SHOOTING ROMANIA

Permits and Authorizations
To film in private locations it is necessary to contact
the owner and ask for all the needed approvals.
For shooting in public locations it is necessary
to obtain permission from the local city district
or county authorities. If you want to film on the
streets or in places requiring temporary traffic
control, it is necessary to inform the local district
police and ask for their help.
Accommodation
Bucharest, Romania’s capitol, has international
standard hotels like Marriott, Hilton, Sofitel,
Crowne Plaza, Ibis, NH Hotels, Best Western
and Howard Johnson’s. In other major cities
and resort, there are many hotels that have been
updated to international standards. Most hotels
are simple, but also very inexpensive. Quality and
rates are in line with those across Europe; cheaper
but comfortable hotels, private guesthouses, hostels
and campsites are also available.
Hotels outside Bucharest range from US$20
to US$90 per night for a double room, with full
breakfast and taxes included. A three-course dinner
for two, with wine and tip starts at US$12, and
can go up to US$100 or more in some of the more
upscale restaurants in Bucharest.
Car Rental
Car is one of the best ways to travel around
Romania. Most major international auto rental
companies and several local companies offer cars
in the major cities and airports. Renters must be
over 21, and have a valid driver’s license and an
internationally valid credit card. Romania’s major
roads are safe and well maintained.
