There’s a whole lot to do in Romania. Of course, to make the most out of your Romanian holiday, you should consider following these 10 Things not to do for avoiding trouble.
1. Don’t Sleep on the Romanian People
Romanian people have a reputation for warmth and hospitality and their sense of humor isn’t what you’d expect at all.
2. Don’t Talk About Dracula
Yes, Romania was once home to a bloodthirsty conqueror named Vlad Dracul, a man who just loved sticking people on pikes. You might be there to visit Dracula’s home town, but the people know about the guy and he kind of bores them.
3. Don’t Zone Out When You’re in a Cab
A lot of taxi drivers will try to take advantage of you for being out of your element . Just pay attention to the route your driver is taking and the pricing labels listed in the cab itself.
4. Don’t Forget Bribe Money
It’s not uncommon for doctors or police officers to expect a little gratuity just to do their job correctly. A lot of bribes can run you around $100, but in life-threatening emergencies, it can increase. That’s not true of every state professional, but it does happen.
5. Don’t Flash Your Valuables in the Open
Romania has some issues with petty theft and pickpocketing. As a result, keep your valuables out of site as much as possible and never keep your money where it can be easily plucked from a pocket.
6. Don’t Forget Your Dictionary
While a significant portion of the Romania population does speak English, major locations don’t often have signs in English. So, when you’re trying to navigate the country, it’s a good idea to have a dictionary on hand.
7. Don’t Go Partying Lightly
If you have the opportunity to go drinking with some locals, you should know that even on week nights, drinking can go late into the night; at weddings, dancing until the sun comes up is expected.
8. Don’t Expect to Enjoy Driving
Romania is undeniably beautiful. Unfortunately, it’s highly likely that your trip to said natural beauty will be somewhat tarnished thanks to Romania’s shoddy infrastructure. The roads are minefields of pot holes and missing gaps.
9. Don’t Leave Without Visiting an Old Village
You shouldn’t leave the country without taking in some of Romania’s rich cultural history, such as the hovels in Transylvania that have gone relatively unchanged for hundreds of years, or the Ardeal’s picturesque towns.
10. Don’t Expect People to Withhold Private Information
The Romanian people will gladly tell you private information soon after you meet them. Don’t be put off by it; just roll with the punches and enjoy yourself. That kind of candid behavior is too rare to be rebuffed.
Where do you want to know what not to do in next?

A Brit making fun of Romania? By the time our Roman ancestors established a world empire and conquered England, yours were still putting blue paint on your faces, rolling around in mud and howling at the moon.

Come on, it is basic common sense not to flash you most valuable things while traveling. See what happened to Kim K in France. We are not thieves!
Romania is a very beautiful, fun country! It is full of faith-it has so many beautiful monasteries, beautiful culture, peaceful landscapes! It is the perfect spot for finding peace and love.

These are just hilarious i’m dying
dont look for "up" in romanian.
You forgot one: *Don’t go to school there*
You cannot put such labels on a whole country . Even though some of the claims do have their share of truth, the overall picture is far from the one you can imagine just by labeling it like this. Romania is much more diverse. ( like having potholes everywhere …. the main roads are very good, for e.g. the motorways are all new , better than the ones in EU – true they are only a few)
I’m romania
I hate the is video if you do a 10 thing u shouldn’t to do in Romania u should at least get information the is real. 😠😠😠
Love to Romania from Lebanon 🇱🇧
It’s ,,Vlad Țepeș"
Does Moldova hates Romania or Romania Moldova?
You didn’t ever go to România, didn’t you?
These are only stereotypes, that make us look horible, dislike!
This man probably searched "the worst things from romania" and sayd them on here
disrespectful for romanians and you’re giving a bad guide on people who dont know anything about this country
You can hate Romanians all you want. Not just Romanians, but Italians, Spaniards anyone for that matter. Hate is free. It also causes cancer. Good luck there, "Destination Tips".
Dracula its a joke, calm down
In romanian you can give u in judge just for a simple swear. Trust me. I live in romania
Edit:In romana police are trash
Doar eu ma simt jignita la faza cu Dracula și chestia cu furatul..?
As a Romain I came here to see if these are real
Vlad Dracul is a national hero! When in Romania, ignore this video!!!!
you are an imbecil,only lias
His name was Vlad Spike from Vlad țepes
Sleep on Romanian people ??? Wtf 😂😂😂 never had a person sleep on me 😂😂
I confirm that we dont steal (some of us) and we dont even have vampires(for now)
That thing about Dracula that you shouldn’t talk about its a stupid thing!!!! I’m Romanian and it’s not like that . 😒
All you said its stupid . If you think like this about everything then ALL COUNTRY SHOULD BE THE SAME LIKE YOU SAID. Of course if you go out you have to take care about your wallet and things like that. Its NORMAL ! lol 😆everything its exaggerated.
