Planning a trip to Bucharest and you have no idea what to do? Here are my suggestions of things to do and see in Bucharest, the capital of Romania:
-
Palace of Parliament also called Ceausescu’s Palace – you cannot miss the second largest administrative building in the world (after Pentagon);
-
Take a trip on Victoria’s avenue, either by bike or by hop on hop off bus;
-
Go to the most beautiful library in Bucharest at Carturesti Carusel; Besides great architecture and books, you can find best traditional gifts from Romania to take home.
-
Take a walk and admire the historical buildings downtown like CEC Palace;
-
visit the lovely orthodox churches like Kretuzulescu Church or Stavropoleos Monastery hidden in Bucharest Old Town;
-
Take a walk in one of Bucharest parks. Cismigiu, Herastrau, Tineretului parks or the Botanical Garden are great places to visit if you’re looking for some peace and relaxation;
-
Visit a museum. Art Museum Village Museum or Antipa Museum are some of the most interesting museums in Bucharest;
-
go to a concert to Romanian Athenaeum where Enescu Festival is taking place every 2 years;
-
indulge yourself with a traditional Romanian dinner at Caru’ cu Bere Restaurant or at Hanul lui Manuc Restaurant. You must try the traditional dishes ciorba de burta, sarmale and papanasi.
-
enjoy a day full of swimming and relaxation at Therme Bucharest;
-
don’t return home without a shopping session on the best malls of Bucharest;
From all the international brands to traditional Romanian clothes, you will find everything here.
