In this video I summarize the average cost of living in Bucharest (Romania) showing prices and expenses of living there.
How much does it cost to live in Bucharest? Check it out...
I travel the world investigating the costs of living in different places. I visit shops, gyms, offices, talk to local people to find out the expenses for an average person.

Romania frumoasaaaa 😍 🇷🇴
My husband is from Romania 🇷🇴 😍
I love Romania.
Food is so good. I love sarmale, mamaliga, salata beouf, placinta cu branza 😋 😍 🇷🇴
Where u from?
Let´s talk about placinte, sarmale, mici , carne de porc, de vaca....Why talk about serious issues, like economy wages, retirement or a mighty corruption? these are unimportant, isn´t it??
Romanian here. Lived in Bucharest. That's about right, although coffee and other going out expenses are more. The prices presented are not the usual ones. Otherwise, pretty accurate ✌
You should also think about the bills (mobile phone, internet, tv at home, electricity, natural gas, etc). Also, at groceries may not be enough 130$ as you need toiletries too. The best video was the one from Barcelona, it was really in detail. Anyway, I love this channel and I will keep watching it! Keep it up!
Thanks for the support man. Appreciate the feedback. I thought the longer format videos where a bit boring for most of the people and this still gives you a good idea of how expensive a city is.
@@pattifilms7858 no.
The more detail, the better🔥🔥🔥
The comment about public transportation not being reliable is not accurate in many aspects. Is this based on personal experience or sources found online? The metro is very efficient and frequent, trains on certain lines even come at intervals of 1 min during peak hours which is something many Western European cities aren’t able to offer. Surface transportation has its issues though there are more than enough lines to choose from if one proves to be “unreliable”. Bucharest has the 4th largest public transportation network in Europe, something that is hard to maintain logistically, and surprisingly does quite a good job of it.
Additionally, over 90% of the city is covered by public transportation, unless that lady lives in like Ilfov or someplace else then yeah, you’d probably need a car. Otherwise, you can easily find a metro station throughout the city or take a bus or tram or whatever to the nearest one.
Well, my experience was not that good and many locals mentioned its unreliability. Also if only people say it's unreliable I think that's quite the hint... But thanks for sharing your opinion, it's important to have different point ox views. Cheers
Romanians are complaint artists, they complain about waiting 5 min for a bus. If I may ask, out of curiosity, did your unpleasant opinion occur on surface public transportation or metro?
It was on underground transportation, Metro...
costoflivingin I imagine there can be instances where unpleasant experiences do happen, however, it isn’t fair to say the metro is unreliable. I am 99% sure that the locals interviewed referred to surface public transportation as being unreliable, which can be said to be true in certain cases. The metro runs like clockwork, unless of course technical difficulties occur which can happen rarely. Nevertheless, the metro is fast and comes frequently enough especially during rush hour when you rarely wait more than 4 min for a train.
Nobody's gonna tell you this but you don't need to pay for bus/tram rides, you literally just get on and look out the window and get out if you see people wearing blue vests (those are inspectors and they will give you a fee if you haven't paid)
Haha, life Hack
I’ve taken transit in Bucharest. The police are so corrupt. I bought my bus ticket and even kept my receipt because just in case…. The police came on the bus and tried to say I didn’t pay for my ticket. I showed them my receipt. There was a lawyer on the bus that told me not to get off. Stay on it. People were telling me to stay on the bus. I stayed and they left!! Honestly when you take transit be very diligent with keeping your receipts and what so.
Good analysis bro
Thank you for the video it helped me giving an impression about bucharest prices 😀 btw Revolut is not a creditcard but debit card 😉
No problem, happy i could help :)
Thank you. I like the way you presented costs (bar graphs). You may have missed your calling, perhaps you should have been an Engineer instead of Flight Attendant (explanation: engineers tend to use graphs to present data). Subscribed.
Hahaha, thanks.
The food bill is more expensive than 130$ 😂 maybe 300$ +
Keep it going, brother! Is Revolut better than Monzo, you think?
No, revolut is more ahead. Check the comparisons. Revolut is better
Thanks man!
The public transportation in Bucharest is ok. Not perfect, but not as bad as this video may let you think. The metro it is awesome, but the busses are a on the down side because of the traffic. And please, do not rent a car in bucharest! It is not a must and you will regret it while finding spaces to park or while you are in a hurry (traffic issue). If you come to bucharest and you will live in the center of the city, there is no need for a car, because the public transportation will get almost everywhere. ☺️
Thanks for the advice!
While looking at the commuting in Romania is 100x much better and safer compare from all the places here in my home country of the Philippines...
Can u provide some information regarding romania
I am in bucharest after 6 years in germany. Your metro is much better than the german metro
@@Flbari are you romanian, bulgarian, alban, serbian, indian, afghan, because you are definitely not a german!
Heyy man great job loved the vid
Thanks mate!
costoflivingin could you do Budapest in the future :) planning on living there for a month soon
Great vlog 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks!
Minimum wage workers dont stand a chance unless they share apartment or married to another minimum wage worker
Nobody works for minimum wage in Bucharest but in smaller cities there is a problem with this. In Bucharest most people make a lot more than that and the majority of people own their own homes! Romania is no°1 one in the world regarding home owners. So if you make 1000 '$ a month and spend 600 $ (if you own your home) , than you save 400 $ a month !
@@ioanpena How much you pay for home maintenance every month if you are an home owner?
Nice beautiful bucuresti, I living long time, beautiful place wonderful city nice sharing 🥰🥰🥰❤👍
You live in a beautiful country my friend ;)
We miss george buddy.... Bring him back😅
Hahaha, he went on vacation
The street to my school is at 1:01
Good quality content, 10x
Thanks 👍😊
The claim about Bucharest public transport being "unreliable" (whatever does that even mean?) is utter bollocks. Here are actually the facts: the STB (encompassing all surface transport services for the city of Bucharest) is the 4th largest in Europe and carries 1.7 million people every day. Some 600000 people also use the subway system. The surface transport system is also the most dense in the European Union. Now, if you call the Bucharest public transport network "unreliable" - based on what exactly? stuff actually arrives on time, the frequency is every few minutes tops for any line - then you'd classify most cities in the world public transport networks as abysmal. Sorry, it's simply bollocks.
Maybe it's because I'm from Switzerland and here the standard is very high. While I was there in Bucarest the few times I used the public transportation it was late or never arrived, i talk based on my experience. So I probably just got unlucky while using it.
@@pattifilms7858 If it never arrives, you weren't just unlucky, you hit the same odds as winning the lottery, except in a bad way this time. There is no line with a single means of transportation or anything. If it is late, I'm not sure how you define that exactly, since there is no exact timetable for surface means, they generally arrive in any given station once every few minutes, and I suppose at night a lot less often, you might have to wait even up to 20 minutes on certain mostly unused lines at night.
I get the point you are making about the Swiss transport system probably being better, not even going to think of contesting that. We're comparing one of the richest countries in the world per capita with one that's basically at about the mark that defines the top 1/3, so yea, it's totally expected the Swiss system is better. But by "better" I understand more modern vehicles, perhaps cleaner or better maintained. However, you harped on reliability specifically. This does in no way define how high tech the means of transportation are, but if they do the basic job, and the basic job of public transport is to transport people in a reasonable amount of time from their point of departure to the point of arrival, provided that service exists.
It is, if you will, like this comparison: a Renault Clio or a Volkswagen Golf is not up to the same technological standards as a Lamborghini Huracan, but it is just as reliable if not more reliable. Reliability measures what the object does in terms of fulfilling the designed function, not how it stacks up technologically against more expensive products.
@@pattifilms7858 I know what you mean. Switzerland is very close Sweden about all. The public transport system is safe and reliable. There are arrival and departure board at every bus, tram. station so travelers make their schedule from home, which means that you know when to arrive at the station to take the bus which saves you valuable time. This very good transport system designed for people by a civilized state is not often found in Europe, especially in Eastern Europe especially in Eastern Europe, where you are generally not sure when the bus, tram, etc. is coming.
Are there places to donate plasma in Bucharest and get paid?
Don't know sorry...
What is the cashier touching at 1:11?
Its a sponge (it has liquid in it maybe water keeping it moist). Its used to wet fingers for easily counting money (paper currency).
Average salary in Romania 1100$ ( in bucharest average salary is even bigger, so please dont misinformate ppl)
Ok, what's your source?
@@pattifilms7858 hes talking out of the ass due to romanian nationalist pride, the majority of people make approx 500 euros a month.
It is not 1100 dollars. But as well, not as this guy said in the video. The average salary is like 830 dollars.
You can check the National Institute of Statistic webpage for accurate data.
In Bucharest the avg salary si 1050 US dollars.
Also in IT the avg salary is 1800 US dollars.
Average salary in Romania is 250-300 euro/month. When you romanians will stop once for all with your patriotic lies??
As a British citizens can we live there without visa?
The British citizens can travel to Romania for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa. This applies if you travel as a tourist, to visit for family or friends, to attend business meetings, cultural or sports events, or for short-term studies or training.
To stay longer, to work or study, for business travel or for other reasons, you will need to meet the Romanian government’s entry requirements.
The minimum wage is a bit higher as of 1st of January 2023 and the rent of an apartment starts from roughly €250 a month.
dear sir
i am sakawat hossen from Bangladesh.
i want to do job in Bucharest.,but i dont find a consultant who provide me a work permit.
so there have any person who provide me a work permit.
please response.
thank you.
Currently i apply for romania gov scholarship, it said that i will get around 85€ each month and free student accomodation. Is it enough for living? How much the cost of rent if i wanna bring my wife? Someone pls confirm it.
85 euros? Maybe if you eat only bread the entire month.
So the average Romanian is - $30 each month? You've definitely missed a few that go well ahead of "entertainment."
Utilities, Clothing, toiletries, laundry detergent. They are over $90 so forget about entertainment...
Are these numbers for real? Can a Romanian please confirm? How can the average Romanian live? Honest question.
The numbers are kinda there
I was paying 260€ for a 33mp decent studio built in 2009 (basic IKEA, bed, sofa, electric oven and gas hob, balcony) + 60€ utilities(electricity, phone, internet, methan gas, building maintenance), however I had to search a lot to find something of this quality at this price, other people pay the same price for living in the communist-built areas which are just miserable
Clothes are like 32€ (jeans + shirt from H&M, you can get 4$ shirts from Decathlon also)
It's a known fact that people that have "normal" jobs like cashier, waiter, etc cannot afford to just live the "basic" life, so they have to team up to split the rent, have a grandma with an appartment in Bucharest, inherit a property, etc
If someone wants to live in Bucharest and have an "unqualified" jobs it's a no go.I have seen lots of asian looking dudes working as waiters, probably living bunched together and trying to save some money from the tips.
On the other hand there are the people that work in Software and earn 1500-3000€/month with 3-5 years xp which find it a perfect place to live since they can save more than 80% of their income with the costs of living here
Some of those people are the reason of the rent price inflation because they just ask to be ass raped posting messages like "willing to pay 500€ for a 33 mp studio" because of their lack of perseverance in finding the best price/quality ratio.
Most romanians get 400euro 500eurominimum salary. Where did you get 30euro?:)) Salaries are lower than in Western Countries But everything is much cheaper in România.
@@Denis-ed3cm You've misread. I said "negative $30 monthly" according to the video. With 400-500 euros per month you can't live basically if you have to pay rent, food, bills, etc.
@@SirChameleon yeah But most romanians dont pay rent. 90% of population owns an apartment or house. But be sure you can Find better paid jobs easily.
@@SirChameleon My mom made about $1,100 a month as an accountant and I think most people make about this much. We lived very well on this salary and we could also get nice things. About half of the monthly salary was going on mortgage payments too, so living expenses otherwise were really low.
Does every body speak English ?
Not everyone.
Over 5 dollars for a gallon of gas, but a 10 minute Uber ride for 4 dollars? Something here doesn’t make sense
Some cars Don't run on regular gas here...
I've been to Kiev and it is much poorer. The graph shown here is misleading.
If you say so...
@@pattifilms7858 I don't say so, numbers do. The economy of Bucharest is half of Ukraine's. You can check that. GDP/capita in Bucharest is higher than Berlin or Madrid. according to Eurostat. Other than that, I find your videos pretty good.
Sunt Roman!
As born and raised in Bucharest, dont live here if you dont get an education. Minimum wage wont be enough for you.
Thanks for letting us know
TYRANTS
Poor public transit and bike infrastructure is a deal breaker for me.
I understand but it's still s great place
Ok I wanna Romanian wife
