Shopping in Romania (Bucharest)

Romania can not be called the best shopping destination, but here you can buy a lot of unusual and interesting things. If you want to buy souvenirs and gifts, go to the stores in Bucharest or resort towns.

Most small and large stores in Bucharest are located in the center, close to each other, which is extremely convenient. The cost of goods is quite low, in addition, at the end of the summer you are waiting for a decent discount. The main souvenirs of Bucharest are wicker baskets and porcelain plates, bells and vases. They look very nice. The price for a small Romanian lace from $3 and above.

You can buy inexpensive porcelain figurines, but most of them are poorly made and poorly painted. When buying a porcelain item, inspect it carefully and be sure to pack it well.

Также к главным сувенирам страны относятся изделия из стекла – разнообразные салатницы, бокалы, рюмки, вазочки, подсвечники и пр. Работы местных мастеров лучше не покупать, так как большинство из них «кривобокие». Загляните в магазины с фабричной продукцией, хоть цены довольно высокие, к примеру, маленькая вазочка будет стоить около $50, но зато превосходного качества.

Bucharest sells all kinds of souvenirs: earthenware and ceramic toys, painted wooden eggs and caskets, leather slippers, embroidered blouses, napkins, tablecloths, straw hats.

You can also buy a variety of natural creams made locally in stores or pharmacies. The price of a jar of cream is about $6.

In the main streets of the city there are many jewelry shops with quite unusual products. The price of gold here is not low, but these are very original things with real yellow gold.
