The most direct international routes to Romania are via Germany, Austria and Hungary. Passports A passport valid for a minimum of 3 months is required for all visitors. Social Conventions Romanians are very Latin in their behaviour. Handshaking is the most common form of greeting, but it is customary for men to kiss a woman's hand when being introduced. Visitors should follow normal European courtesies on social occasions.
Dress tends to be rather conservative but casual wear is suitable.
Beachwear should not be worn away from the beach or poolside. Smoking is prohibited on public transport, in cinemas and theatres. Many Romanians are smokers and gifts of Western cigarettes are greatly appreciated. Other well-appreciated gifts include toiletries and Western clothing. Photography Restrictions Sensitive installations of military importance should not be photographed.
