Homosexuality, although legal, is frowned upon. A small and still largely closeted gay scene exists in the
Romania's largest cities, particularly in
Bucharest, which has a few gay clubs. Photography at airports is forbidden.
Tipping: Tipping is not common in Romania, except in large hotels and restaurants frequented by tourists. A service charge is included in restaurant bills but a further 5 to 10% tip is expected. Though it is not always necessary to tip them, taxi drivers can be rewarded for good service.
