## What does a Bucharest IP show that a Romania IP does not?

A Bucharest IP can check local property and classified listings on Imobiliare.ro and OLX.ro as shown to Romanian users. It also helps test Romanian-language search results and the STB and Metrorex journey information pages.

Bucharest produced around 24% of Romania's GDP in 2017. It is Romania's largest centre for information technology and communications, with several software delivery centres.

- Metrorex runs five metro lines (M1–M5) with 64 stations; M1 opened in 1979 and M5 in 2020.
- Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP) in Otopeni, 16.5 km north of the centre, is Romania's busiest airport by passengers.
- The 2021 census counted 1,716,983 residents in the municipality, which is divided into six sectors.

## How do I target Bucharest in the proxy username?

The Bucharest parameter is `-country-ro-city-bucharest`, appended to your username. It follows the English spelling rather than București, in lower case and without accents.

For a multi-step check, keep one Bucharest IP with `USERNAME-country-ro-city-bucharest-session-buchar1-ttl-10`. Sticky sessions last up to 30 minutes (the IP can change earlier).

Geolocation databases sometimes label addresses on the edge of Bucharest with a neighbouring municipality, such as Otopeni, Voluntari, Popești-Leordeni and Buftea. Read the exit with an IP lookup before a long task.

Bucharest is surrounded by Ilfov County, and the two form the Bucharest-Ilfov development region; Ilfov had 542,686 residents at the 2021 census.

## Which networks serve homes in Bucharest?

Nationally, home broadband in Romania is led by Digi (RCS & RDS), Orange Romania and Vodafone Romania; the sector is supervised by National Authority for Management and Regulation in Communications (ANCOM). Digi (RCS & RDS): First in ANCOM's top 3 providers by fixed internet connections at end-2025, with 74%.

We found no municipal or city-only fixed network for Bucharest; national operators serve it.

This describes the local market, not the networks our pool uses at a given moment. Read the ASN of your exit with an IP lookup, or keep the exit on one network with `-asn-<number>` ([ASN guide](https://eurocityproxies.com/targeting/asn/)).

## Which rules apply to checks run from Bucharest?

Romania's supervisory authority is the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing (ANSPDCP). The framework is GDPR + Law No. 190/2018 on measures implementing the GDPR. The standard VAT rate is 21%; retail sites shown to Bucharest visitors usually quote prices with it included.

Collect only what you need, respect each site's terms and robots.txt, and see our [GDPR checklist](https://eurocityproxies.com/guides/gdpr-checklist-proxy-data/). This is not legal advice.

## Bucharest proxies: FAQ

### Which nearby towns can a Bucharest geolocation show?

IP geolocation near Bucharest can show towns in surrounding Ilfov County, such as Otopeni, Voluntari or Popești-Leordeni. Ilfov had 542,686 residents at the 2021 census. Ilfov and Bucharest together form the Bucharest-Ilfov development region. Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP) sits in Otopeni, 16.5 km north of the city centre.

### What language and market should a Bucharest test target?

Tests should target Romanian-language content and the Romanian market. Romanian is the official language, and Bucharest produced around 24% of national GDP in 2017. Local landline numbers use the +40 21 or +40 31 prefix. Postal codes run from 01xxxx to 06xxxx, with one prefix for each of the six sectors.

### How do I target Bucharest with a residential proxy?

Add `-country-ro-city-bucharest` after your username and connect to `gw.eurocityproxies.com` on port 7777 (HTTP/HTTPS) or 7778 (SOCKS5). Bucharest is written in English, lower case, without accents. City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online.

### Which local sites can I check from a Bucharest IP?

Common Romanian platforms include OLX.ro, eMAG, Compari.ro and Storia. Many show listings, prices or delivery terms by location, so a Bucharest IP with a Romanian browser setting shows what local visitors get. Check by hand and follow each site's terms; the gateway blocks banking, government and payment sites.

### How much does a Bucharest residential proxy cost?

The same as any other city: $0.95 for 1 GB, $8 for 10 GB and $57 for 100 GB, with city and ASN targeting included. The top-up equals the plan price, with a $25 minimum, and unused traffic never expires.
