Sinaia is a small, generally safe mountain resort town popular with skiers and castle visitors. Violent crime is low, but tourists should watch for overpriced taxis from the airport, loose change tricks in shops, and unofficial ski/gondola touts. Foreigner-friendly with moderate English proficiency.

Πώς λειτουργεί: Exchange booths near tourist areas advertise attractive rates but apply hidden commissions or give a lower effective rate. Some use fine print or count out notes quickly.
Πώς να το αποφύγετε: Use bank ATMs for cash in RON instead of exchange counters. If you must exchange, compare the rate on the spot and count your notes.
