TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums World Wide Travel Advice on Eastern Europe

Hello!
I am considering relocating in Eastern Europe, more specifically in Romania. I've been researching and saw that they have really low corporate taxes (1-3%), but I am trying to find more insights into the country itself. Does anyone have any experiences?

My wife and I just returned from a Viking cruise to the Eastern European capitals with a three-day stopover in Romania. Surprisingly, we liked the country very much, especially Transylvania and the city of Brasov. Romania is a compilation of pre-communistic (until 1989) economy when everything was gray, to a vibrant city. Lots of modern buildings near the old Stalinist buildings. Plenty of outdoor restaurants, and an interesting history, Of course, the Carpathian Mountains are spectacular, second only the Swiss Alps. Can't speak knowledgeably about its economy, but there are a lot of "haves" and "Have Nots"{. The people are very friendly and proud. I would certainly do some economic research before moving over there and spend a couple of week or so exploring the country. Their government is pro-growth, but that has multiple meanings. Good luck and please share your knowledge on this forum.

That sounds like an amazing trip! I’ve heard Transylvania and Brasov are beautiful, but it’s nice to hear firsthand how much the country has changed and modernized. The mix of old and new sounds really interesting. I agree it’s always smart to do a bit of research first, especially with the economic differences you mentioned. Thanks for sharing your experience, it definitely makes Romania sound worth visiting but If you plan to explore more of Romania, you might want to hire a local guide through https://gowithguide.com/ They offer private, customizable tours with locals who can show you hidden gems and make the most of your time.
