Things to do
Bucharest turns on two axes: Calea Victoriei with its palaces and museums, and the Old Town of Lipscani with bars in the side lanes. Metro and trams connect the districts, and the wide boulevards leave plenty of room for walking.
Palace of the Parliament
The Palace of the Parliament closes the view down Bulevardul Unirii, and visits run as guided tours booked in advance. Marble halls and the assembly chamber show the scale of the project begun in the 1980s.
Old Town
In Lipscani walk to Stavropoleos church with its carved wooden iconostasis, then wander the lanes behind it. Bookshops, coffee places and cobbles keep the quarter alive by day and after dark.
Village Museum
The Dimitrie Gusti Village Museum in Herastrau Park gathers wooden churches, farmhouses and mills from across the country. Afterwards circle the lake along the bank, where local families walk in the evening.
Where to stay
Lipscani
Lipscani suits evenings: bars, restaurants and cobbled lanes a couple of minutes from Piata Unirii. People sightsee by day, and the quarter stays loud until morning.
Cotroceni
Cotroceni is a quiet district with a botanical garden and a palace. The streets are green and calm, and the metro runs to the centre from the edge of the quarter.
Floreasca
Floreasca works for business travellers: offices, restaurants and the lake are close. The area is tidy and quiet, and the park by the water fills with runners in the morning.
Getting to and around Bucharest
From Otopeni Airport an express bus runs to Piata Unirii and a train continues to the north station. The metro is the quickest way between districts, and its lines meet at Piata Unirii. Trams follow the wide boulevards more slowly but reach places without a metro stop, including the older quarters.
Three days in Bucharest
Centre
Calea Victoriei in the morning: the Athenaeum, Revolution Square and the museums in former palaces. The Old Town and Stavropoleos church follow, with dinner in Lipscani.
Palace and parks
Join a booked tour of the Palace of the Parliament, then Cismigiu Park and lunch in the centre. Walk Bulevardul Unirii towards the fountains afterwards.
North of the centre
The Village Museum in Herastrau Park first, then a loop of the lake. Spend the afternoon around Floreasca and eat dinner in a local restaurant.
