Piatta Unirii
by DPando
The main highlight in Bucharest is the Parliament Building some years before the Cauceascu's Dictator Palace....its quite impressive but i imagined huger
We took the train a little bit cahotic as well after we purchased our ticket and we got in .. we were so confused cos we didnt know which was the station we had to get down.... luclily a kind woman talked to us in english and explained that ..it was Unirii Square or Piatta ....that is a huge huge square ...quite ugly and so so crowded by locals... we managed to resolve which was the way and after 400 meters walking by a wide boulevard we saw at the end the gorgeous building in front of us as you could see in this pic
Piata Unirii
by draguza
In the last years of the Ceausescus' reign, the southern section of Bucharest around Piata Unirii was designed to create the new civic centre.
You can find many big fountains in this square, which are an embellishment
Fencing Club in Bucharest
by mastercoach
Where to fence in Bucharest? Well, try Spada Fencing Club. I meet there many quality people, I enjoied the trainings, the bouts. The atmosphere is special there, the trainers there take care off that.
It is realy nice to experiment a trainig as different as mine was at this club.
About the adress, there is a map on their website. You can also talk to the manager there, he helped me arrived at the gym by takeing me there.
Also, there was an entire family, parents and 2 children, taking a begginers course when I went there.
I liked very much how they behaved with children. And I liked also how they choose to teach fencing, I mean theyr attitude is realy ok. I rented mine for the club. The price was very good.
Folkart Objects
by Delia_Madalina about Verii Botez
Verii Botez (translation: Baptise Cousins) is a family business. I came across Ruxandra and Monica while organizing an advertising event and admired their idea ever since.
They collect local craft objects and take them around to all the fairs across Romania. That's quite impressive given the fact that traditional costumes or patterns for decorating vary from one side of a country to another.
I bought some bookmarks , women jewelery and pottery and my friends abroad were all very pleased with them Pottery and shoulder bags 25 RON (8 Euro) for shoulder bags
15 RON (4 Euro) for bookmarks
The 50's Bar
by codrutz about My former favorite bar
Back in 2002 I was recommending "The 50's" as the best cocktail bar in Bucharest. In 2000-2002 I went there almost every weekend with friends, it was a good meeting point, listening to nice warm music and having a good drink.
Unfortunately with time other pubs became more popular, the area where The Fifties is located is not so central so this bar is now empty most of the times. I though of updating this tip in order not to give you wrong indications. Casual to elegant wear
