When in Romania, do as the Romanians do . . . and don't drink coffee in a coffee house ! Choose an aperitif instead. With your Dubonnet or Vermouth, you will also receive a portion of cheese, accompanied by olives, onions, tomatoes, radishes ‑ or perhaps meatballs, or various kinds of cold meats. Rinse it down with a good wine or tzuica.
Romanian culture is influenced by Hungarian, Turkish, Greek, Slavic, Serbian and Ukrainian cultures. Besides Central and Eastern European influence, Western countries such as France and Germany made a great impact on the culture of Romania.
In Romania there are several spoken languages. Beside Romanian, the only official language nationwide, other spoken languages include Hungarian, Romani, Ukrainian, and German.
