Things to do
-
Old town
The heart and soul of Bucharest, Old Town is overwhelming during weekdays, nevermind weekends. Thick with pubs, clubs, restaurants, even theaters, you are bound to spend at least a few memorable nights there.
-
Palace of Parliament/National Museum of Contemporary Art
Our "beloved" dictator left behind a monument to concrete and megalomania - The People's House, a.k.a. The Palace of Parliament. It also hosts the National Museum of Contemporary Art and a nice terrace bar at the 4th floor.
-
The Peasant Museum and the Village Museum
A quite special way to spend half a day in Bucharest. The 2 museums are a time capsule for romanian folklore: architecture, clothing, woodworks, pottery, etc.
-
Take a walk on Calea Victoriei (Victory Avenue)
For sight seers, there are some great pictures waiting to be taken: The Royal Palace, G. Enescu House/Museum, Bucharest atheneum, Odeon Theater are just a few.
-
Do something very Bucharest-ish
Want to get the vibe of the people living here? Club Control, Club Fabrica and Club Eden are 3 of the most hip places in Bucharest.
