Bucharest apartments

by AlperIst

Hello,
I will be in Bucharest from mid January for six days. Could you please recommend a cheap and warm central apartment rental? I found a cheap flight and just bought it.
I hope it will not be too cold to walk around all day to see the city :)
Cheers
Alper

Merhaba Alper,

been in Bucharest not long ago - be prepared that it can become VERY cold ! Anyhow, with warm clothing I'm sure you'll still enjoy the city but note that Bucharest is pretty big and not really a "walking-through" city. I recommend to plan accordingly, public transport e.g. buses are cheap and pretty reliable (once you found out how the system works ;-)

iyi yolculuklar,

Re: Bucharest apartments

by taseg

Just do a web search, there are dozens of short term apartment rental companies in Bucharest (nearly all of them are reliable, but prices vary a lot). In general they have all their apartments in central areas, but to be sure choose a place that's specifically located near Universitatii, Unirii or Romana squares (the main part of downtown Bucharest).

Temperatures in mid January will probably range between 0˚C to 5˚C during the day.

Also, 6 days is a bit too long just for Bucharest (you can visit the main sites in one-two days), you should plan some day trips to the ski resorts in the Bucegi mountains (two hours away from Bucharest) and especially to Brasov (a city in southern Transylvania, three hours away from Bucharest).

Apparently the ° sign doesn't display correctly - I meant to say that temperatures will probably be between 0 and 5 degrees Celsius.

Thanks to both of you for the answers.
I rented a very cenrtal, small but nice apartment for 30eu per day.
I know it will probably not be so enjoyable to walk all day on the streets, but I will wear very strongly, like an astronaut :)
I already made a contact from a travelers community and will have a local friend there.
Cheers.

Romanian Government building

by codrutz

If you wondered where is the Romanian Goverment, well, it is in the big square named "Piata Victoriei", one of the main metro hubs and a busy intersection. Just accross is the more interesting Museum of Natural Science "Grigore Antipa" and behind that my favourite type of building - the skyscraper building of Romanian Bank for Development, the highest office building in Bucharest.

Shopping the Market Place

by Grainypix

In my last two trips to Bucharest I have found the quality of produce to be exceptional. The open air markets around the city offer a great variety of seasonal fruits, vegetables, nuts, herbs and flowers. It is also a very friendly environment for tourist and photographers alike.

A Great Shopping Experience!

by roomania about Orhideea Shopping Complex

The Orhideea Shopping Complex, is fantastic. A truly remarkable place to shop. Lots to buy, plenty of room to walk. Literally, redefines mall walking in Romania. It also includes the "Carrefour," a giant French-owned supermarket in Buch., stocking quality food, meats and a real delicatessen, with fresh seafood, fruits and vegetables. In addition, there's always the quality restaurants that sit nicely next to the variety of stores.

If you're in the mood and hungry, try "La Mama's."

It does get incredibly busy on weekend afternoons. So get there early.

Gara du Nord

by DPando

We took Bucharest after a short time in train to Gara du Nord the main train station in the city...it was someway chaotic just at first sight and my expectation wasnt wrong..
first of all we went to tickets sale desk to purchase a ticket for Eddie's ride to budapest at 7pm and mine to Veliko Tarnovo (BG) at 19.30h
We met there a miami's latin girl who was travelling by herself as well and we managed to help ourselves in that jungle ....Eddie was lucky and he got it ! but my train (always under the lady's sellers was delayed till 23.45h i couldnt understand why 4 hours..anyway we tried to get a solution looking for any bus or something strolling by the crowded streets with no visible order for a foreigner ....our chase was unlucky and Eddie and me took the subway to look around for a while in the downtown
Daniella (miami's girl ) took her train to Brasov (i guess) and now we still keep in touch by msn messenger.. (so nice )
We took the backpack in a unexpensive left-luggage storage and we went to the palace and so on ...more stories in other tips

This pic is the final of the story when i met my dear aussies friends from Sighisoara waiting their train to Sofia
