Business Tips for Romania Bucharest
traveller
Bucharest Dress Code:
Casual but smart clothing outside of
business is the norm, maybe excepting some few exclusive
restaurants and hotels, which may stipulate a jacket and
tie. For business meetings in Romania travel, people usually
wear suits - both men and women.
Greeting people in Bucharest:
A friendly handshake is the normal greeting
for business in Bucharest. It is not customary to use Christian
names unless formalities are mutually disregarded. Visitors
are advised to be slightly cautious when addressing women.
The best choice is to listen previously to the way she presents
herself for being sure you get the right title - madam or
miss.
Bucharest Business Hours and Banking:
Both government and commercial offices
operate usually between 09:00 and 17:00, with some exceptions.
Generally, banks in Romania are open weekdays from 09:00
to 16:30 , and some banks are also open on Saturday. Banks
at the airport and main train stations open as early as
06:30 and close as late as 22:30. Still usually there are
exchange houses in central areas and airports open non-stop
for Romania travellers.
Bucharest Smoking:
Smoking, although more widely accepted
in Romania than in many other countries, has recently become
an issue. Expect to find no-smoking signs in many public
places, although most cafes and restaurants will allow smoking
in at least part of their premises. The non-smoker may find
this difficult, as so many people do smoke. There are still
many places for the non-smoker only. Travel Romania tips

Bucharest travel Tipping Advice
Service charges are included on all restaurant
bills. However, it is fair to add a little more if the meal
and service have been satisfying. Taxi drivers also expect
small tips of between 5% and 10% of the fare. Bucharest
porters, doormen and room service staff can be offered a
tip of approximately EUR 1.00 to EUR 3.00.
Disabled Travellers
Major attractions are easily accessible,
though less visited cultural attractions tend neglect
this aspect. There are usually parking places and ramps
adapted for the disabled in all newly built shopping centers
and buildings , although many older ones lack completely
these facilities.
A limited number of restaurants have disabled
bathrooms. Bucharest hotel is usually not disabled-friendly.
Metro transport is not wheelchair accessible, and so are
also most of the transportation system in Bucharest. Travel
Romania for disabled travellers is not so friendly considering
these aspects, however each day progress is made in this
area.
