across in this part of the world.









Unlike in other cities in this region, you'll find dedicated vegan sections in the supermarkets in Bucharest, like here in Carrefour.
Getting vegan supplements in Bucharest
You can find a small selection of vegan protein powders and bars in the supermarkets, but for anything more specialised, all the supplements that I've bought in Bucharest have come from Bebe Tei.
It's an odd store, in that from the outside it looks like a mother and baby store. Their logo is a pram and the items most prominently on display are children's toys, buggies, cots and high chairs. I felt a bit odd walking in here for the first time as a lone, childless man. However, once you get past the mothering section, they have a health food section that includes some vegan foods that you might not be able to find elsewhere, as well as an overwhelming amount of supplements, many of which are vegan-friendly.
Multivitamins, protein powders, algae oil. Pretty much anything that you're going to need you can find here.







For vegan supplements, the best place I've found in Bucharest is Bebe Tei. From the outside it looks like a mother and baby store, but don't let that put you off.
Where I stayed
Either through luck or skill, all three of my Airbnbs in Bucharest have been absolutely amazing. Finding a quality Airbnb here isn't a struggle like in other places.

This was the first place that I stayed in Bucharest, and it was perfect.
It's very near to the city centre, which I wouldn't stay in again, but for a first visit this was nice. Izvor Park is a short walk away, giving you some nearby green space. The large Carrefour supermarket in the centre of town is about a fifteen-minute walk from the room. Izvor and Piața Unirii metro stations are both about an eight-minute walk away, and two of Bucharest's vegan restaurants are also easy to get to.
The room is on the third floor of an apartment block. From the outside the apartment block doesn't look great, but once you're inside it's lovely. It's a one-bedroom apartment, but the living area has ample space for yoga and other exercise. There's a TV and an air conditioner in both the bedroom and the living room, and the sofa is sufficiently comfortable that I often worked on it when on my laptop, even though there's a dining table and four chairs that you can use to set up an actual workspace. The wifi here in 2023 was the fastest I'd ever used, consistently having over 600mbps and 500mbps download and upload speeds respectively. The kitchen includes a large fridge/freezer, an oven and a cooker, and more cooking tools/utensils than you expect to find in an Airbnb. In the bedroom you have a comfortable double bed with plenty of storage space, and there's a balcony that's really pleasant to sit on with a book and a cup of tea, provided the people on adjacent balconies aren't smoking (which they normally are).
That alone would make it a five-star Airbnb, but what I really loved about this place is how much every little detail had been thought about by the host. So many snacks and drinks are included with the room. That includes nineteen different types of craft beer, one bottle of whiskey, two bottles of wine, many soft drinks, peanuts, crisps, chocolate, popcorn and even fresh fruit. If you then go into the bathroom cupboard you'll find every chemical you could need, from things you might expect like laundry detergent and shampoo, to things you're never going to need, like nail polish remover. In the bedroom cupboard you'll find more clean towels and sheets than you'll know what to do with, and search around the apartment and you'll find extension cords and converter plugs.
I carry everything that I need with me, just because many hosts aren't so thoughtful, but even I still appreciated how much thought had gone into making my stay as comfortable as it could be.
My only criticism is the people in other apartments smoking on their balconies. If you happen to have the windows open and the person next door starts smoking, the smoke blows in. So where I might have preferred to keep the windows open and the AC turned-off, I generally kept the windows closed.
Despite that, this is still up there among the best Airbnbs I've stayed at.









The living area is very spacious, especially if you're alone. Plenty of space to do yoga. Probably enough space for two people to do yoga.

I was so dejected at my previous accommodation being unavailable when I decided to come back to Bucharest that I almost changed my plans to go to another city altogether. Eventually I decided that I'd come back and stay here instead, and that was a good move. This is a great apartment.
It perhaps doesn't have quite as many of the nice little touches as the room above, but I was still very impressed by how much was included. Many different teas, oil, salt and pepper to cook with, more toilet roll than I would use in a year, and even a bottle of wine in the fridge.
It's a gold-themed room, which I really liked. The walls are gold, the lights are gold, the taps are gold, the cutlery is gold, even the bum gun is gold. Yes, I did say that.
To the uninitiated, a bum gun is a water hose that sits behind the toilet and is used like a handheld bidet. They're behind every toilet in South-East Asia, and my biggest frustration when I come back to Europe each year is that they don't exist here and I have to use toilet paper like an idiot. Except one exists in this apartment, and not only is the bum gun gold, but it has a temperature control, meaning you can spray hot or cold water up your arse. Even Thailand isn't that advanced yet.
The location of this apartment is perfect. Tineretului Park is just a short walk away, and there's not one, but two medium-sized branches of Mega Image a 5-10 minute walk away, including on the way back from the park, so getting groceries while staying here is easy, as is cooking them seeing as the kitchen contains just about every utensil that you're going to need. Tineretului metro station is just outside the apartment, and you're about a 25-minute walk from the city centre.
The living room here is really comfortable. It has a very long and comfortable sofa, which is great for working from, and it faces a large TV. There's plenty of floor space to workout on, and there's a desk that includes an external monitor. Both the living room and the bedroom have air conditioning units.
There is no balcony, but that's the only criticism I could level. I loved this room, and given its location, might even rate it ahead of the one above.










It's a gold-themed room, if you couldn't tell.

I loved this place.
It was more expensive than my previous rooms in Bucharest, so I was slightly expectant when I arrived here, but it certainly didn't let me down.
The first thing to note is that it's absolutely huge. Much bigger than I was expecting from the Airbnb listing, and the biggest of the rooms listed here.
It has a study which includes a large desk, sofa and a TV, and is still very spacious. I've had bedrooms smaller than the study. The living room is probably twice as big as the study. It has a table with two chairs, a very comfortable sofa with a coffee table that faces the TV, as well as an armchair and a very beautiful mural on the wall at the other end. Then the bedroom's pretty big too.
This place is huge to a fault, because one of my only two grievances about it is that the wifi barely reaches the bed. Annoyingly so in fact. It does work there, but only sometimes.
Sometimes you can lie in bed and stream video without issue. Other times you can't even load a webpage, and that's more annoying than having no wifi at all.
I was never able to locate the router, but there's a locked cabinet in the storage cupboard, so I'd assume it's in there, but that in itself is stupid, because if the router was out in the open it'd have two fewer walls to go through and would likely work more reliably when you're in bed.
My only other grievance, is that to open and lock the front door, you have to use an app on your phone. There is no physical key. That's annoying enough - I'd like to just have a key. But worse is that this motorised lock often jams when opening the door, and I ultimately found that you have to pull on the front door with exactly the right amount of pressure each time to get it to open.
Don't pull hard enough, the lock jams. Pull too hard, the lock jams. On the worst occasion, which was a very hot day so presumably the mechanism had expanded, it took me eight attempts before I finally got the front door open. I'm really not sure why that's better than just having a key.
Besides those two things, I loved this room. The bed was really comfortable, there's loads of space for exercise in the living room once you pull the rug out the way, the kitchen's really well equipped, it's the first time in my life that I've ever had a study, and the bedroom, living room, and study each have their own air conditioners.
And I've not even mentioned what's perhaps my favourite thing about this room - the location. It's a 20-25 minute walk to King Mihai I Park, which is where I did all my runs while I was here. Sara Green (vegan restaurant) is less than 10 minutes walk. There are multiple branches of Mega Image that are easily accessible, and public transport links are very nearby.
Piața Victoriei metro station is less than a 10 minute walk. The buses that stop right outside Piața Victoriei include the #100 (the airport bus), so you can be at Henri Coandă airport within 35 minutes of closing the front door if you time it right. But probably the most useful from my perspective, is that the #1 tram stops right outside the room, and that takes you within easy walking distance of Decathlon in Obor, and Bebe Tei in Vitan.
The wifi not reliably reaching the bed was a pain, and the front door lock was definitely an annoyance, but I would stay here again in an instant. I loved it here.









This is the main part of the living room, including a sofa and a dining table with chairs.
Summary of Bucharest
Do I want to come back to Bucharest again?
I absolutely love my life as a digital nomad and I'll live out the rest of my days like this if I can. Unfortunately, at some point reality is going to bring me back down to earth.
Whether it's for financial reasons, for medical reasons, because I can't find remote work anymore, or some other reason altogether, a day is going to come when I have to settle down and live like a normal person again. And when that time comes, Bucharest is going to be at the top of my list. For what I look for in a city, it has it all.
It's affordable, it's vegan-friendly, it's got loads of open, green space, it's got low pollution levels, the people are mostly friendly, and it's in the EU, meaning I can stay here forever without any red tape.
I hope that day is a long way off, but in the meantime I will for sure be back in Bucharest again. I love it here.
