Often times when I invite friends over to visit me in Bucharest one of the first questions they ask me in relation to the trip is if they should change their currency over at their country or if they should change the money over here. My answer is always the same: "change your money in Bucharest if possible".
¿Why do I recommend this? Easy; because here you will find dozens of places to change your money and most of them will offer competitive prices. In fact, it's not uncommon over here to see two different exchange houses in one same block that offer two very different prices for your money.
Recognizing an exchange house is quite easy. Also, it's worth mentioning that you can change money pretty much any day of the week, however, if you attempt to change money on a sunday it's quite likely that you will get less "money for your money" since the exchanges that are open on sundays offer less competitive prices.
It's also worth mentioning that there are some exchange houses that charge a comission for changing your money, however most of them will have a sign on the door that says "0% comission" so you shouldn't worry about that.
