no lights on the street, crowded, polluted, chaotic, dirty
In a nutshell
One can never get bored here
Parliament Palace (Casa Poporului)
70 Reviews The one hour tour of the Palace of Parliament is well worth the time. I was surprised at how tasteful the decoration was - restrained and using all Romanian materials. The scale of the building allows one to consider the misdirection of funds for the benefit of a rulers ego. (pause to consider that...
93 Reviews The Central University Library of Bucharest (Romanian: Biblioteca Centrală Universitară) is a library in central Bucharest, located across the street from the National Museum of Art of Romania. Built 1864. The library can be visited from Tuesday to Thursday, between 10.00 - 14.00 hrs
86 Reviews The most numerous churches are orthodox, from the Wiki page I have counted 170 orthodox churches Then comes by religions: - 20 advent - 14 roman-catholic - 10 baptist - 10 Christian after Evangelist - 6 penticostal - 6 jewish synagogues - 5 evanghelical - 3 greek-catholic - 2 reformed - 2...
17 Reviews The old town area, otherwise known as Lipscani, is a total mess, yet fascinating. Many of the streets were ripped up years ago; then due to a dispute were left ripped up rather than repaved. Some are currently being repaired. There are wonderful buildings, beautifully restored, right next to...
31 Reviews Cismigiu Park is a lovely park - the oldest public park in Bucharest - which was very close to our hotel for the first night. We walked there after walking the main street to see the Romanian Athenaeum, the former Royal Palace (now the National Museum of Art of Romania), the Athénée Palace Hotel...
26 Reviews The Village Museum borders Herastrau Park, but its entrance is on Soseaua Kiseleff. You cannot enter it from the park. Entrance is 6Ron. It is open on Mon 9-5, Tues to Sun 9-7. The museum contains buildings from all over Romania including different styles of houses, windmills, farms, water mills,...
39 Reviews Residence of a wealth citizen, former prime minister of Romania - Mr. Grigore Cantacuzino, the building constructed between 1898 and 1900 is now the George Enescu Museum. George Enescu was a Romanian composer (1881-1955), best known for the Romanian Rhapsodies. Every two year, the Romanian...
19 Reviews Herãstrãu Park is a very large and beautiful park in the North of Bucharest - so large, it was referred to as "Bucharest's Central Park". There is a man-made lake where you can take a boat ride or rent the little pedal boats, or walk through the lovely gardens and see the many swans. Herãstrãu Park...
34 Reviews Calea Victoriei is the oldest street of Bucharest - 1692 - it used to link the Old Princely Court (downtown) with Mogosoaia Palace (north of Bucharest). It was initially paved with oak beams. The name Calea Victoriei (Victory Avenue) was given in 1878 after the Romanian War for independence. A...
24 Reviews Romanian Athenaeum is a beautiful concert hall in the center of Bucharest, and a landmark of the capital city. Opened in 1888, the ornate, domed, circular building is the city's main concert hall and home of the George Enescu Philharmonic and of the George Enescu annual international music festival....
Triumphal Arch (Arcul de Triumf)
26 Reviews Raised in 1922 to commemorate Romania's Great War dead, the original construction was of wood, replaced by the present, Petru Antonescu designed concrete structure in 1935. Standing 25 metres high, the Arc has a staircase that allows visitors to climb to the terrace on the top of the monument. The...

5 Reviews and 275 Opinions I am traveling to Bucharest on weekly basis. I have tried more 4*-5* hotels, but only one has become...
37 Reviews This is also a typical Romanian restaurant with the same culture of "Hanul manuc" . You can eat in the open air, in summer time.Ciorba means Soup and the origin is a turkish word ( corba) Drink soup as a starter which is a Romanian tradition too.
25 Reviews It has been established that I LOVE THE HARD ROCK CAFE - this cafe is the 36th one I have visited. We went at 3pm on a Monday, and it was mostly empty - but it would likely feel that way anyway, since this location is the largest in Europe. After going a little crazy in the Rock Shop, one of the...
17 Reviews Official taxi In February this year Dave Mooney and I flew Easy Jet to the lightly snow covered Bucharest Otopeni Airport. First lesson of the day was how not to be conned by the official taxis having first been warned about taxi touts. The tourist information agent told us to use the ‘yellow’...
19 Reviews AVOID any yellow taxi that has a price sticker of 3.50 LEI on either side of the front wings. In my two experiences I found the drivers to be con artists and criminals. On both occasions they attempted to charge 60 LEI for a 5km journey. They will try to trick you by placing pieces of tape across...
14 Reviews The system for taxis between Otopeni and Bucharest has changed. Now there is a freefone on the right after exiting the customs check. You can choose a taxi company, phone them and order a taxi. You will be told the reference number of the taxi. Then you go out and wait for the taxi to arrive. The...
21 Reviews The fastest way to get from one distant point to another in Bucharest. The city is pretty large - not easily to walk from quarter to quarter - and crowded when talking about roads and cars. The subway network is covering pretty much of the central area and lines to the exits. It is nor the biggest...
16 Reviews Buses (petrol), trams and Trolleybuses (electric) are the second most common means of transportation in Bucharest (after the metro). Covering most areas than the subway, with more stops, the bus system is used by many people. Bucharest is not yet divided in zones. With one transport ticket you can...
21 Reviews If you feel that you can't have enough of the communist architecture, here is another gem that you can admire. I hope that you can sense the sarcasm in my tone; if not, I want it to make it clear. This one was built in the 1960. You can find it behind the National Art Museum (former Royal Palace)....
17 Reviews Unfortunately Bucharest does not have a travel and discount pass, like most of the other capitals in Europe has. METRO (Subway) This is the fastest way to get from one distant point to another in Bucharest. The city is pretty large - as in not easy to walk from quarter to quarter - and crowded when...

A Thrill, a Challenge, a Laughter
There are many contradictory statements when it comes to Bucharest: stray dogs, "le Petit Paris", the world's second biggest building, the Gypsies, the Village Museum, the Balkanic air... Maybe a best...

Bucharest is the capital of Romania and home to close to 2.5 million people. It is the city where I was born and where I grew up, the place where I lived until I moved to US. I've noticed that many......
Bucharest is a mixture of grand buildings and grim tenement blocks. Walk around the northern half of the city and you can start to see why it earned the nickname, "Little Paris"; walk around the south...
